Before Cooking Rice
1
Measure the rice.
Always use the measuring cup supplied with
the rice cooker (for rinse-free rice as well).
A level filling of rice in the supplied measuring
cup equals about 5.29 oz (0.18 L).
● Fill the measuring cup as shown below.

measurement
Note
● Always use the specified volume of rice (see
"Specifications" on p.49). Otherwise the rice may
not cook properly.
If other ingredients are to be added to the rice,
see p.14.
2
Wash the rice. (This can be
done using the inner pot.)
For rinse-free rice, see p.14.
Note
● Do not use hot water (over 95˚F [35˚C]) to wash
the rice or when adding water. It may prevent the
rice from cooking properly.

Place the inner pot on a level surface and
adjust the water level to the appropriate line
of the corresponding scale on the inside of
the pot.
● The water level should be selected according
to the type of rice and the selected cooking
menu, but can be fine-adjusted to your personal
preference. (See the guidelines on p.14.)
When cooking 3
cups of white rice,
adjust the water
level to line "3" on
the "Plain" scale.

Caution
● Be sure to remove any rice or other material
adhering to and around the center sensor, upper
casing, and the open/lock button. (See p.37.)
Adhering material can prevent the lid from
closing, allow steam to leak out during cooking, or
enable the lid to open and the contents to spray
out, resulting in burns or other injury.
