1Important Safeguards

Follow the safety instructions

in order to use your rice cooker

safely for many years.

●Remove any cooked rice or remaining grains of

rice.

Failure to do so may cause steam to leak or

contents to boil over. This may cause malfunction

or improperly cooked rice.

●Do not cover the rice cooker

with a cloth or any other

objects during cooking.

Doing so may cause the rice

cooker or the lid to become

deformed or discolored.

●Do not store cooled rice in the rice cooker.

Doing so may cause unpleasant odors.

●The holes in the rice cooker are designed to

maintain its functions and performance. In

extremely rare cases, dust or even insects may

enter these holes and cause malfunction. To

prevent this, a commercially available insect

prevention sheet, etc., is recommended. If a

malfunction does occur due to this problem, the

repair is not covered by warranty. In this case,

contact the place of purchase.

● The uorocarbon resin coating on the inner

pot may wear and peel with extended use. It is

harmless to humans and does not interfere with

actual cooking or the heat insulating capability of

the rice cooker.

If deformation or corrosion is found on the inner

pot, a new inner pot may be purchased. Contact

the place of purchase.

●Strictly observe the following instructions to

keep the uorocarbon resin coating of the inner

pot from becoming scratched, deformed, or

peeling.

Tips on making delicious rice

Select quality rice and a good storage

location.

• Choose freshly polished, glossy rice with a

uniform grain size.

• Store rice in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place.

Carefully measure the rice using the

supplied measuring cup.

1 cup (level lling) is

approximately 0.18 L.

Use the supplied

measuring cup for

rinse-free rice as well.

Rinse the rice quickly.

Pour rice in the inner pot and add plenty of water.

Lightly stir the rice and discard the water quickly.

Use cold water and quickly rinse the rice by hand

so that the rice does not absorb the starchy water.

Cooking rinse-free rice

• Add rinse-free rice and water, and then stir well

from the bottom so that every individual grain

of rice becomes immersed in the water. Merely

adding water to the rice prevents it from soaking

in the water and may cause improperly cooked

rice.

• If the added water turns white, we recommend

you rinse the rice thoroughly by replacing the

water once or twice. The water turning white

is due to starch in the rice and not its bran.

However, cooking the rice with the starch left in

the water may lead to burned rice, the contents

boiling over, or improperly cooked rice.

Adding other ingredients to rice

The total amount of ingredients should be no

more than approximately 70 g per cup of rice. Mix

seasonings well and then add other ingredients

on top of the rice. If other ingredients are to be

added to the rice, be sure to use no more than

the acceptable maximum amount (see the table

below).

Menu 1.0 L

(5.5-cup) type

1.8 L

(10-cup) type

Mixed 3 cups 6 cups

Sweet 3 cups 5 cups

Brown 3 cups 5 cups

• Do not open the lid during cooking to add other

ingredients.

• Add water prior to adding the ingredients.

Adding water after the ingredients results in the

cooked rice being too rm.

• The following cases may result in improperly

cooked or burned rice.

• When too much of seasonings such as soy

sauce, sweet cooking rice wine, etc. are

added

• When seasonings are settled at the bottom

• When ketchup or tomato sauce is added

• When other ingredients are mixed with rice

• When adding ingredients to porridge, add

water to the rice so that the water level after the

ingredients are added is not over the top line for

porridge.

Add water according to the type of rice

and your personal preference.

Amount of water to add

If adding more or less water than the

recommended amount, do not deviate from that

amount by any more than 1/3 of one line. Doing

so may cause the contents to boil over.
