ASSEMBLY & COOKING
Step 1. Place the Rice Pot with rice and water into the Outer Jacket. Make sure that the Rice Pot
is level and sitting evenly in the Jacket.
Step 2: Place the lid on the Rice Pot and light the burner. To light the burner, refer to
operating instructions on page 6. Do not open lid while cooking. When the cooking is
completed, the COOK button will pop up and the main burner will automatically shut
off. Do not serve the rice yet; see instructions on the following page for curing. The pilot
keeps cooked rice hot (about 160˚F/71˚C) for four hours.
Step 3: Shut pilot off by pushing up the red keep warm button. See Shut Down instructions on
page 6.
NOTE:
The misalignment or improper setting will cause early shut off of the main burner.
SEASONING THE RICE POT
A new Rice Pot should be carefully seasoned once before use. Wash rice in the Rice Pot using tap wa-
ter. Remove the rice, leaving only the “milky” looking water in the pot. Light the pilot and initiate the
cooking process. Using ordinary water for seasoning the pot may cause discoloration but will not effect
either the unit or cooked rice.
VISUAL BURNER CHECK
When operating, burner flame should be light blue in color and should have no yellow tips or lifting
from the burner. The air/gas mixture adjusted by moving the air shutter arm under the unit below the
main gas valve.
