HOW TO:
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
1Remove all packaging materials before using.
2 Wash LID, INNER POT, RICE LADLE and MEASURING CUP in warm,
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. See Care and Cleaning.
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR HEATING UNIT IN
WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUIDS.
USING YOUR RICE COOKER
NOTE: Measuring your rice is of extreme importance. Please do not discard
the Oster® MEASURING CUP included with this unit. This is a“rice cooker”
MEASURING CUP, not a standard U.S. MEASURING CUP. One rice cup of
the Oster® MEASURING CUP included with this unit is equal to 5.33 ounces
of uncooked rice. The rice cooker is capable of cooking up to 3 full“rice
cooker” Oster® measuring cups of uncooked rice, or 6 (5.33oz) Oster® cups
of cooked rice. Do not use instant rice with this unit.
1Measure the amount of rice you would like to cook.
2Wash the measured rice in a separate bowl until water is clear.
3Place rice in the INNER POT and add the corresponding amount of
water. For example, if you are making 3 Oster® cups of uncooked
rice, add water after adding rice to the “3”mark on the INNER BOWL.
NOTE: Brown rice will take longer to cook than white rice.
4Set the INNER POT into the rice cooker. Make sure that the INNER
POT is in direct contact with the HEATING BASE by turning it slightly
from left to right until it properly ts onto the HEATING BASE. NOTE:
Make sure the outside of the INNER POT is completely dry before
placing onto the heating plate.
5Cover with the LID.
WARNING: Do not operate this appliance uncovered—steam is
generated during use that could cause burns or other serious injury.
6Plug the cord into a 120-volt AC electrical outlet. Switch the rice
cooker ON by pushing the button down. Make sure the COOK
indicator light is illuminated. Steaming will begin shortly.
7The switch will pop up and the KEEP WARM indicator light will come
on when all the water in the RICE COOKER has evaporated. NOTE: You
may need to add more water and set the rice cooker to COOK more
than once depending on your own personal tastes.

8After cooking, the KEEP WARM indicator light will illuminate. It is
important to let the rice stand for 10-15 minutes of steaming
without removing the LID. Carefully open the LID, taking care to
avoid escaping steam. Use the RICE LADLE, or other long handled
utensil, to mix the rice well to allow steam to escape.
Do Not Use Metal Utensils.
CAUTION: Steam will escape. Do not touch the INNER POT or
heating unit until they have cooled.
9Allow the appliance to cool completely and unplug before cleaning.
10 Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet when not in use.
COOKING HINTS

rinse rice thoroughly. Rinsing with water eectively removes bran
quickly and thoroughly.

may be lost.
