OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wash the rice in a container other than the rice pot. You
will notice that the first wash water is nearly the color of
milk. It contains starch that makes the rice sticky. Continue
to wash until water is relatively clear.
2. Put the washed rice in the cooking pot. The water will cover
the rice by approximately 1”. Use one cup of water to each
cup of rice. The exact proportions change with the type of
rice to be cooked. Different kinds of rice absorb water at
different rates. Do not use this rice cooker to boil foods with
high acidity or alkalinity as it will damage the pot.

3. Dry pot exterior and place gently in the body, rotating it once
in position to be sure the rice pot is completely in contact with
the heating element. To ensure that the rice pot is not dented,
gently rock the pot from side to side when placed in the unit.
Be sure to keep the outside of the pot clean.
4. With the rice pot in position, plug the cord into an appropriate
wall outlet.
5. To start the rice cooker, press the “ON/OFF” button on the
front control panel. The “POWER” light and the “HOLD”
light will come on. To begin the cooking cycle press the
“PRESS TO COOK” button. The “COOK” light will come on
and the “HOLD” light will go off. To ensure evenly cooked
rice stir rice at least twice during cooking cycle.
