If the elapsed time for the Keep Warm function exceeds 12 hours,
the display shows “-“.

• Do not keep rice warm for more than 12 hours as rice may develop
an odor, turn yellow, or dry out.
• Do not use the Keep Warm option for mixed rice, brown rice,
sweet rice, sprouted brown rice, or wild rice as they may begin
to deteriorate or develop an odor.
• Do not keep porridge warm, as it tends to become gluey.

TIPS FOR COOKING RICE
• Evenly distribute the rice in the bottom of the Inner Pot to ensure even cooking.
• Wash the rice thoroughly. Rinse quickly using a lot of water. Drain quickly.
Gently rinse rice 2-3 times, until water becomes clear.
• Newly harvested rice (fall season) usually requires less water for cooking than rice that has
been stored. Over time, rice has a tendency to become dehydrated, therefore more water is
needed for cooking.
Note: Some brands of rice recommend not washing the rice before cooking to retain vitamins.

• Measure water to the BROWN line on inner pot.

• For more delicious results with brown rice,
soak the rice in water for an hour or more
before cooking.
HOW TO COOK SUSHI RICE
• Use white medium grain rice for sushi.
• Sushi course cooks rice that has a less sticky
texture than normal, which is ideal for making
sushi. If the rice is sticky type, add old rice to

HOW TO COOK WITH QUICK COOKING COURSE
• Use QUICK COOKING course to cook rice quicker
than a regular course.

crust on the bottom of the inner pot.
• The rice may become softer if the rice is steamed a
little longer in the KEEP WARM mode after cooking.

for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
