TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED
Cooking Brown Rice
•
Brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice due to the extra bran layers on the grains.
For approximate rice cooking times, see the table on page 33.
When cooking brown rice, refer to the table on page 32 of this manual for rice/water
•
measurements. The water lines on the inner pot apply to white rice only; do NOT use them when
preparing brown rice.
•
Due to the extra water required to cook brown rice, the maximum capacity for brown rice in
this rice cooker is 3 cups (uncooked), which yields 6 cups of cooked rice.
Cooking Rice Mixes
Brown rice, wild rice and rice mixes vary in their make-up. Some variations may require longer cooking
times and/or additional water in order to achieve optimum results. Refer to the individual packaging
instructions for cooking suggestions.
Measuring Cup
The measuring cup included adheres to rice industry standards (180 ml). The chart on page 32
refers to cups of rice/water according to the measuring cup provided.
Maximum Capacity
Do not place more than 4 cups of uncooked rice into this appliance at one time (3 cups if using
brown rice). The maximum capacity of this unit is 4 cups of uncooked rice (3 cups brown) which yields
8 cups of cooked rice (6 cups brown rice).
Condensation Collector
This rice cooker comes equipped with a condensation collector (see Parts Identification
on page 29). The condensation collector channels excess moisture away from the rice as it cooks to
ensure that rice is always cooked to perfection and is never soggy.
NOTE:
Be sure to clean the condensation collector after each use. To remove it, grab onto each side and
pull away from the rice cooker body. Wash in warm, soapy water and dry completely, then place it back
into the rice cooker by snapping it back into place.
