• To add more avor to rice, try substituting a favorite
meat or vegetable broth or stock. The ratio of broth/

NOTE
• Brown rice requires a much longer cooking cycle than other rice varieties due to the extra bran layers on the grains. The “Brown Rice”
function on this rice cooker allows extra time and adjusted heat settings in order to cook the rice properly. If it appears the rice cooker
is not heating up immediately on the “Brown Rice” function, this is due to a low-heat soak cycle that preceeds the cooking cycle to
produce better brown rice results.
• Rice should not be left in the rice cooker on “Keep-Warm” for more than 12 hours.
