HOW TO USE

1 Measure rice with the measuring cup and wash in a separate bowl.

level.

• To the left of the scale are measurements in litres.

• To the right of the scale are measurements in cups.

• When adding rice to the rice cooker the same amount of water to rice

must also be added.

For example for four cupfuls of rice, four cups of water most also be

added. When the 4 cupfuls of water and 4 cupfuls of rice are added to

the pan they combined will reach the (cup) 4 marking on the inside of

the pan.

Equal amount of water to rice will result in perfect rice each time!
