Resumen del manual
1. Place the desired amount of rice and recommended amount of water into the rice pot. Refer to the “To Cook Rice” instructions on pages 2 and 3 and begin cooking rice as directed. 2. Refer to the steaming chart below for steaming times. Only those foods that have steaming times similar to the cooking time for the amount of rice being prepared should be placed in the rice cooker at the same time as the rice. For best results, foods with shorter cooking times should be added toward the end of the rice cooking time, so they are done at the same time as the rice. 3. Place the desired food into the steaming basket. Open the cover, being careful to avoid escaping steam, and place the filled basket onto the rim of the rice pot. Close the cover securely and set a timer for the suggested steaming time (refer to the chart below). 4. Once the suggested steaming time is up, carefully open the cover and check for doneness. If cooking is complete, using hot pads, carefully lift the steaming basket out of the pot. 5. If additional cooking time is needed for the rice, close the cover and allow the rice to continue cooking until done. When the rice is finished cooking the unit will automatically switch to the WARM mode and the amber warm light will illuminate. 6. Do not leave rice in the pot on the WARM setting for more than 8 hours. Always unplug the rice cooker when the unit is not in use. STEAMING CHART Food may be steamed while the rice is cooking. Steam foods together that have similar cooking times. When not cooking rice, use 2 rice measuring scoops of water for steaming.

Rinsing makes rice less sticky by removing some of the starch. Rinse rice in another bowl or colander until water is clear. Brown rice, which has the bran intact, does not benefit from rinsing. • Like other rice cookers, the cooked rice that is in contact with the bottom of the rice pot will have a light brown, crust-like appearance. This is normal. This brown crust may be minimized with white rice if you soak the rice prior to cooking. • Rice can be flavored by using a combination of water and broth or broth alone. If broth is substituted for water, use the same amount of broth as you would water. • Brown rice requires more water and takes longer to cook than white rice. For your convenience the rice pot has water markings for both white and brown rice. Be sure to use the correct markings for the type of rice being cooked. • Different rices cook up moister and softer than others. In addition, firmness of the rice is a matter of personal preference. Water amounts may be adjusted to achieve desired texture. Try adding (for softer rice) or reducing (for firmer rice) water in 2 tablespoon increments for each scoop of rice cooked until the rice is to the desired moisture level. Never exceed the “MAX” fill level. • To prevent loss of steam and heat, do not open the rice cooker during cooking. The exception is when it is necessary to add food for steaming. • For flavorful rice pilafs or casseroles, saute your favorite chopped veggies with desired spices in a small amount of vegetable oil in a skillet until veggies are translucent and tender. Follow steps 3 and 4 of the “To Cook Rice” instructions (see pages 2-3), add the sauteed veggies, and proceed with steps 5 through 10. • A kitchen timer is very helpful if you want to know approximately when the rice will be ready to serve. Simply set the timer for the maximum cooking time and add 10 minutes for the warming period. • The rice paddle fits into the rice paddle holder for convenient stirring, serving, and storing. Insert the paddle so the indented scoop side is towards the rice cooker. CARE AND ClEANING 1. Remove plug from wall outlet and allow rice cooker to cool completely before cleaning. 2. Remove the rice pot. Wash it in warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The rice pot may be washed in a dishwasher; however, because it is made of anodized aluminum, the outside of the pot will discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwashing detergent. Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on the rice pot or on the rice cooker base. Important: Always make sure the rice pot is compl...
