How to Make Rice
PLASTIC RICE-MEASURER INFORMATION
1. Do not throw away the plastic rice-measurer that came with your unit. This is an
important tool in using your rice cooker successfully and its size is standard in the
rice industry. One rice-measurer cup does not equal one standard U.S. cup (plastic
rice-measurer is 6 oz/180 ml or approximately 3/4 U.S. cup). When directed to use
"1 cup" for either rice or water, this means use one full, level rice-measurer cup.
Most rice package directions are listed in terms of rice-measurer cups.

Add desired amount of uncooked rice to pot;
then fill with water to corresponding water line.
Example: For 3 cups of rice add 3 level rice-
measurer cups of rice, and then add water to
the "3" line. Do not exceed 6-Cup fill line.

Carefully place cooking pot straight down on base. Make sure cooking pot is securely
seated by rotating the pot left and right. NOTE: Make sure bottom of cooking pot is not
bent or warped, or it will not conduct heat correctly.
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Cook only in removable cooking pot. Never place water or food
directly into the base.
BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash cooking pot following Cleaning instructions; dry thoroughly.
2. The most important detail when cooking rice is the ratio of rice to water. A good
general ratio is two parts water to one part rice (please see illustration below). If for
some reason you lose or misplace the plastic rice-measurer, measure BOTH rice
and water using a standard U.S. cup–your rice will turn out just as well. To prevent
overflow and/or overheating, do not exceed the 6-Cup Line when both rice and
water are added to cooking pot.

NOTE: While in use, do not place under
cabinets, drapes, or in other such locations.
This will prevent damage to these surfaces
caused by condensation from the removable
vent cap.
