tap water or filtered tap water.
Things to look out!
OWhere possible, choose recently
processed rice.
OAfter opening a bag of rice, use it
promptly.
OKeep rice in the fridge.
OUse of alkaline water (with
a pH higher than 9) may
result in sticky or yellow-
coloured rice.

(Steam will not jet out even if water is filled during cooking.)
O“Steam Less” will be displayed after cooking has finished to notify you that steam was
not injected.
Fill the Water Vessel with water. (More than half of the Water Vessel.)
When the Water Vessel is filled with water, steam will be used while keeping rice
warm or reheating rice.
What i s the water in
the Water Vessel
used for?
OThe water in the Water Vessel is boiled to inject steam.
[When cooking] The rice becomes harder and sweeter.
[When keeping warm or reheating rice] Prevents the rice from becoming dry and
reduces warming odour.
Can hot water be
used?
ODo not fill with water that is 40°C or more (hot water).
Cooking rice with steam may not be possible.
Why has the water
not decreased?
[When cooking has finished]
OIs “Steam Less” displayed? (P. 30)
OHave you cooked rice with a cooking method which does not inject steam (“Quick”,
“Eco”, “Congee”, “Sushi”, “Cake”, “Steam” or “Soup”)?
[When keeping rice warm]
OSteam may not be injected depending on the quantity of rice to keep warm or
the room temperature.
OSteam will not be injected for cooking methods which keeping warm is not
recommended.
(for “Rice”, “Congee”, “Mixed”, “Casserole”, “Cake”, “Steam” or “Soup”)
OSteam will not be injected if the water level is less than half when the keep warm
function starts.
Refill the Water Vessel with water. (More than half of the Water Vessel.)
OHave you set “If the boiling sound is a concern when keeping rice warm”? (P. 34)
Setting this will not inject steam while keeping warm, so the water level will not
decrease.
[When reheating rice has finished]
OIs “Steam Less” displayed? (P. 30)
After cooking has
finished
Why is there water
remaining?
Why does the
quantity of water
remained in the
Water Vessel vary?
OThe water in the Water Vessel is not only used to inject steam when cooking.
Water remains so that steam can be used to keep the rice warm or to reheat rice.
OWas the same quantity of water used to fill the Water Vessel each time before
cooking?
For example, the remaining water will be less if water remained in the Water Vessel is
from previous use.
(Precautions: Please replace the water each time after using the Warm Jar.)
OEven if the same quantity of water was filled before cooking, the quantity of water
remaining in the Water Vessel will change as the quantity of steam is adjusted to suit
the quantity of rice or program.
The quantity may also change slightly due to surrounding conditions such as room
temperature.
OSteam is injected automatically approximately 5 to 6 hours after the keep warm
function starts, so the quantity of remaining water may change depending on how long
the rice has been kept warm.

About ECONAVI
Question Answer
What is ECONAVI? OWhen the keep warm function is in use, the Warm Jar applies an amount of heat
corresponding to the amount of rice.
Is ECONAVI available
for all programs?
OECONAVI will work after cooking using the “Delicious”, “Quick”, “Eco”, “1-2 person” or
“Sushi” programs.
ECONAVI will not work with the following programs which are not recommended to use
the keep warm function.
(“Rice”, “Congee”, “Mixed”, “Casserole”, “Cake”, “Steam”, “Soup”.)
Why doesn’t the
ECONAVI lamp light
up during the keep
warm state?
OAre you using the “To increase the keep warm temperature.” (P. 34) or “If the keep
warm state is a concern.” (P. 35) setting?
