How to operate

1. Wash removable pot, cover, spoon and measuring cup with water and dishwashing soap.

Let them dry.

2. For the non-stick removable pot, clean it using only a sponge or a soft cloth.

3. Once cleaned, use measuring cup to add rice into removable pot.

4. To achieve drier and fluffier rice, you must wash the uncooked rice by putting cold water

into the pot. Stir it a couple of times then drain the water.

5. Add same amount of water as the rice inside the removable pot. (Adjust the ratio of

water and rice according to your taste and type of rice.)

6. Make sure the outside of the removable pot and the surface of the heater is dry. Put the

pot inside the appliance gently to avoid spillage.

7. Place the cover on the removable pot.

8. Turn the pot sideways to make sure both the cover and pot are sitting flatly inside the

appliance.

9. Do not cover the vent hole during cooking.

10.Plug in the power cord to the wall socket and automatically the WARM indicator lights up,

an indication that the rice cooker is running.

11.Press the switch down to select COOK. Once it lights up, it means it is now cooking the

rice.

12.If rice is cooked already, the switch automatically goes up and selects WARM.

13.Keep it under WARM cycle for 15 minutes before serving the rice.

14.Use a pot holder on one hand to keep the appliance in place and use your other hand to

scoop up the cooked rice using a spoon.

15.Once you have finished taking out the cooked rice, place the cover again on the pot.

Leaving the cover on the pot keeps cooked rice from drying and discolouring.

16.After using the appliance, unplug the power cord from the wall socket.
