2.2 CONTROL PANEL DISPLAY
3. APPLIANCE OPERATION
3.1 BEFORE USE
1. Open the packaging, take out Fuji carefully, and remove all packaging and promotional material.
2. Take out all the accessories and the operating manual.
3. Remove any promotional stickers. Wipe Fuji’s case with a damp cloth.
4. Wash the bowl and inner lid in warm soapy water with a soft sponge. Dry thoroughly.
5. Cook one cup of rice and throw it away
3.2 NAVIGATING THE CONTROLS
The display of Fuji uses Smart button controls and is easy to use with a bright state of the art hidden ‘Ice White’
display. Press the button you want to use firmly, you will see that each button is slightly raised, so it’s easy to move

Fuji IH Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
3.3 HOW TO USE THE RICE COOKER FUNCTIONS
Fuji is designed to cook rice using 7 distinct phases to produce perfect rice every time and to carefully retain
nutrients. The phased cooking and adjustments in induction temperature are controlled using Fuji’s IH UMAI fuzzy
logic processor which also enables more refined cooking of rice in the GABA brown and Yumami settings.
OPTIONS FOR COOKING RICE - pressing the ‘Menu/Cancel’ button will cycle through the cooking programmes
1. ‘White’ setting is for cooking white rice
a. When ‘White’ is selected and flashing, you can then select short grain (for sushi) or long grain by
pressing the ‘Rice Type’ button on the control panel
2. ‘Yumami’ setting is also for white rice. This is a specific cooking cycle with different temperatures, it
releases sugars contained in the rice and this phased rice cooking is said to make the rice tasted sweeter
and 'moreish', hence the name 'Yumami' (see section 3.8, page 12 for further information)
3. ‘Brown Rice’ setting is for cooking long or short grain brown rice
4. ‘GABA’ setting soaks and ‘activates’ any type of brown rice to release the gamma-aminobutyric acid, or
GABA in the brown rice. Also known as ‘hatsuga genmai’, it is thought to have many health benefits (see
section 3.8, page 11 for further information)
There are markings on the inside of the inner bowl to indicate the water levels for white long grain rice, white short
grain rice, brown rice and porridge (rice porridge/congee). During the rice cooking cycles, a countdown clock
appears for the whole rice cooking cycle, this countdown is only approximate and is not accurate until the last 10
minutes of the rice cooking cycle.
Approximate cooking times for different types of rice
Rice Type ‘WHITE’ ‘YUMAMI’ ‘BROWN ‘GABA’
Time taken 40 mins 66 mins 60 mins 145 mins
Cooking STICKY or GLUTINOUS rice
Sticky or glutinous rice is different to normal short grain rice, it needs more water. If you are cooking sticky or
glutinous rice you need to follow the water guidance below and use the short grain setting.
Water levels for ‘THAI STICKY/GLUTINOUS’ rice (use the short grain setting):
Cups of rice
1
2
3
Water level on bowl (short grain marks) 1.5 2.5 3.5
NOTE - the maximum capacity of this appliance (Do Not Exceed!)
4 cups (180ml cup) for WHITE rice
4 cups (180ml cup) BROWN rice
Note the countdown on the display will skip downwards at certain intervals as the UMAI
fuzzy logic continues to assess the cooking cycle.

9
Fuji IH Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
3.3.1 COOKING RICE IN FUJI
1. Measure the rice with the measuring cup provided. Make sure the rice is level to the top of the cup – this is
a full cup (180ml) measurement.
2. Clean the rice (if needed) as directed in ‘4.1 HOW TO COOK PERFECT RICE’. Place the inner bowl into the
appliance, put the rice into the inner bowl and fill to the water line that corresponds to the amount/type of
rice you are cooking.
3. Close the lid and select the rice setting (and grain length, if applicable) you want to cook with.
4. Press ‘Start’ and the cooking cycle will begin. A countdown appears on the display to indicate Fuji is
cooking, this is an approximate time and is not accurate until the last 10 minutes. The lights around the
‘Start’ button will gradually light up to indicate cooking progress.
3.4 HOW TO USE THE KEEP WARM FUNCTION
Once a cooking cycle has finished, you will hear a series of beeps and Fuji will automatically switch to ‘Keep Warm’.
You can activate ‘Keep Warm’ when Fuji is on stand-by (i.e. when no menu functions have been selected) by
pressing the ‘Keep Warm’ button. The keep warm light will activate and the lights around the ‘Start’ button pulse
and a count-up clock will appear on the display for your reference. The ‘Keep Warm’ function can be used for 24
hours but you may find that the rice is dry after 15 hours (as rice has to be kept at a safe temperature to eat). You
can extend this by periodically adding a little water to the rice and stirring through.
To cancel ‘Keep Warm’, press the ‘Menu/Cancel’ button. Fuji will then switch to stand-by mode. If left alone with no
programme selected, Fuji will enter stand-by mode; the display will turn off completely and the start button lights
will pulse. If you unplug Fuji while in keep warm, the next time you plug it in, keep warm will activate, you need to
cancel this before you can cook on another setting.
3.5 HOW TO USE THE OTHER COOKING FUNCTIONS
3.5.1 PORRIDGE
This menu setting can be used for Asian rice porridge or oatmeal porridge. For recipes, see page 15. The default
cooking time for the ‘Porridge’ setting is 1 hour. You can adjust this up to 2 hours using the ‘Hr’ or ‘Min’ buttons
once you have selected the ‘Porridge’ setting. Once the cooking cycle is complete, Fuji will make a series of beeps
and will automatically switch to ‘Keep Warm.
3.5.2 STEAM
Using the provided steaming basket, you can steam different types of food. The default cooking time for the ‘Steam’
setting is 10 minutes. You can adjust this up to 1 hour in 10 minute intervals using the ‘Hr’ or ‘Min’ buttons once
you have selected the ‘Steam’ setting and it is blinking on the display.
Also see the ‘Speedy Start Guide’ on the back of the warranty card for a step-by-step guide
on how to cook rice and ‘Tips to Cooking Great Tasting Rice’ on page 13 for more detailed cooking
information and advice.
If you want to cook ½ a cup of rice, there isn’t a mark on the inner bowl for this. Use the
measuring cup to add the water – ½ of a measuring cup of water for white rice and 1 cup of water
for brown rice.

10
Fuji IH Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
Using hot water rather than cold water helps speed up the heating process for the steam setting, fill to the 1.5-2
water level mark on the inner bowl when using as a stand-alone steamer.
Note: The countdown starts when the water has reached the correct temperature for steaming, so factor this into
your cooking time, or add the steaming basket when the countdown starts. See Section 5, page 14 for a more
detailed guide to steaming
3.5.3 SLOW COOK
For cooking stews and other dishes like curries, dhal, or other pulses/grains select the ‘Slow Cook’ setting.
The default cooking time for the ‘Slow Cook’ setting is 2 hours. You can adjust this up to 8 hours using the ‘Hr’ or
‘Min’ buttons once you have selected the ‘Slow Cook’ setting and it is flashing on the display. When the ‘Slow Cook’
cycle starts, the appliance heats the contents of the inner bowl to a high temperature (you will hear bubbling from
the liquid), it then switches to a lower temperature for the slow cooking. This is the same as the ‘auto’ setting on a
conventional slow cooker. Once the cooking cycle is complete, the appliance will make a sound and will
automatically switch to ‘Keep Warm’.
3.5.4 YOGHURT
For making home-made yoghurt. The ‘YOGHURT’ setting maintains the constant temperature (+38 - +40°С) required
for bifidus bacteria growth and excellent development of yoghurt out of yoghurt culture and milk.
The default cooking time for the ‘YOGHURT’ setting is 8 hours. You can adjust this down to 6 hours or up to 12 hours
using the ‘Hr’ or ‘Min’ buttons once you have selected the ‘YOGHURT’ setting and it is blinking on the display. You
can use yoghurt jars or similar containers for this setting or just make the yoghurt in the inner bowl.
Once the cooking cycle is complete, the appliance will make a sound and will automatically switch to stand-by. For
further information on making yoghurt, see section 6.1, page 17.
NOTES - on the ‘YOGHURT’ setting it does not switch to ‘KEEP WARM’. Keep the lid closed while cooking in this
programme. The delayed start function is available for this programme.
3.6 CANCELLING PROGRAMMES
To cancel a programme you have selected, cancel keep warm or, if you want to stop a programme part way through
the cooking cycle, you just need to press the ‘Menu/Cancel’ button. Fuji will then switch to standby mode.
3.7 HOW TO USE THE DELAYED START (PRESET) FUNCTION
The ‘PRESET’ function is a useful timer/delayed start feature; this allows you to set the appliance to have your rice or
food ready at a specific time. The ‘PRESET’ function is available for all menu settings.
To set the timer:
1. Press the ‘Menu’ button to select a cooking programme (for non-rice cooking programmes you can
programme the length of cooking time at this point).
2. Then press the ‘Preset’ button which will then light up.
3. By pressing the ‘Hr’ and ‘Min’ touch buttons you can select the hours in advance when the rice/dish should
be ready.
4. Press the ‘Start’ button, the cooker will display the hours/minutes in advance you selected, start to count
down and the cooking cycle will complete at the time you specified.
Fuji is a very efficient, sealed unit IH rice cooker, the slow cook setting will cook food faster
as there is no heat loss. A normal slow cooker recipe with a cook time of 7-8 hours will take 3-4
hours to cook in Fuji. This is to give a more efficient slow cook.

11
Fuji IH Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
If the preset/timer is set to below the minimum stated in the below table, the cooking cycle will start immediately.
This is because the default cooking time for each cooking cycle has to be taken into account along with additional
assessment time for the fuzzy logic to know what it is cooking.

Note – be aware that perishable foods should not be left for long periods of time when you have set the ‘PRESET’
function as they may spoil.
3.8 GABA BROWN AND YUMAMI FUNCTIONS EXPLAINED
3.8.1 WHAT IS GABA BROWN?
The GABA brown rice (or germinated brown rice) function uses specific timing and temperatures so the brown rice is
allowed to germinate. When you select the GABA function on Fuji it will soak and activate the brown rice for you
using its UMAI (smart brain) fuzzy logic control, after which it begins to phase in the cooking process. During this
process, the inner bowl and its contents are kept at a specific temperature for part of the cooking cycle which
enables the brown rice to 'sprout'.
The full cooking time for GABA rice in Fuji, including the additional activation period, takes around 2 hours 25
minutes to complete. The result of this process alters the flavour and increases the levels of nutrients such as
gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA brown rice has a softer texture than brown rice and a nuttier flavour.
The start time of the preset/timer is not exact, it will come on slightly earlier as Fuji has to
assess what exactly is in the inner bowl (rice/oats/water) and volume so it can calculate the
cooking time effectively. It deals with this by turning the unit on early so it can ‘assess’ the
contents.
For further, detailed information about GABA brown rice, please see the ‘Yum Factor’
page on our website www.yumasia.co.uk/yum-factor

12
Fuji IH Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
3.8.2 WHAT IS YUMAMI?
Yumami or ‘extra tasty’ rice function on Fuji enhances the flavour of any type of white rice by using a specially
designed cooking cycle.
It does this by using a sequence of soaking and steaming to release the sugars contained in the rice. These sugars
are then reabsorbed back into the rice as a different chemical structure and can attach to the surface of the rice.
This change in sugar chemistry can then activate Umami receptors of the tongue. The result is more flavourful rice
with improved texture and taste.
Usually the rice produced is fluffier, softer and sweeter (depending on the type of white grain used). The full cooking
time, including the special soaking and steaming, for the Yumami function on Fuji is 1 hour, 6 minutes.
For further, detailed information about Yumami, please see the ‘Yum Factor’
page on our website www.yumasia.co.uk/yum-factor

4. TIPS TO COOKING GREAT TASTING RICE
4.1 HOW TO COOK PERFECT RICE
Measure the rice accurately! Only use the 180ml measuring cup provided as other cup sizes may be different
measurements. Make sure you level the rice off at the top of the cup.
Rinse the rice! Do not wash the rice in the inner bowl – sometimes rice can contain small stones that causes
scratches to the ceramic coating. Use a separate bowl or sieve. Place the rice into a sieve or a bowl and pour fresh,
cold water on top. Stir the rice loosely by hand and drain the water. Do this 2-3 times until the water you are rinsing
with runs clear.
Be accurate with the water! The amount of water in the inner bowl prior to
cooking greatly affects the texture of the cooked rice. The more water you
use, the softer the rice will be when cooked. We recommend after washing
the rice, you place it in the inner bowl, then top up with water to the
corresponding line on the inner bowl – fill to the underside of the line, this
will give you perfect rice. If you prefer it softer, fill to the top of the line; if
you prefer it harder, fill to 2-3mm below the line.
Stir and loosen! once the appliance has switched to ‘Keep Warm’, if
possible, stir and loosen the rice straight away with the provided spatula.
This helps release excessive moisture and results in nice, perfect fluffy
rice.
4.2 OUR TIPS FOR RICE COOKING AND GETTING PERFECT RESULTS
Try and choose bags of rice with as few broken grains as possible, as broken grains make rice very soggy
and sticky.
It is important to remember that every batch of rice is different - even the rice you regularly buy can
sometimes change for the worse quality - each batch of rice absorbs water differently depending on
how well it's been processed. The end result can also depend on the age of the rice you use. Newer rice
needs less water than older rice but, of course, there is no way of knowing whether the rice you have
bought is an older or newer picked grain.
If the rice you cook is too sticky, it's worthwhile trying a batch without rinsing, as some varieties of rice
don’t need rinsing as they have been processed differently. Unlike pasta, rice isn't consistent because
it’s a natural product and the first batch cooked from a new purchase of rice can be hit and miss – the
rice cooker does mitigate this to an extent, but adjusting the amount of water is a sure way of getting
the rice you like.
If the rice you cook is too soft, next time reduce the water you add for cooking by 3-4mm, softer rice
means that there was too much water in the inner bowl during cooking. If the rice you cook is too hard,
next time add 3-4mm more water, harder rice means that there was too little water in the inner bowl
during cooking.
Do not use any kind of quick cook, partially cooked, parboiled rice – look at rice packets carefully to
make sure the rice you are buying is suitable. This type of rice is not suited for use in a sealed unit,
fuzzy logic rice cooker.

Fuji IH Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
5. HOW TO USE THE STEAM FUNCTION
You can use this appliance as a stand alone steamer (use 1.5-2 cups of water) or you can cook rice at
the same time as steaming food. If steaming whilst cooking rice, you would use the rice function for the
type of rice you are cooking and add the steaming basket to the inner bowl above the rice.
Here is a guide for estimated cooking different types of food on the ‘STEAM’ function:

IMPORTANT - Do not steam food over 3.5cm thick.
If you would like to combine cooking rice with steaming, 2 cups of rice is the maximum
capacity you can cook. Any more than this, there is a danger as the rice cooks, the
steaming basket will push into the lid and pop it open.
If cooking rice and steaming at the same time, you can open the lid (very carefully,
minding the steam that is released from the unit) to add the steaming basket part way
through the cooking cycle so the vegetables are not over-cooked.

6. RECIPES
Here are a couple of recipes to start you off with your new rice cooker.
For lots more recipes like flavoured rice (Mexican and coconut rice), risotto, stews, soups and more, please see our
foodie blog at www.greedypanda.co.uk
RICE PORRIDGE (CONGEE)
Ingredients (4-5 servings)
1 cup of rice
75g chicken thighs, chopped and parboiled
Pinch of salt
Ginger and spring onion (scallion), shredded – to taste
Directions
1. Wash rice and place into inner bowl, add water (follow levels on the inner bowl) then place the chicken on top
2. Press the ‘MENU’ button and select ‘PORRIDGE’ and press the ‘START’ button
3. When the rice cooker turns to ‘Keep Warm,’ add salt if you want it and garnish with ginger and spring onions
OATMEAL PORRIDGE
Ingredients (serves 4)
1 cup steel cut or high quality large rolled oats (we advise you put these in a sieve and shake hard 3-4 times to
dislodge any sediment)
3 cups water (measured in the provided measuring cup)
1 cup of milk (dairy or plant milk – whatever you prefer)
3-4 spoons (or more to your own taste) honey or brown sugar
* You may need to experiment with the amounts of oats and water, depending on whether you like thick or thin
oat porridge!
Directions
1. Place oats and water in the inner cooking pan.
2. Place the inner cooking pan in the main body of the rice cooker, plug in the unit, select the ‘Porridge’ setting
and adjust the timing to what you prefer (longer cooking time = thicker porridge; less cooking time = thinner
porridge) press the ‘START’ button to start.
3. When the rice cooker turns to ‘Keep Warm,’ open the lid, stir and add the remaining ingredients. Using the
Timer function and soaking the oats overnight will help soften the texture.
4. Add any dried or fresh fruit to the porridge instead of sugar – delicious and healthy on a cold winter’s day!!
Do not use milk to cook the oats, this will result in a ‘boil over’ of the contents as milk reacts
differently when heated. Only use water to cook the oats.

2. When the rice cooker turns to ‘Keep Warm’, place the rice in a wooden container (wiped with a clean, wet cloth)
and pour the vinegar mix over the rice, mixing whilst cooling with a fan
3. Hand rolled sushi is simple and quick, it’s just a case of wrapping your favourite ingredient with nori (seaweed)
RICE PUDDING
Ingredients (cup measures are for the rice measuring cup. 4-6 servings)
2 cups arborio, other short-grain rice or sticky/glutinous rice
2 cups cold water (follow the water levels on the inner bowl and use the ‘SHORT GRAIN’ menu option)
1/2 cup evaporated milk **
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 cup sweetened condensed milk **
1 cinnamon stick or pinch of ground cinnamon
1 lemon zest, one large piece of lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (or less if you prefer)
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon (to garnish)
Directions
1. Measure 2 cups of short grain rice with the measuring cup you got with your rice cooker.
2. Place the rice and water into the rice cooker, choose the ‘SHORT GRAIN’ rice setting and start the cooking cycle.
3. Meanwhile whisk evaporated milk, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon stick (or ground
cinnamon), lemon zest (a large thin slice of zest, not grated) and nutmeg together.
4. When rice has been cooked and the rice cooker has switched to warm, stir the cooked rice to loosen.
5. Then add the whisked milks into the rice, close lid and leave on the ‘KEEP WARM’ setting. Check about 30
minutes later and see if it is at the consistency you like. If you would like it thicker or hotter, you can cancel the
keep warm and use the slow cook setting to ‘boil’ the mixture to a thicker consistency.
6. Discard the cinnamon stick (if using) and the lemon zest.
7. Place into individual dishes and garnish with ground cinnamon and cream if desired.
** Vegan adaptation - this can also be made without the evaporated milk and condensed milk as a non-
dairy alternative.
Use one whole tin of coconut milk and some non-dairy milk to loosen it after stage 5 if necessary.

6.1 YOGHURT
Fuji’s ‘YOGHURT’ function takes all the hard work out of making perfect, delicious yoghurt. You can use this setting
for dairy or non-dairy yoghurt as long as you have the required starters and milk.
BASIC DAIRY YOGHURT
110g of plain, live yoghurt (if you want to use probiotic yoghurt, this is ok too) - this is your 'starter'
400ml of UHT full fat milk (UHT is best as it has already been heated to a high temperature)
1. Combine the yoghurt and the milk together and place in the inner bowl of Fuji.
2. Close the lid and select the yoghurt setting – the clock will flash on 8 hours. You can reduce the cooking time
down to 6 hours or up to 12 hours; the longer the cooking time, the thicker the yoghurt, the shorter the
cooking time, the thinner the yoghurt.
3. After cooking, Fuji will beep but won’t switch to keep warm. Allow the yoghurt to cool and decant into
containers to keep in the fridge.
This yoghurt should last 7 days and you can save some of this yoghurt to make your next batch (best used within
7 days for this, so the bacteria is fresher).
Alternative starters
Instead of the plain, live yoghurt you can also use specialised starters that you can buy in powdered form from
health food shops and online.
Surprisingly, you can also use chilli stalks (i.e. the green part that holds the chilli to the plant which you discard)
as a yoghurt starter. Chilli stalks contain bacteria lactobacillus and 10-15 chilli stalks in place of a yoghurt or
powdered starter work to develop any kind of milk into yoghurt.
Some tips for making yoghurt:
You can use yoghurt pots instead if you prefer, if you do this then fill the inner bowl to half way up the pots with
hot water so the water conducts the heat to the pots.
For non-dairy yoghurts, use a milk which has as few additives as possible (e.g. soy milk without sugar or vanilla,
just soy beans and water should be listed on the ingredients, the same goes for other types of non-dairy milks).
Always add flavour after the yoghurt has finished developing, if you are retaining some to use as your next
starter, set this aside in a separate pot before you add anything else to the yoghurt.
If your yoghurt is too thin next time you may need to add more ‘starter’ and also add 2 tablespoons of full fat
milk powder and mix well with the milk before adding the starter. UHT milk is used because it has already been
heated to a high temperature, but sometimes milk powder and more starter may be required.

7. COOKING WITH OTHER GRAINS/PULSES IN FUJI
It’s possible to cook other grains and pulses in Fuji, here is a rough guide for cooking times/settings
QUINOA
If it’s not pre-washed, make sure you rinse it well in a sieve with cold water. Use a 1:1 ratio of quinoa to water (up
the water to 1:1.25 if you are using black quinoa) and use the ‘White’ setting. Once it’s finished cooking, fluff up a
little and leave on keep warm for 5-10 minutes.
COUS COUS and GIANT COUS COUS
Use the water levels indicated on the packet and use the ‘White’ setting as cous cous doesn’t require that much
cooking anyway.
MILLET
For each portion you want to cook, measure 1/4 cup of millet into the inner bowl and add 1 cup water for each
portion (so if you use 1 cup of millet, add 4 cups water; for 3/4 cup millet add 3 cups water; for 1/2 cup millet add
2 cups water and so on).
Shake a small dash of salt into the water, then close the lid. Plug in the rice cooker and select the ‘Porridge’
cycle. You can either cook straight away adjusting the timing for how you prefer your millet (longer cooking will
have a thicker consistency; less cooking will have a thinner consistency) or you can use the preset timer for
when you will want to eat in the morning. Once cooked you can add whatever flavouring you prefer
LENTILS and BEANS
The slow cook setting is ideal for cooking lentils or beans – rinse beforehand and follow the water levels
indicated on the pack. The porridge setting also works for cooking lentils and beans, if you want to cook at a lower
temperature.
PEARL BARLEY
The slow cook setting is ideal for cooking pearl barley - rinse before cooking and follow the water levels indicated
on the pack. Using pearl barley in a large batch of soup will cook within an hour but won’t overcook if left for
longer.
8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always remove any remaining pieces of food and clean immediately after use.
Do not use any kind of metal brush, scrubber or harsh chemicals/solvents to clean the dirty parts of the appliance.
If anything remains stuck to the inner bowl, pre-soak with a little washing up liquid before washing
Do not immerse the appliance in water. Use a damp sponge or soft cloth to clean the outer case.
IMPORTANT - Never put the inner bowl or inner lid into a dishwasher. The chemicals and washing cycle of a
dishwasher are too harsh.
Any damage caused by a dishwasher will not be covered by our warranty.

The inner lid is removable. Pinch the lock release at the top upwards and the lid will come out of its holder. Wash
the removable lid after each cooking cycle with a sponge in soapy water. To put back, slide the bottom section
behind the two small ‘grooves’ and push on the top part of the lid until you hear a click.
The steam cap doubles as a condensation collector and it’s located behind the inner lid on top of the lid is
removable. Empty and wash on a regular basis. The removable steam cap can also be dissembled to ensure full
cleaning (look for a small catch that releases the two parts of the cap)
IMPORTANT INNER BOWL CARE
Only ever use plastic, silicone or wooden accessories. Never use metal to stir
as this will damage the ceramic coating on the inner bowl.
Do not pour vinegar into the inner bowl as this will damage the ceramic
coating.
The ceramic coating on the inner bowl may change colour over time. This is
completely normal and nothing to worry about.
In contrast to other rice cooker inner bowls, Fuji’s inner bowl is made from a
natural material and made by hand, the coating layer of the bowl may look
uneven.
Do not immerse the inner bowl into water this will affect how the inner bowl
conducts the heat
