To Cook Rice:
1. Using the measuring cup provided, measure and add rice to the pot. One level
Aroma measuring cup equals one cup on the rice/water measurement chart
included on page 7.
2. Rinse rice in the inner pot until water becomes relatively clear, then drain.
3. Using the water measurement lines inside or the measuring cup, add
appropriate amount of water.
4. Replace lid and plug power cord into outlet.
5. Press switch down to start the cooking process. The cook light will illuminate.
When rice is complete, it will automatically switch to warm mode and the warm
light will illuminate.
6. After cooking, allow rice to stand for 5-10 minutes without removing lid. This will
ensure that rice is cooked thoroughly.
To Steam Food:
1. Measure the desired amount of water into the inner pot. A convenient steaming
guide has been included on page 8.
2. Place steam tray inside rice cooker.
3. Place food in tray and press switch to cook mode. When steaming is complete,
it will automatically switch to warm mode. We recommend keeping food on
warm mode no longer than 5-10 minutes to avoid over cooking.
CAUTION:
• Do not open lid when in use as it will delay cooking time and will release hot
steam, which may cause burns.
• If cooking pot is returned to cooker when wet, it will damage this product
causing it to malfunction.
