To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do not use the rice cooker for other than intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
This rice cooker is intended for household use.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If longer detachable power supply cords or
extension cords are to be used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance; (2) if the appliance is of the
grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and (3) the cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled down by children or tripped over accidentally.
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 fit into a polarized outlet in only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or disabled persons without
supervision. Ensure that young children do not play with the rice cooker.

The Warmth of an
Clay Ceramic Pan
This Clay Ceramic pan is produced one
by one as Yokkaichi pottery to provide the
warmth of Clay Ceramic.
* Any color irregularities, bumps, depressions
or patterns in the glaze are unavoidable
product characteristics of the manufacturing
process of clay ceramic pans.
They do not signify problems with the
quality, so you can use with safety.
High heat-storage
performance and
superior infrared
effect
The high heat-storage performance
allows heat to penetrate to the core of
the rice kernels, producing soft, delicious
rice, while the superior infrared effect lets
you enjoy browned rice.
In addition, you can use the pan right at
the table, in place of your regular rice
container. (Be sure to use a pot pad etc.)
Superior thermal
shock resistance
and heat
resistance
Because ceramic materials are used,
the thermal shock-resistant and heat-
resistant properties are superior to those
of other regular Clay Ceramic pans.
Inner Pan (Clay Ceramic)
Caution
Observe all Cautions or Notices on P.7 and 42, and
handle the Clay Ceramic pan with care.

1Measure rice and put it into the
inner pan.
Be sure to measure using the supplied measuring
cup.
* If you use a different rice measure or other
measuring cup, a measuring error may occur.
When measuring rice, the rice should be level with
the top of the cup (about 0.18 L).
Use only the quantities listed in the chart to the
right. Otherwise, the rice may not be cooked
properly.
2Rinse rice by hand.
(Rice can be rinsed in the inner pan.)
Put the rice into the inner pan, and fill with water. Stir
vigorously, and immediately discard the water.
Use cold water and rinse the rice quickly so that the
rice cannot absorb anything from the water.

3Rinsing the rice
With the heel of your hand, press down on the
drained rice. Then fill the pot with water, stir the rice
quickly, and discard the water.
Do this 4-5 times until the water remains clear.
4Place the inner pan on a level
surface and adjust the water
level to the scale on the inside of
the inner pan.
Check the type of rice and the menu. Adjust the
water volume according to personal preference.
For example: When cooking three cups of polished
rice, adjust the water level to the [3] on
the “Plain rice” scale.
Select a good-quality rice.
Choose freshly polished, glossy rice of the same grain
size.
Store it in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place.
To cook rinse-free rice
Use the supplied cup for rinse-free rice as well.
Add the rinse-free rice and water to the inner pan, then
thoroughly stir the rice from the bottom so that all grains
are immersed in water. (Simply pouring water on top of
the rice from above does not submerge all of the rice and
can prevent the rice from cooking properly.)
If the water clouds up when added to the rice, it is
recommended to rinse the rice 1 or 2 times. (The clouding
is caused by the starch, not the bran. Rice that cooks in
cloudy water can burn or not cook properly, and the water
can boil over.)

The measuring scale on the inner pan is the
recommended amount.
Adjust based on your preferences; each family can
cook rice with the firmness and the bottom crust
they like.
Adding vegetables and meat to your rice
Total ingredient amount should be less than 70 g for each cup
of rice.
Stir the water, seasoning and rice well. And then place the
ingredient on top of the rice. Ingredient must be chopped
finely. There is the maximum cooking amount for each menu,
see the chart below.
Cooking Sweet rice
After rinsing the rice, soak it for about 30 minutes,
and level the rice so that it doesn't stick up above
the water level. (If you soak it for less time, the rice
will be firmer when cooked, and for more time, it will
be softer.)
Caution
Rinse rice well.
Do not use hot water (over 35°C) to rinse rice.
Correct measurement
Wrong measurement
Spread the
rice so that it
is level.

Rice Crust
When the rice is cooked, there will be a rice crust;
when loosening the rice, the crust may be mixed in.
During warming, the fragrant rice crust formed
during cooking will absorb water and soften,
lessening the flavor.
To keep rice warm and delicious
Do not keep doing the following, which may cause
odors, drying out, stickiness, color changes, spoilage
or corrosion of the inner pan.
• Keeping rice warm for longer than 12 hours
• Keeping foods other than white rice warm (Mixed Rice,
Bean Rice, etc.)
• Warming cold rice
• Adding cold rice to rice that is warming
• Placing a Spatula in the inner pan while warming
• Warming when the power cord is unplugged
• Minimum amounts of rice heat can be kept within, 5.5
-cup rice cooker is 1 cup, 10- cup rice cooker is 2 cups.
See P.15, 53.
• Keeping rice warm when rice grains are stuck to the
rim or gaskets of the inner pan
• Keeping rice warm when the rice inside the inner pan is
shaped like a doughnut
When keeping a small amount of rice warm, gather it
in the center of the inner pan and consume it as soon
as possible.
Do not set the timer to keep rice warm for longer than
12 hours.
* If the environment is harsh (cold climate or high
ambient temperature), eat the rice as soon as
possible.
Caution
Lifting the inner pan while warming cancels the
warming function.
Do not unplug the rice cooker without first
canceling the warming function. (When you plug it
in again, the Keep Warm lamp will be lit, and you
won't be able to cook rice.)
Do not store for long periods of time with the
commercially available cloth (for absorbing
condensation) in place. Doing so can cause mold
and mildew.
1Stir and loosen the cooked rice.
Mound the rice slightly inside the inner pan so that no
grains stick to the sides of the pan.
* Due to the thermal storage properties of the
earthenware, small amounts of rice sticking to the
sides of the pan may become dried out.
Wipe off any condensation that drips on the upper
casing or outer surface of the rice cooker when you lift
the lid after cooking is finished or during warming.
■ When using the inner pan as a serving container
When the rice is cooked, remove the inner pan from
the main unit, cover with a commercially available cloth
(for absorbing condensation), and then cover with the
pan lid to use as a serving container. The inner pan will
be hot, so take care not to burn yourself.
Place the inner pan on a pot holder or similar item to
keep the table from being damaged.
