6. Once food has been steamed for the appropriate time, open the lid. Use caution when opening lid as steam escaping will be extremely hot. Remove the steam tray and check food to be sure it has been thoroughly cooked. Exercise caution when removing the steam tray as well; it will be hot. 7. Close the lid of the rice cooker and allow rice to continue to cook until finished. The unit will chime when rice is ready and switch to keep warm mode. The digital display will indicate the number of hours food has been warming. 8. Press ‘WARM/OFF’ to turn off the rice cooker. Always unplug the rice cooker when not in use. CAUTION: • Use caution when opening lid as steam escaping will be extremely hot. • If cooking pot is returned to cooker when wet it will damage this product, causing it to malfunction. NOTE It is possible to steam at any point during the rice cooking cycle. However, it is recommended that you steam during the end of the cycle so that steamed food does not become cold or soggy before the rice is ready. 6 COOKINGGUIDECOOKINGGUIDE HELPFUL HINTS 1. Rinse rice before placing it into the inner pot to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce browning and sticking to the bottom of the pot. 2. If you have experienced any sticking with the type of rice you are using, try adding a light coating of vegetable oil or non-stick spray to the bottom of the inner pot before adding rice. 3. This is only a general measuring guide. As there are many different kinds of rice available (see About Rice on page 13), rice/water measurements may vary slightly. 4. For softer rice, allow it to soak for 10-20 minutes prior to cooking.

Some variations may require longer cooking times and/or additional water in order to achieve optimum results. Refer to the individual package instructions for cooking suggestions. • The measuring cup included adheres to rice industry standards (180mL) and is not equal to one U.S. cup. The chart above refers to cups of rice/water according to the measuring cup provided. • Do not place more than 6 cups of uncooked rice (4 cups if brown rice) into this appliance at one time. The maximum capacity of this unit is 6 cups raw rice (4 cups if brown rice) which yields 12 cups of cooked rice (8 cups brown rice).

This table is for reference only. Possible variations in cooking times may be caused by one or more of the following factors: • Variations in the type of rice being cooked • Variations in the amount of rice and/or water in the inner pot • If you are making a second batch of rice shortly after the first batch, cooking times may be reduced because the heating element will already be warm. • Opening the lid during the cycle causes a loss of heat and steam. Cooking time may be prolonged if the lid is opened before the rice is finished. 8 COOKINGGUIDECOOKINGGUIDE VEGETABLE STEAMING CHART: VEGETABLE AMOUNT OF WATER STEAMING TIME Asparagus 1/2 Cup 10 Minutes Broccoli 1/4 Cup 5 Minutes Cabbage 1 Cup 15 Minutes Carrots 1 Cup 15 Minutes Cauliflower 1 Cup 15 Minutes Corn 1 Cup 15 Minutes Eggplant 1-1/4 Cup 20 Minutes Green Beans 1 Cup 15 Minutes Peas 1/2 Cup 10 Minutes Spinach 1/2 Cup 10 Minutes Squash 1/2 Cup 10 Minutes Zucchini 1/2 Cup 10 Minutes HELPFUL HINTS 1. Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no need to increase the amount of water with a larger serving of vegetables. 2. When steaming and cooking rice simultaneously, follow the instructions on page 7. 3. When possible, always keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process. Opening the lid causes a loss of heat and steam, resulting in a slower cooking time. If you find it necessary to open the lid, you may want to add a small amount of water to help restore the cooking time. 4. Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will affect cooking times. 5.
