1. Make sure the unit is properly assembled with Drip Tray, Outer Jacket, Rice Pot and Cover in
their proper positions. The rice should be in the pot prepared by the methods described on
page 8. If the components are not properly seated, the unit cannot operate normally.
2. Turn gas valve to “ON” position as in figure 2 below. Position the Jacket Window directly over
#1 START and #2 COOK buttons.
3. Push the left button marked #1 START down until you hear a click, then release it. This is the
ignition lever and the pilot should light. The red button marked WARM controls the pilot and
is hidden by the #1 START button when off. Pushing the #1 START button also depressed the
WARM button, exposing it. It will stay down until pushed up to extinguish the pilot. If the pilot
has not lit, repeat as necessary, If pilot fails to light, see Trouble Shooting.
4. After the pilot has lit, push Main Burner Control Button marked #2 COOK to ignite the main
burner and start cooking. The cook cycle will last approximately 22 minutes. When the cook
button jumps up to the “OFF” position, allow the rice to remain undisturbed for an additional
10 minutes to cure. The curing time allows the rice to become fluffy and improves taste.
WARNING: When igniting the pilot, position the Jacket Window directly over #1 START and #2 COOK
buttons. Do not be too close to the viewing hole when igniting.
SHUT DOWN: When removing the pot, make sure to push the red button WARM until it clicks and is hid-
den by the start button. It is then in the “OFF” position. A five minute complete shutoff period is required
before lighting or relighting pilot.
