Important Safeguards
Safety instructions to follow so that the appliance can be used for many years
Remove any cooked or grains of rice adhering to the rice cooker and inner pot.
Failure to do so may cause steam to leak or contents to boil over. This may also 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 (keep warm) cooled rice.
Doing so may cause unpleasant odors.
Do not exceed the MAX line of the inner pot for
cooking.
Doing so may cause burns. It may also cause the contents
to spill.
The holes in the rice cooker are designed to maintain its functions and performance.
In extremely rare cases, insects may enter these holes and cause a 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. 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. In this case, contact the place of purchase.
Strictly observe the following instructions to keep the uorocarbon resin coating of the
inner pot from swelling, peeling, or deformation.
 Do not place the inner pot directly over a gas or induction cooktop. Do not place in a microwave oven.
 Use the Keep Warm function for white rice and rinse-free 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 or sharp utensils such as metal ladles, spoons, or whisks.
 Do not place a strainer inside the inner pot.
 Do not wash dishes or other hard objects inside the inner pot.
 Do not clean the inner pot using hard materials such as wire wool or nylon scrubbing sponges.
 Do not use a dishwasher/dryer to clean the inner pot and other parts.
MAX line

your bare hands when the rice cooker
is in operation or immediately after
cooking. Be sure to use oven mitts to
pick up the inner pot handles.
Touching the hot inner pot handle may
result in burns.
Unplug the
power cord
Disconnect the power plug when not in
use.
This is to avoid injury, burns, electric shock,
electric leakage, or re caused by insulation
deterioration.
Be sure to hold the
power plug when
removing it from an
outlet.
This is to avoid electric shock,
short circuits, or re.
Do not use multiple
appliances connected
to the same outlet.
Doing so may cause re.
Handle the rice cooker with care.
Dropping the rice cooker or exposing it
to a strong impact may cause injury or
malfunction of the rice cooker.
Do not place a magnetic sensitive
object close to the rice cooker, since it
produces a magnetic eld.
TVs and radios may experience
interference.
Content recorded on credit cards, magnetic
ID cards, cassette tapes, or video tapes
may be lost.
People with cardiac pacemakers must
consult a medical specialist before
using the rice cooker.
Operation of the rice cooker may a󰀨ect
cardiac pacemakers.
The appliance is not intended to be
operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote-control system.
Such operation may cause a malfunction.
Do not wash the entire rice cooker.
Do not soak this appliance in water or pour
water on it. Doing so may cause short
circuits and electric shock.

Otherwise, the ingredients may overow,
resulting in accidents or malfunction.
Examples: Soy beans, black beans, white
jelly ears, and other ingredients
that can foam easily.

Instructions for adding other ingredients to rice
 You can add other ingredients to
rice when using the Mixed, Sweet,
Porridge • Firm, Brown Porridge,
or Brown menu items. Do not add
other ingredients when using any
other menu item, which may result
in improperly cooked food.
 The total amount of ingredients
should be no more than
approximately 70 g per cup of white,
glutinous, and/or brown rice (except
for the Porridge menu item).
 Mix seasonings well and then add
other ingredients on top of the rice.
 Do not open the lid during cooking
to add other ingredients.
 If other ingredients are to be
added to the rice, be sure to
use no more than the allowed
maximum amount.
 Add water prior to adding the
ingredients. Adding water after
the ingredients can result in the
cooked rice being too rm.
 The following may result in
improperly cooked or burned rice.
• Adding too much of seasonings
such as soy sauce, sweet
cooking rice wine, etc.
• Seasonings sinking to the
bottom
• Adding ketchup or tomato sauce
• Mixing other ingredients with
rice
 When adding ingredients while
using the Porridge menu item,
add water to the rice so that the
water level after the ingredients
are added is not over the top line
of the Porridge scale.
Soaking rice
 Since the soaking time is included
in the cooking time for each menu
item (except for the Quick and
Exp. Limited Cups menu items),
rice can be cooked immediately
without presoaking.
 You can also manually set the
soaking time. → P. 28
Rinse-free rice
 Use the supplied measuring cup
for rinse-free rice as well.
→ P. 18, P. 20
 When cooking rinse-free rice, use
the inner pot scale as a reference
but add a little extra water (until it
just covers the corresponding line).
 When cooking rinse-free rice, dark
brown crisp rice may be formed.
 Add rinse-free rice and water, and
then stir well from the bottom so
that every individual grain of rice
is fully wetted by the water. Just
adding water to the rice may not
fully wet the rice and may result in
improper cooking.
 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 the starch in the
rice and not its bran. However,
cooking it with the starch left in
the water may result in improperly
cooked or burned rice, or the
contents boiling over.
Inner pot scale (inside)
 Use the corresponding scale on
the inner pot as a guide. Add
water according to the type of rice
and your personal preference.
 If adding more or less water than
the recommended amount, do not
deviate from that amount by more
than 1/3 of one line. Doing so may
cause the contents to boil over,
etc.

soaked for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.

Cooking times vary somewhat depending upon the type and quantity of rice, the type and quantity of other ingredients,

is used or not, etc.
