1) Rinse the rice with warm water to remove starch. This will prevent rice
from sticking to the bottom of the rice pot. Be sure the inner pot and
lid have been sanitized. They must be clean and dry before use.
2) Use the scale marked on the inside of the rice pot to measure the proper
ratio of rice to water (2:1). Proportions can be adjusted depending on
the consistency of the rice preferred. The measurements are based on a
6 oz. Asian cup, opposed to a 8 oz. American measure. Place the pot
into the body and turn it slightly to the right and left making sure it comes
into full contact with the heater plate.
3) Close the lid securely to ensure the maximum cooking efficiency.
4) Attach the power cord to the rice cooker and plug into a properly wired
wall outlet.
5) Press the cook switch down and the cook light will come on.
6) When the rice is done cooking the cook switch will pop up and the
hold light will come on. The hold light will remain on until the unit is
unplugged.
7) After the switch pops up, leave rice to cure for another 10 minutes.
8) Mix the rice well with the provided rice paddle and serve.
9) The temperature of the rice will be held within the range of 165˚F -200˚F.
Do not leave cooked rice in the pot for more than 8 hours.
10) Unplug after use. Pulling the cord may damage the plug.

Left over rice
Cold rice can be sauteed with vegetables and/or meat to create delicious
fried rice!
Rice sticking to the bottom of the rice pot
A very light coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the pot will prevent the
cooked rice from sticking to the surface.
Be creative—frozen vegetables, sauteed onions or garlic and mushrooms
can be added for flavorful rice. Avoid using acidic sauces—they will
damage the pot. Clear chicken broth or bouillon may be used instead of
water for a flavorful change of pace.
Rice comes in many varieties—from long grain, short grain, wild, brown
and more. The ratio of water to rice will vary depending on the type of rice
selected. Brown rice and wild rice require a bit more water than
other varieties.
COOKING TIPS FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD RICEMASTER
_______________________________________________
Clean the rice pot, cup and rice paddle after each use.
If rice sticks to the bottom of the pot, remove the pot from the body and
allow the pot to soak in warm soapy water.
Do not use metal utensils to scrape the rice pot. They will damage the
surface of the rice pot. Use the plastic rice paddle provided.
Be careful not to dent the bottom of the pot; this will cause poor results.
Keep the heater plate clean! Food particles and residue can easily be
removed by gently cleaning surface with a small piece of steel wool.
Carefully wipe and dry the heater plate thoroughly.
