Preparing the Rice

●

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 difcult

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)

For white rice

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

the water remains clear.

ATTENTION

Make sure the lter, regulator

valve, and safety valve are

clean and not clogged.

● 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.

● 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.

● Wash the washable parts immediately after cooking a mixed rice, cooking

other foods, or cooking risotto, etc.

Leaving them dirty could cause odors, spoiling, or rust.

Non-water supply auto steamer

Contact

prohibited

Caution

If there is condensation on the plate immediately after cooking

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 sufciently 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.

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.

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.)
