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 220 to 230 V 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.

Follow the safety instructions
in order to use your rice cooker
safely for many years.
●Remove any cooked rice or remaining grains of
rice.
Failure to do so may cause steam to leak or
contents to boil over. This may cause malfunction
or improperly cooked rice.
●Do not cover the rice cooker
with a cloth or any other
objects during cooking.
Doing so may cause the rice
cooker or the lid to become
deformed or discolored.
●Do not store cooled rice in the rice cooker.
Doing so may cause unpleasant odors.
●The holes in 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, the
repair is not covered by warranty. In this case,
contact the place of purchase.
● The uorocarbon resin coating on the inner
pot may wear and peel with extended use. It is
harmless to humans and does not interfere with
actual cooking or the heat insulating capability of
the rice cooker.
If deformation or corrosion is found on the inner
pot, a new inner pot may be purchased. Contact
the place of purchase.
●Strictly observe the following instructions to
keep the uorocarbon resin coating of the inner
pot from becoming scratched, deformed, or
peeling.
• Do not place the inner pot directly over a gas,
electric, or IH stove top or in a microwave
oven.
• Do not keep anything other than white rice or
rinse-free rice warm in the rice cooker.
• Do not use vinegar inside the inner pot.
• Use only the supplied spatula or a wooden
spatula.

Cooking semi-polished rice, whole rice,
barley rice, germinated brown rice, or
multigrain
• Select the “Short” menu.
• When cooking porridge, select the “Porridge”
menu.
Cooking brown rice or multigrain brown
rice mixed in with white rice
• Multigrain brown rice is a mixture of brown rice
and multigrain.
• If the rice to be cooked includes more brown rice
or multigrain brown rice than white rice, select
the “Brown” menu.
• If there is an equal amount of brown rice or
multigrain brown rice
and white rice, or there is
more white rice
than brown rice or multigrain
brown rice, select the “Plain” menu. (See P.11.)
(Soak the
brown rice separately for 1 to 2 hours
before cooking.)
Cooking multigrain together with white
rice
• The amount of multigrain should be less than
20% of the volume of the white rice.
• The maximum acceptable amount for the
combination of white rice and multigrain is 4
cups for the 1.0 L type and 8 cups for the 1.8 L
type.
• Place the multigrain on top of the white rice.
Mixing them together may result in improperly
cooked food.
• If the multigrain is too hard, soak it separately
for approximately 1 hour prior to cooking and
then place it on top of the white rice.
• Small grained multigrain, especially amaranth,
can expand and stick to the inner lid.
Cooking multigrain together with brown
rice
• Be sure to select the “Brown” menu.
• The maximum acceptable amount for the
combination of brown rice and multigrain is 3.5
cups for the 1.0 L type and 6 cups for the 1.8 L
type.
Cooking short-grain rice
• When cooking short-grain rice, select the “Short”
menu. When cooking seasoned rice with various
ingredients using short-grain rice, select the
“Mixed” menu. Dark brown crisp rice may be
formed when cooking short-grain rice. Selecting
any other menu may result in improperly cooked
food.
Tips on making delicious rice
Select quality rice and a good storage
location.
• Choose freshly polished, glossy rice with a
uniform grain size.
• Store rice in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place.
Carefully measure the rice using the
supplied measuring cup.
1 cup (level lling) is
approximately 0.18 L.
Use the supplied
measuring cup for
rinse-free rice as well.
Rinse the rice quickly.
Pour rice in the inner pot and add plenty of water.
Lightly stir the rice and discard the water quickly.
Use cold water and quickly rinse the rice by hand
so that the rice does not absorb the starchy water.
Cooking rinse-free rice
• Add 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 prevents it from soaking
in the water and may cause improperly cooked
rice.
• If the added water turns white, we recommend
you rinse the rice thoroughly by replacing the
water once or twice. The water turning white
is due to starch in the rice and not its bran.
However, cooking the rice with the starch left in
the water may lead to burned rice, the contents
boiling over, or improperly cooked rice.
Adding other ingredients to rice
The total amount of ingredients should be no
more than approximately 70 g per cup of rice. Mix
seasonings well and then add other 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 (see the table
below).

Mixed 3 cups 6 cups
Brown 3 cups 5 cups
• Do not open the lid during cooking to add other
ingredients.
• Add water prior to adding the ingredients.
Adding water after the ingredients results in the
cooked rice being too rm.
• The following cases may result in improperly
cooked or burned rice.
• When too much of seasonings such as soy
sauce, sweet cooking rice wine, etc. are
added
• When seasonings are settled at the bottom
• When ketchup or tomato sauce is added
• When other ingredients are mixed with rice
• When adding ingredients to porridge, add
water to the rice so that the water level after the
ingredients are added is not over the top line for
porridge.
Add water according to the type of rice
and your personal preference.
Amount of water to add
If adding more or less water than the
recommended amount, do not deviate from that
amount by any more than 1/3 of one line. Doing
so may cause the contents to boil over.

• When cooking germinated brown rice, whole
rice, semi-polished rice, barley rice,or multigrain
rice, use the “Plain” scale as a reference.
• If the amount of water to add is specied on a

Caution
●Be sure to remove any cooked rice or grains
of rice on and around the heater plate, center
sensor, lid sensor, upper casing, and hook catch.
(See P.31.)
Any rice that is not removed can prevent the
lid from closing, allow steam to leak out during
cooking, or enable the lid to open and the
contents to spray out, resulting in burns or injury.

●Do not apply too much force while rinsing rice.
Doing so may cause the inner pot to be deformed,
preventing 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.
Tips
