BEFORE INITIAL USE
Remove all packaging. Carefully wipe the outer case with a soft damp cloth and dry it afterwards with a dry
towel. Do not immerse the appliance base in water or any other liquid. Wash the inner cooking bowl in hot soapy
water to remove any impurities, dry with a dry towel. Check for any damage that may have occurred during
transit. Do not use if the appliance is damaged in any way or if the supply cord is damaged. Immediately return
to supplier for replacement or repair.
OPERATION GUIDE
This appliance has been designed for general indoor household use only. Always place on a heat resistant
surface. Disconnect from the power supply when not in use.
Measure the rice using the plastic measuring cup. One cup of uncooked rice will make approximately 3 cups of
cooked rice. Use a maximum of 5 cups of uncooked rice. Note: may vary depending on rice types.
Wash rice 4 to 5 times with fresh water until water becomes clear. Be sure to wash in separate bowl or pan. Do
not use the rice cooker’s removable bowl for this purpose.
Place washed rice in the removable rice bowl and then add water. Markings inside this container indicate the
required amount of water. Example: If you have used two measures of rice, add water to line marked 2, and so
forth.
Place the removable bowl inside the rice cooker (outside of removable bowl should be clean and dry). Do not
force. Turn slightly to right and left to be sure it is seated vertically, directly on the heating plate. Cover with the
lid.
Plug in the power cord and depress the cook switch completely. Pilot light will turn on. When the rice is cooked,
the “on” light will switch off and the “keep warm” switch will be automatically activated.
If you do not want heat preservation, simply unplug the cord after switching off the appliance at the wall socket.
Keep the lid on for at least 15 minutes allowing the rice to be steamed fluffy by the remaining heat.

The system is designed to produce uniform and perfect cooking. However you can prepare rice to your taste by
adding more or less water than indicated in step 3.
You can decrease cooking by returning the cook switch to its original position before it returns automatically or
increase it, by depressing it again after automatic cycle is complete.
The leftovers can be served later without losing flavour if you follow these instructions:
Left over rice should be removed from the removable rice bowl and kept in the refrigerator until ready to be
served. NEVER use the removable rice bowl to store leftovers in the refrigerator. NEVER use the removable
rice bowl to re-heat rice in a microwave, as this is made of metal.
