SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
This appliance is supplied with a short power cord to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or
tripping over. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is
used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and a longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug was designed to fit into a polarized outlet in only one direction. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, do not attempt to force it or modify it in any way. Simply reverse the plug and
insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

HOW TO USE THE KEEP WARM MODE
When keeping rice in the Inner Cooking Pan for later consumption, use the Keep Warm mode.
• The rice may develop a foul odor if the Keep Warm mode is cancelled or if left in an unplugged Rice
Cooker.
To prevent the rice from becoming dry, wet, develop an odor or turn yellow, do not use
the Keep Warm mode for the following:
• Keeping a small amount of rice warm for long hours.
• Keeping rice warm for more than 12 hours.
• Adding rice.
• Reheating cold rice.
• Keeping rice warm when it contains additional ingredients and seasonings (mixed rice or sweet rice).
• Keeping food other than rice warm such as croquette, miso soup or steamed food.
• Keeping rice warm with the Spatula left inside the Rice Cooker.
When keeping a small amount of rice warm, gather the rice toward
the center of the Inner Cooking Pan.
As the amount of rice kept warm decreases, the rice may dry or become
wet. To minimize this, gather the rice toward the center of the Inner
Cooking Pan while keeping warm.

be less than 20% of the total volume,
e.g. :To cook 1 cup of rice mixed with barley,
use 0.8 cup of white rice and 0.2 cup of barley.
• Clean the rice quickly and gently because the
germ can easily be washed off.
• Do not use the Timer function or soak rice in
water for more than 30 minutes.
• Your cooking results may vary and may not
always be satisfactory. Certain types of
germinated brown rice may cause the Rice
Cooker to boil over.
• When cooking germinated brown rice made by a
germinated brown rice maker, contact the
manufacturer of the maker directly for ideal
cooking methods.
• Depending on the rice brand and/or rice polishing
level, it may cause the Rice Cooker to boil over
or not cook well.
->Make adjustments to the amount of water.

temperature of 64.4°F {18°C).
The above lengths of time are measured from Cooking until the Keep Warm process. Actual times may vary depending on the
voltage, room temperature, season, and the amount of water used.
MIXED menu setting requires a longer cooking time to allow the rice to absorb seasonings. (Takes about 30 minutes for
preheating.)

NOTE:
Do not cook the following types of foods in the Rice Cooker:
•Thick foods such as curry and stews.
•Foods that may bubble over such as those using baking soda.
•Foods that expand after cooking such as processed seafood products and beans.
•Foods with large amounts of oil.
•Foods packaged in plastic bags.
When cooking...
•Do not use paper towels or other lids to cover the food.
•Remove any foreign objects on the outside of the Inner Cooking Pan, Heating Plate or Center Sensor. -> pg.22
•When using aluminum foil or cooking sheets, do not completely cover the holes on the Steaming Basket, or allow it to extend
outside the Steaming Basket. Doing so may cause breakdown, boiling over, or steam may leak.
•Steaming time will vary based on the room or water temperature, voltage or water measurement, size, amount and
temperature of the food or other factors.
•If the food is undercooked, repeat the steam process to cook further by following steps 4 through 6 -
•When steaming consecutively, check to make sure there is enough water in the Inner Cooking Pan, and add water accordingly
to prevent boil-dry.
•Steaming fish and meat for an extended time makes it tough. If it is not cooking through, slice them thinly before steaming.
Adding herbs, garlic or flavoring with salt and pepper may reduce odor.
When cooking other foods together with rice...
•Cook the rice using the WHITE / SUSHI menu setting.
•Do not cook more than 1 cup of rice if the cooking capacity is 1 .OL, or 2-4 cups if the cooking capacity is 1.8L. (The Outer Lid
may open during cooking, preventing the rice from cooking properly and the other ingredients from steaming properly.)
•Level the surface of the rice before cooking. -> Failure to do so may cause the cooked rice to touch the Steaming Basket.
•Ingredients that require a comparatively long steaming time, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, pumpkin, and fish
(wrapped in aluminum foil) can be cooked together. If they do not cook through properly, reduce the amount of ingredients or
cut them into small pieces.
•Ingredients that require a comparatively short steaming time, such as spinach, will not steam properly.
•Do not add ingredients while the rice is cooking.
•The rice may burn more easily or take on the color of the other ingredients.
After cooking...
•Be careful when opening the Outer Lid or removing the steamed dish or Steaming Basket, as the steam and the interior of the
Main Body are very hot and can cause burns.
•Oil and scum may soil the Inner Lid Set and the inside of the Outer Lid, especially when steaming meats. Always wash the
Inner Lid Set, Inner Cooking Pan and Steaming Basket after each use, and wipe the Outer Lid Gasket and the Inside of the
Outer Lid after each use to prevent odors or spoiling.
•Hot condensation may fall from the Inner Lid Set when the Outer Lid is opened and cause burns. Please exercise caution.
