Names and Functions of Component Parts
Following these safety instructions
will allow the appliance to be used
for many years.
●Remove any burnt rice or remaining grains of rice.
Failure to do so may cause steam to leak
or contents to boil over. This may result in
malfunction or improperly cooked rice.
●Do not cover the rice cooker
with a cloth or other object
during cooking.
Doing so may cause the rice
cooker or the lid to become
deformed or discolored.
●Do not reheat rice using the Keep Warm function
when it is cold. Doing so may result in an
unpleasant odor.
●The holes on the rice cooker are designed to
maintain its functions and performance. In
extremely rare cases, dust or even insects may
enter these holes and cause malfunction. To
prevent this, a commercially available insect
prevention sheet, etc., is recommended. If a
malfunction does occur due to this problem, it will
not be covered by warranty. Contact the place of
purchase.
● Theinnerpot'suorocarbonresincoatingmay
wear and peel with extended use. This material is
harmless to humans and this situation presents no
hindrance to actual cooking or to the rice cooker’s
heat insulating capability. In the case you would
like to purchase a new inner pan, you can do so
by contact the place of purchase.
●Strictly observe the following instructions
tokeeptheuorocarbonresincoatingfrom
scratching or peeling.

Tips on making delicious rice
Read p.14 to 15 for preparations
before cooking rice, and
p.16 to 19
for how to cook rice.
Select high quality rice and store it in a
cool location.
Choose freshly polished, glossy rice with a uniform
grain size. Store in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place.
Carefully measure the rice with the
supplied measuring cup.
One cup equals about 0.18 L.
Use the supplied measuring
cup for rinse-free rice as
well. This rice cooker has an
excellent rice cooking function,
so it is not necessary to use
the supplied measuring cup for
rinse-free rice.
Wash the rice quickly.
Stir the rice around with your hand in a generous
amount of water, pour out the water, and repeat until
the water remains clear.
When cooking semi-polished rice, whole
rice, rice boiled with barley, germinated
brown rice, and rice mixed with grains,
select the “Plain” menu.
• When cooking porridge, select the “Porridge”
menu.
• When cooking mixed grain with white rice,
place the mixed grain on top of the white rice.
Add water according to the type of rice
and your personal preference.
●Amount of water to add
If you choose to use more or less water than the
recommended amount, do not deviate from that
amount by any more than 1/3 of one line.

corresponding scale on the inner pot
as a guide and add water according
to your personal preference.)

Porridge Hard porridge: “Porridge • hard” scale
Soft porridge: “Porridge • soft” scale
• When cooking rinse-free rice, use the “Plain”
scale as a reference but add a little extra water
(until it just covers the corresponding line).
• When cooking germinated brown rice, whole
rice, semi-polished rice, grains, long-grain rice,
use the “Plain” scale as a reference.
• Iftheamountofwatertoaddisspeciedon
a package of germinated brown rice or multi-
grain rice, follow those directions and add water
according to your personal preference.
• When cooking multi-grain-brown rice, use the
“Brown” scale as a reference.
• When cooking brown rice and white rice
together, use the middle position of the “White”
and “Brown” scales as a reference.
Cooking rinse-free rice
• Add the rinse-free rice and water, and then stir
well from the bottom so that every individual grain
of rice becomes immersed in the water.(Merely
adding water to the rice will prevent it from soaking
in the water and may result in improperly cooked
rice.
• If the added water turns white, we recommend you
wash the rice thoroughly by replacing the water
once or twice. (The water turning white is due to
the starch in the rice and not its bran; however,
cooking it with the starch left in the water may
result in burned rice, the contents boiling over, or
improperly cooked rice.)
Adding other ingredients to the rice
The total amount of ingredients should be no more
than 70 g per cup of rice. Stir in any seasoning well
and then add the extra ingredients on top of the rice.
If other ingredients are to be added to the rice, be
sure to use no more than the acceptable maximum
amount (refer to the table below).
Mixed 2 cups or less
Sweet 2 cups or less
Porridge•hard 0.5 cups
Brown 1.5 cups or less
• Add water prior to adding the ingredients.
Adding water after the ingredients will result in
thecookedricebeingtoorm.
Cooking brown rice or multi-grain-brown
rice mixed in with white rice
• Multi-grain rice is brown rice mixed with grains.
• If the rice to be cooked includes more brown
rice or multi-grain-brown rice than white rice,
use the “Brown” menu.
• If there is an equal amount of brown rice or
multi-grain-brown rice and white rice, or there is
more white rice than brown rice or multi-grain-
brown rice, use the “Plain” menu. (See p.16)
(The brown rice should be soaked separately
for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.)
Cooking grains together with white rice
• Select the “Plain” menu.
• The amount of grains should equal less than
20% of the volume of the white rice.
• The combined volume of the white rice and
grains should be 3 cups at most.
• The grains should be placed on top of the
white rice. Mixing them together may result in
improperly cooked food.
• If you feel the cooked grains are too hard, soak
the grains separately for about 1 hour prior to
cooking.
Cooking grains together with brown rice
• Always use the “Brown” menu.
• The maximum acceptable amount for the
combination of brown rice and grains is 2 cups.
Cooking steamed glutinous rice
• When cooking steamed glutinous rice, select the
“Sweet • Mixed” menu.
Wash the rice, and then level it out so that all of
the rice is covered by water.
Cooking long-grain rice
• When cooking long-grain rice, select the
“Quick” menu.
When cooking seasoned rice with various
ingredients using long-grain rice, select the
“Sweet • Mixed” menu. Selecting any other
menu may result in the contents boiling over.

may not cook properly.
2 Wash the rice. (This can be
done using the inner pot.)
For rinse-free rice, see p.12.
Note
●Do not use hot water (over 35°C) to wash the
rice or when adding water. It may prevent the rice
from cooking properly.
●Do not apply too much force while washing the
rice. This could damage the inner pot and prevent
rice from cooking properly.
3 Adjust the water level.
Place the inner pot on a level surface and
adjust the water level to the appropriate line
of the corresponding scale on the inside of
the pot.
●The water level should be selected according
to the type of rice and the selected cooking
menu,butcanbene-adjustedtoyourpersonal
preference. (See the guidelines on p.12.)
When cooking 2 cups
