Names and Functions of Component Parts
Following these safety instructions
will allow the appliance to be used
for many years.
●Remove any burnt rice or remaining grains of rice.
Failure to do so may cause steam to leak
or contents to boil over. This may result in
malfunction or improperly cooked rice.
●Do not cover the rice cooker with a cloth or other
object during cooking.
Doing so may cause the rice cooker or the lid to
become deformed or discolored.
●The holes on the rice cooker are designed to
maintain its functions and performance. In
extremely rare cases, dust or even insects may
enter these holes and cause malfunction. To
prevent this, a commercially available insect
prevention sheet, etc., is recommended. If a
malfunction does occur due to this problem, it will
not be covered by warranty. Contact the place of
purchase.
● Theinnerpot'suorocarbonresincoatingmay
wear and peel with extended use. This material is
harmless to humans and this situation presents no
hindrance to actual cooking or to the rice cooker’s
heat insulating capability. In the case you would
like to purchase a new inner pan, you can do so
by contacting the place of purchase..
●Strictly observe the following instructions
tokeeptheuorocarbonresincoatingfrom

Cooking sweet rice
When cooking sweet rice, select the “Sweet•Mixed”
menu.
Wash the rice, and then level it out so that all of
the rice is under water.
Cooking grains together with white rice
• The amount of grains should equal less than
20% of the volume of the white rice.
• The grains should be placed on top of the
white rice. Mixing them together may result in
improperly cooked food.
• If you feel the cooked grains are too hard, soak
the grains separately for about 1 hour prior to
cooking.
Cooking grains together with brown rice
• Always use the “Brown” menu.
• The maximum acceptable amount for the
combination of brown rice and grains is 3.5
cups with the 1.0 L type and 6 cups with the 1.8
L type.
Tips on making delicious rice
Read p.14 to 15 for preparations
before cooking rice, and p.16 to
20 for how to cook rice.
Select high quality rice and store it in a
cool location.
Choose freshly polished, glossy rice with a uniform
grain size. Store in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place.
Carefully measure the rice with the
supplied measuring cup.
One cup equals about
0.18 L.
Use the supplied measuring
cup for rinse-free rice as well.
Wash the rice quickly.
Stir the rice around with your hand in a generous
amount of water, pour out the water, and repeat
until the water remains clear.
When cooking germinated brown rice,
whole rice or semi-polished rice, select
the “Multigrain” menu.
Cooking rinse-free rice
• Add the rinse-free rice and water, and then stir well
from the bottom so that every individual grain of rice
becomes immersed in the water.(Merely adding
water to the rice will prevent it from soaking in the
water and may result in improperly cooked rice.
• If the added water turns white, we recommend you
wash the rice thoroughly by replacing the water once
or twice. (The water turning white is due to the starch
in the rice and not its bran; however, cooking it with
the starch left in the water may result in burned rice,
the contents boiling over, or improperly cooked rice.)
Adding other ingredients to the rice
The total amount of ingredients should be no more
than 70 g per cup of rice. Stir in any seasoning well
and then add the extra ingredients on top of the rice.
If other ingredients are to be added to the rice, be
sure to use no more than the acceptable maximum
amount (refer to the table below).

white rice, or there is more white rice than
brown rice, use the “Plain” menu. (The brown
rice should be soaked separately for 1 to 2

You can use the cooking plate to cook side dishes
described in the supplied “COOKBOOK” at the same
time as you cook rice. You can also add water to the
inner pot and cook side dishes without making rice.
Refer to the supplied “COOKBOOK” for directions.
Note
●Do not cook with a greater volume of ingredients
than that indicated in the supplied “COOKBOOK”.
Doing so may cause the contents to boil over or
result in improperly cooked food.
●When cooking dishes with a strong odor, the odor
may adhere to the cooking plate.
●When cooking ingredients with a strong color,
that color may be transferred to the cooking plate
through the broth, etc.
●Do not use sharp instruments like kitchen knives,
table knives, or forks inside the cooking plate.
Precautions for ingredients to
be placed in the cooking plate
●Donotllupthecookingplatewithingredients.
●Spread or make spaces between ingredients

●Only use a small amount of liquid such as
water or sauce (it takes time to heat a large
amount of liquid).
●If milk or fresh cream is separated during
use, stir it well.
●Only use a small amount of leavening ingredients
such as pancake mix (about 1/3 of the cooking
plate). Be careful about the number of eggs
because they increase in volume (2 eggs
(medium size) for 1.0L (5.5-cup) type rice cooker,
3 eggs (medium size) for 1.8L (10-cup) type
rice cooker can be added. Adjustment may be
necessary when you add other ingredients.).
●Cut the root vegetables in thin slices as it
takes a long time to cook them.
●Using the cooking plate, only steaming is possible.
*Ifheatingisnotsufcientwhilecookingby
following the above suggestions, transfer the
ingredients to another container, and reheat
them using a device such as a microwave (do
not put the inner pot and cooking plate in the
microwave).

place them in the cooking plate.
• Stacking ingredients on top of each other
may result in the contents boiling over or in
improperly cooked food. Spread ingredients
over the whole of the cooking plate.
2 Make the necessary
preparations for cooking rice.
(See p.14.)
Note
●Refer to the following table for the acceptable
amounts of rice that can be cooked concurrently
