Note
●Rinse-free rice can be cooked using the “Plain”, “Ultra”, “Eco”, “Quick”, “Synchro-Cooking”,
“Mixed•Sweet”, and “Porridge” menus. You can cook delicious rinse-free rice easily without being
concerned about the water amount or soaking time.
Since the bran has already been removed, rinse-free rice does not require washing. It is also good for
the environment because the water left over after rinsing the rice does not affect the rivers or ocean.
●When using the “Porridge” menu, the porridge can become pasty if kept warm for too long; serve as
soon as possible.

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.
This product contrives the
cooking method. It is not
necessary to use the
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 germinated brown rice,
whole rice or semi-polished rice, select
the “Plain” or “Ultra” 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).
Type of rice 1.0 L (5.5-cup)
type
1.8 L (10-cup)
type
Brown 3 cups or less 5 cups or less
Mixed 4 cups or less 6 cups or less
Sweet 3 cups or less 5 cups or less
Porridge • hard 0.5 cups or less 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 it with the seasoning left in the bottom
of the rice cooker or with using ketchup or
tomato sauce may result in improperly cooked
rice.
Add water according to the type of rice
and your personal preference.
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.

• 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 paella described in the supplied
“COOKBOOK”, use the “Plain” scale as a
reference.
Cooking brown rice and/or multi-grain
rice mixed in with white rice
• If the rice to be cooked includes more brown
rice and/or multi-grain rice than white rice, use
the “Brown” menu.
• If there is an equal amount of white rice and
brown rice and/or multi-grain rice, or there is
more white rice than brown rice and/or multi-
grain rice, use the “Plain” menu. (The brown
rice and/or multi-grain rice should be soaked
separately for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.)
Cooking sweet rice
When cooking sweet rice, select the “Mixed•Sweet”
menu.
Wash the rice, and then level it out so that all of
the rice is under water.
Cooking grains together with white rice
• Use the “Plain” or “Ultra” menu.
• The amount of multi-grain rice should equal
less than 20% of the volume of the white rice.
The maximum acceptable amount for the
combination of white rice and grains is 5.5 cups
with the 1.0 L type and 10 cups with the 1.8 L
type.
• The grains should be placed on top of the
white rice. Mixing them together may result in
improperly cooked food.
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 “Long-
grain” menu. When cooking seasoned rice with
various ingredients using long-grain rice, select
the “Mixed•Sweet” menu. Selecting any other
menu may result in the contents boiling over.
