NOTE
• Before placing the inner pot into the rice cooker, check that it
is dry and free of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may
damage the rice cooker.
• Brown rice requires a much longer cooking cycle than other rice
varieties due to the extra bran layers on the grains. The “Brown
Rice” function on this rice cooker allows extra time and adjusted
heat settings in order to cook the rice properly. If it appears the
rice cooker is not heating up immediately on the “Brown Rice”
setting, this is due to a low-heat soak cycle that preceeds the
cooking cycle to produce better brown rice results.
• Rice should not be left in the rice cooker on “Keep Warm” for
more than 12 hours.
HELPFUL
HINTS
• If you misplace the measuring cup, a ¾ standard US cup is an exact
replacement.
• To add more avor to rice, try substituting a favorite meat or vegetable
broth or stock. The ratio of broth/stock to rice will be the same as water
to rice.
• For approximate rice cooking times and suggested rice/water ratios, see
the “Rice/Water Measurement Table” on page 7.

HELPFUL
HINTS
• Rinse rice before placing it into the inner pot to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce browning and sticking to the
bottom of the pot.
• Want perfect brown rice without the wait? Use the “Delay Timer.” Simply add rice and water in the morning and set the “Delay Timer” for
when rice will be needed that night. See “To Use The Delay Timer” on page 8 for more details.
