To start cooking the rice immediately.
(For cooking white rice and rinse-free rice)
(For cooking brown rice and glutinous rice (sticky rice))
Approx. 170 mL
(Approx. 1 Japanese cup)
For rinse-free rise
Check the lid.
Close the lid
and attach
the steam cap.
When preparations are completed, it
starts cooking the rice.
Use the measuring cup included to measure the rice.
Level out the rice, place the inner pot on a level surface, and use
the water level gauge to adjust the amount of water to match
the type and amount of rice and the cooking method.
(Water level gauge )
The rice easily
absorbs the rst
water, so discard it
right away to keep
the rice dust from
sticking to the rice.
Wash the rice
well to prevent
scorching and
a residual smell
from the rice
dust.
Close the lid slowly until you hear the latch
catch and then attach the steam cap.
Set the inner
pot into the
rice cooker.
Wipe off any water, food, etc., stuck to the outside or
bottom of the inner pot before
setting it in the rice cooker.
Fill the cup to the brim.
Measure
the rice.
Wash the rice.
Adjust the
amount of
water.
Rice Cooking Preparation (Tips for cooking delicious rice)
●
To soak the rice before cooking
(To cook the rice after letting it soak)
●
To use a timer to cook the rice
(So that cooking nishes at the time you want to eat)
Ex: When cooking 3 cups of rice for “WHITE”, “NORMAL” or “STANDARD”.
The water line is a guideline. You can adjust the amount of water for your
preference.
However, do not add water above the “SOFT” guideline. (Adding more
water than this could cause hot water spray out during cooking.)
Plug in the
power plug.
● Swill the rinse-free rice
from the bottom and
rinse it if water is cloudy.
(Cloudy water might
cause the rice not to
cook well.)
● When cooking the
rinse-free rice, use the
measuring cup for
rinse-free rice (green).

Before cooking, remove the inner lid and the other plate to
make sure no rice or other debris is stuck in the regulator and
safety valves. In addition, do not forget to install the lter and
plate.
(Forgetting to do so could result in hot water spraying out or
the lid opening suddenly.)
The selected rice
cooking method and
the current time are
displayed.
Remove
any food,
etc.
To attach the steam cap,
align it with the
depressions in the lid and
press down on the front
center of the
steam cap until
it stops.
● When closing the lid, push down slowly on the front center
of the lid (front side) until you hear the latch catch. (Failure
to observe this precaution could cause the lid to open
suddenly resulting in burns.)
● Be sure to attach the steam cap. (Doing this incorrectly
could result in hot water or steam spraying out)
Steam
vent
Steam cap
When washing the rice in the inner pot, do not use a metal whisk
or other tool. (Such tools could scrape off the uorine coating.)
Do not use commercially available measuring cup or
measuring rice bin. (The amount of rice may differ.)
You may hear a zapping sound or see sparks y when plugging in the power
plug,
but this is due to the charging of the inverter circuit and is not a
malfunction.
Do not set the inner pot in the rice cooker with water or
food stuck to the outside of it. (Failure to observe this
precaution could cause the rice cooker to fail or keep it
from cooking well.)
P. 7
●The pressurized rice
cookers have a strong
seal making it difcult
for air to escape, and
this might prevent the
lid from closing if it is
closed quickly. Close
the lid slowly.
●The lid will not close
if the non-water
supply auto steamer
is not attached.
Wipe off any water or
food on the outside.
● Do not use hot water. (It will make the rice sticky.)
● Cooking with hard water could cause the rice to become
sticky or turn yellow. Also, cooking the rice in hard water
(mineral water, etc.) could cause the rice to become crunchy
or hard. Adjust the amount of water for your preference.
● When cooking freshly harvested rice, as a guide, make a
small adjustment to the water level on the “HARD” water
gauge. Cooking freshly harvested rice with too much water
will make it sticky.
Approx. 180 mL
(Approx. 1 Japanese cup)

ATTENTION
Firstly, swill the rice in a large
quantity of water to wash it and
then pour off the water right away.
Repeat this step until

When using a store-bought avoring for mixed rice, place the other ingredients on the top of the rice without stirring them in.
● If you are cooking a thin porridge, do not add water more than the water level line for “PORRIDGE”, but reduce the
amount of rice.
● The amount of steam emitted differs depending on the cooking method.
*The cooking time guide is for a voltage of 220VAC, room temperature of 20°C, and a water temperature of 18°C.
*The cooking time will differ depending on the voltage, room temperature, water level, type of rice, etc.
● The time until cooking is completed is calculated by the rice cooking function, taking into account the previous
cooking times, water temperature, etc.
● If the rice cooker is warm, the time until cooking is completed might not be displayed.
● The time until cooking is completed might move up or stop during cooking. This is due to adjustments being made
to make the rice taste better.
● For “MIX” and “PORRIDGE”, this shows the current time because the remaining cooking time changes substantially
depending on the amounts of ingredients and rice.
The remaining cooking time will be displayed a couple of minutes before the cooking is completed.
● It is difcult for the steam to escape when the rice cooker is pressurized, so
there might be condensation on the lid when opened, but it is not a
malfunction. If you are concerned about the condensation
● When the rice is nished cooking, the center of it might be a little depressed
or the rice next to the inner pot wall might be soft. This is caused by the
heat generation from the inner pot itself due to the IH heating and this is
done to ensure the rice is cooked well.
● If the rice is not stirred after cooking, the extra steam could be absorbed
making the rice sticky and causing it to stick together.

Depending on the rice type, keeping the rice warm could cause it to lose its
quality, smell unusual, or become sticky. Therefore, follow the instruction in the
table below for Keep Warm.
The example shows when “WHITE”
and “NORMAL” are selected.
● For “WARM” (lower temperature), warming will continue for 40
hours or less, and for “WARM HI” (higher temperature),
warming will continue for 12 hours or less.

the Keep Warm function, a
buzzer will sound and
reheating will not be possible.
●
To stop before reheating is
completed, press the
“CANCEL” button.
● Stir the rice occasionally during
Keep Warm.
● When only a little rice is left, keep
it in the center of the inner pot as
much as possible.

●
Keep the Keep Warm time short. Do not keep warm for more
than 40 hours for “WARM” or 12 hours for “WARM HI”.
(It could cause the rice to smell unusual or change color.)
● Do not warm rice that was cooked without being washed
well, do not leave the rice scoop in the rice when keeping
it warm, and do not warm rice that has become cold.
● Rice can also be served deliciously by wrapping it in
plastic wrap and storing it in the freezer, and warming it in
a microwave oven later.

● The uorine coating on the inside will wear out with use, so treat it carefully.
● The uorine coating is not harmful to humans.
● The surface rusts easily if moisture is left on it. Promptly wipe off moisture.
● Do not wipe the outside with paper towels, etc. Due to the rough surface on the outside, pieces of
the paper towels may remain on it.
● A special “thermal sprayed thick iron pot” has been used to achieve the excellent cooking and heating
performance of the inner pot.
This special fabrication method makes the inner pot slightly heavy and the outside rough. It could rub on the rice
cooker when removing it from or placing it in the rice cooker and cause plastic powder to stick to the inner pot, but this
is not a problem for use. Wipe the powder off with a sponge. In addition, pressing hard on the bottom of the inner pot
when it is sitting in a sink could scratch the sink, so be careful.
The inner lid is made of stainless steel, but it can rust due to the residual iron and chloride in the moisture.
Wash the inner lid clean and wipe the moisture off after use. Separate the inner lid and plate to let them dry naturally.
● Directly apply a cream (liquid) cleanser or apply the cleanser to a soft
sponge or paper towel and rub off the rust.
● When nished, thoroughly wash the inner lid.
● Sometimes the rust cannot be completely removed, so take good care of
the rice cooker to prevent rusting.

Caution
If there is condensation on the plate immediately after cooking
1
The non-water supply auto steamer collects the steam during cooking as distilled water and emits it as steam during cooking,
warming, and reheating to bring out the taste of the rice and keep it moist. (There is no need to add water.)
● The amount of water that collects in the non-water supply auto steamer differs depending on the menu, amount of rice being cooked, the
amount of adjustment of the water level, etc.
● When 1 mL of water in the non-water supply auto steamer has evaporated, it creates approximately 1600 mL of steam. During steaming the
vent is closed to trap the steam and sufciently ll the inner pot with steam.
● If the plate is not attached, the humidifying effect of the steam will not be obtained.
● After cooking (steaming) is nished and during Keep Warm, the rice is kept moist by the steam, so condensation also forms on the surface of
the non-water supply auto steamer, but this is not a malfunction. In addition, when the lid is opened, the condensation runs down into the
condensation holding areas. This condensation has no effect on the quality of the rice during cooking or Keep Warm, but if it concerns you,
you can wipe it off with a cloth.
● Remove and wash the inner lid and plate each time after cooking.
(To prevent food debris on these parts from drying and discoloring.) (To prevent too much water from collecting and getting on the rice when
not keeping it warm.)
● To care for the rice cooker, wait for it to cool down and then use a sponge or soft cloth, etc. to wipe it. Do not use a scrubber made of plastic
or other material.
(Using a scrubber could scratch the uorine coating.)
● Wait for the inner lid to cool before
removing it.
● Wait for the plate to cool before removing it.
(Hot water could drip from it.)
● Do not touch hot components, such as
the inner pot, inner lid, plate, or steam cap
during or immediately after use.

● Measure the rice by using the measuring cup provided and do not exceed the amount of
rice that can be cooked for the particular cooking method.
● When the rice is soft, reduce the amount of water, and when the rice is hard, increase the
amount of water.
● Reduce the amount of water when using the timer.
(This prevents the rice from becoming too soft because it absorbs too much water.)
● Wash the rice with cold water but not warm or hot water. (It will make the rice sticky.)
● Cooking with water with high alkalinity could cause the rice to become sticky or turn yellow.
Also, cooking the rice in hard water (mineral water, etc.) could cause the rice to become
crunchy or hard. Adjust the amount of water for your preference.
● Remove any debris.
● If cooking is interrupted because the “CANCEL” button was pressed, the power cord was
unplugged, there was a power outage, etc., the rice might not be cooked properly thereafter.
● Using an extension cord or simultaneously plugging other electric devices into the same
power outlet could cause the voltage to drop and prevent the rice from cooking properly.
Do not use an extension cord and only plug the rice cooker into the power outlet.

● Measure the rice using the measuring cup provided.
Amount of rice and adjusting the amount of water
Steam may rush out from the steam cap during cooking. This is to allow
pressure to escape, so it is not a malfunction.
Steam is trapped in the rice cooker under pressure, so keep your hands
and face away from the steam vents during cooking.
●
Steam may spray out during cooking depending on the cooking method.
● Steam will rush out if the cooker is moved during cooking.
When using the rice cooker close to a wall, furniture, or a kitchen
storage shelf, make sure the released steam will not be trapped.
Washing the rice
Dirty or clogged parts
●
Do not forget to attach the steam cap, plate, and inner lid before cooking the rice.
Attaching parts
●
Mistakenly using another cooking method for “RISOTTO”, which requires a large amount of
water, or using another rice cooking method for “PORRIDGE”, is dangerous because it
could cause a large amount of hot water to spray out.
Check the cooking method
This rice cooker uses IH heating to heat the inner pot and create good
convection currents in the cooking rice, which could cause the center of the rice
to swell up or the rice touching the inner pot to look white. This is not a
malfunction.
The thin film that forms is the savory flavor emitted from the rice and is formed
from starch. Cooking at high temperature produces a large quantity of savory
flavor. This is not a malfunction.
● Add the seasoning to the water and adjust the water level and stir to prevent the seasoning
from settling to the bottom.
● Place the other ingredients on top of the rice after the water level has been adjusted and
mix them into the rice after the rice has nished cooking.
(If the seasoning or other ingredients sink to the bottom, the heat could not be distributed
well within the rice cooking.)
Adding seasoning and other ingredients
● The proper amount of other ingredients is about 30 to 50% of the amount of rice. Use a
small amount of ingredients when they are oily.
● Use a lesser amount for tamari soy sauce.
Amount of seasoning and other ingredients
● Cook immediately without using the timer or soaking settings.
(The quality of the added ingredients could decline or they could sink into the rice.)
Cooking method
●
In case of white rice, wash it until the water stays clear.

The time set for the timer is the time when the rice is scheduled to finish cooking. Cooking
will begin immediately when the set time is close to the current time. In addition, it takes
time to cook the rice, so sometimes the rice does not finish cooking by the set time.
Check the current time of the clock and adjust it if it is incorrect (The clock uses 24-hour
time). The soaking time is not the time to be scheduled to finish rice cooking (It is the
amount of time the rice will be soaked for).
The following sounds are generated by the rice cooker during cooking and Keep

Troubleshooting - continued
The lid might feel stiff when closing it (after stirring cooked rice, etc.) because
the lid is designed to provide a good seal during pressure cooking. Close it
slowly while applying a little more pressure.
The gap increases when pressure is applied. This is not a malfunction.
There is strong seal, so it may take a little time for the lid to open after
the hook button is pressed.
● The lid will not close using normal force when the non-water supply auto steamer has not
been attached. The lid might close if excessive force is used.
(This is to prevent you from forgetting to attach the non-water supply auto steamer.)
Non-water supply auto steamer attachment
Pressure is applied during cooking, so the hook button is locked to keep the lid from
opening. Do not force it open. If you must open it at this time, refer to
Inner lid parts are dirty
Inner lid deformation
The melody can be switched between a quieter melody and a buzzer.
The rice cooker could cause noise interference to televisions or radios if placed
close to them. If this bothers you, move the rice cooker further away. (About 3
meters as a guideline)
P.30, 31
The color of the fluorine coating may become uneven with use. This is not a
malfunction. It also has no effect on performance or cleanliness.
Observe the following to avoid scratching the fluorine coating.
“Do not use a metal ladle, whisk, etc.” “Do not wash spoons, rice bowls, etc., inside the inner pot.” “Do not use
vinegar” “Do not wash with a polishing powder or a scrubber” “Use the rice scoop provided”
