When adjusting the amount of water to suit your
taste etc., be aware that the Warm Jar allows for a
1–5 mm adjustment for the “Eco” program and a
1–2 mm adjustment for other programs.
(
Adding too much water may prevent rice

ODo not mix brown and white rice. (The two kinds of rice will not cook properly.)
OFrom the point that the cooking starts, the Warm Jar displays the time until the rice is ready. Note that for the “Quick”,
“Brown”, “Grains” and “Mixed” settings, the Warm Jar will display the current time until 10 minutes before the rice is ready. It will
then switch to show the time until the rice is ready.
QThis is the default setting.
You can take a little more time to make sure the texture
suits your taste.
O First we recommend that you try “Regular”. You can then match the texture
with your taste or the dish you are cooking.
Texture preferences
I like fluffy rice which is sweet and a little bit sticky! “Regular”
I like a chewy texture! “Sticky”
I like a mild flavour with no stickiness (suitable for
donburi-type dishes)! “Hard”
QBalance cooking time and power consumption.
O If the cooked rice is too firm for you, use the following to make it softer.
After mixing the cooked rice, leave it in the Warm Jar for a few minutes
before serving.
Upon your next cooking, increase the amount of water (increase the Water
Level by 1 to 5 mm).
Soak the rice for a certain time before cooking it.

OBrown OGrains
Flavour can be adversely affected.
OThe Warm Jar automatically injects steam to reduce dryness and prevent odours.
• The timing of the steam injection changes according to the amount of rice, the cooking program etc.
• When steam is injected, you will hear the sound of the pump. (P.29)
« If you find the sound of the pump distracting during the keep warm state. (P.32)
Precautions ODo not use the keep warm function for more than 12 hours.
OIf you live in a region of high temperature and humidity:
Increase the keep warm temperature from 60 to 74 degrees. (P.32)
(Odour can be a problem.)
OIf the odour is a problem:
Use the cleaning function (P.26) and increase the keep warm temperature from 60 to
74 degrees. (P.32)
OTo prevent odours and condensation during the keep warm state:
Do not cancel the keep warm function or remove the Power Plug while leaving the rice in the Warm Jar.
OTo prevent odours:
Do not use the keep warm function with the Rice Scoop still in the Warm Jar.
