SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
This appliance is intended for household use.
1. A short power cord (or detachable power cord) is provided to reduce the risks of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care
is exercised in their use.
3. If a longer detachable power cord or extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
b. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
The following instructions are applicable to 120V only:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk
of electrical shock, this plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet in only one way. If the
plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

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.
●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 contacting the place of purchase.
●Strictly observe the following instructions
to keep the uorocarbon resin coating from
scratching or peeling.
• Do not place the inner pot directly over gas,
electric, or IH stove top. Do not place in the
microwave or oven.
• Use the Keep Warm function for white rice
only. Do not use for mixed or seasoned rice,
etc.
• Do not use vinegar inside the inner pot.
• Use only the supplied spatula or a wooden
spatula.
• Do not use hard utensils such as metal
ladles, spoons, or whisks.
• Do not place a basket inside the inner pot.
• Do not place tableware and other hard
utensils or objects inside the inner pot.
• Do not clean the inner pot with hard materials
such as metal spatulas or nylon scouring
sponges.
• Do not use a dishwasher/dryer to clean the
inner pot.
• Be careful not to scratch the inner pot when
washing rice.
• If the inner pot becomes deformed, contact
the place of purchase.

Cooking sweet rice
When cooking sweet rice, select the “Sweet•Mixed”
menu.
Wash the rice, and then level it out so that all of
the rice is under water.
Cooking grains together with white rice
• The amount of grains should equal less than
20% of the volume of the white rice.
• 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 3.5
cups with the 1.0 L type and 6 cups with the 1.8
L type.
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.
Tips on making delicious rice
Read p.14 to 15 for preparations
before cooking rice, and p.16 to
20 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.
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 germinated brown rice,
whole rice or semi-polished rice, select
the “Multigrain” menu.
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).

• Add water prior to adding the ingredients.
Adding water after the ingredients will result in
the cooked rice being too rm.
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.

Cooking brown rice or multi-grain-brown
rice mixed in with white rice
• 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 and
white rice, or there is more white rice than
brown rice, use the “Plain” menu. (The brown
rice should be soaked separately for 1 to 2
hours before cooking.)
• If there is an equal amount of multi-grain-brown
rice and white rice, or there is more white rice than
multi-grain-brown rice, use the “Multigrain” menu.
(The multi-grain-brown rice should be soaked
separately for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.)

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
