BROWN RICE COOKING:
Follow the same directions as regular rice cooking; however, press the “BROWN” button to select the
BROWN rice setting. A couple of seconds later, the timer on the screen will show “00.5” and the BROWN
indicator light will turn on. When the 50 minute cooking cycle is complete, the rice cooker will beep again
and then automatically switch into a 12-hour Warm mode. The timer on the screen will show “00.0” and
will start to count upward from zero. To turn off the Warm feature, press the OFF button.
A teaspoon of salt and margarine (or other oil or fat) may be added. Cook the brown rice in mushroom or
vegetable stock, leftover vegetable-steaming water or with your favorite herbs. Other variations are to add
cashews, cranberries, raisins, apple chunks, mango cubes, mushrooms, garlic and onions. Sauté these
ingredients in olive oil and mix into the prepared rice. Cooking the rice in mushroom stock and then mixing it
with mushrooms makes a flavorful dish. You can turn any rice dish bright yellow by adding a teaspoon of
Turmeric. This doesn’t change the flavor, just the color.
Note:
1. To achieve the best cooking result, let the rice stay in “WARM” cycle for 10 -15 minutes after
cooking cycle complete.
2. It is advised that you do not keep rice or food in the warm mode for longer than 2 hours.
MAKING SOUP :

To start SOUP cooking mode:
1. Load your soup ingredients into the clay pot and cover with the supplied clay lid.

3. Press “SOUP” button, the cooker will beep. A couple of seconds later, the LED will display at “2 hours”
or “02.0” as a default setting. “SOUP” light will flash, the cooker enters in a program of defaulted 2
hours cooking.
4. You may set up longer or shorter cooking time than the default setting. To change from the default time,
Press “SOUP” key, “SOUP” light will flash, continue to press the “TIMER” key until reach to the right
cooking time. The timer increases by 30-minute increments from 1 hour to 4 hours. A few seconds
after the TIMER is set, both “SOUP” and “ TIMER” lights will stop flashing and turn on. The cooker
enters “STEW” (or SLOW) cooking mode after the sound of click.
NOTE: You cannot change the cooking time once the “SOUP” enters a cooking mode.
