Note

●Rinse-free rice can be cooked using the “Plain”, “Ultra”, “Eco”, “Quick”, “Synchro-Cooking”,

“Mixed•Sweet”, and “Porridge” menus. You can cook delicious rinse-free rice easily without being

concerned about the water amount or soaking time.

Since the bran has already been removed, rinse-free rice does not require washing. It is also good for

the environment because the water left over after rinsing the rice does not affect the rivers or ocean.

●When using the “Porridge” menu, the porridge can become pasty if kept warm for too long; serve as

soon as possible.

English

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.

This product contrives the

cooking method. It is not

necessary to use the

measuring cup for rinse-free

rice.

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 “Plain” or “Ultra” 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).

Type of rice 1.0 L (5.5-cup)

type

1.8 L (10-cup)

type

Brown 3 cups or less 5 cups or less

Mixed 4 cups or less 6 cups or less

Sweet 3 cups or less 5 cups or less

Porridge • hard 0.5 cups or less 1.5 cups or less

• Add water prior to adding the ingredients.

Adding water after the ingredients will result in

thecookedricebeingtoorm.

• Cooking it with the seasoning left in the bottom

of the rice cooker or with using ketchup or

tomato sauce may result in improperly cooked

rice.

Add water according to the type of rice

and your personal preference.

If you choose to use more or less water than the

recommended amount, do not deviate from that

amount by any more than 1/3 of one line.

“COOKBOOK”, use the “Plain” scale as a

reference.

Cooking brown rice and/or multi-grain

rice mixed in with white rice

• If the rice to be cooked includes more brown

rice and/or multi-grain rice than white rice, use

the “Brown” menu.

• If there is an equal amount of white rice and

brown rice and/or multi-grain rice, or there is

more white rice than brown rice and/or multi-

grain rice, use the “Plain” menu. (The brown

rice and/or multi-grain rice should be soaked

separately for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.)

Cooking sweet rice

When cooking sweet rice, select the “Mixed•Sweet”

menu.

Wash the rice, and then level it out so that all of

the rice is under water.

Cooking grains together with white rice

• Use the “Plain” or “Ultra” menu.

• The amount of multi-grain rice should equal

less than 20% of the volume of the white rice.

The maximum acceptable amount for the

combination of white rice and grains is 5.5 cups

with the 1.0 L type and 10 cups with the 1.8 L

type.

• The grains should be placed on top of the

white rice. Mixing them together may result in

improperly cooked food.

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.

Cooking long-grain rice

• When cooking long-grain rice, select the “Long-

grain” menu. When cooking seasoned rice with

various ingredients using long-grain rice, select

the “Mixed•Sweet” menu. Selecting any other

menu may result in the contents boiling over.

amount of rice (1 cup with the 1.0 L type, 2

cups with the 1.8 L type).

• The rice is reheated 3 times or more.

1 Stir and loosen the rice that was

being kept warm.

2 Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water

evenly over the rice.

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.

●Be careful of the following points when using the

cooking plate.

• 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

● Donotllupthecookingplatewithingredients.

shown below).

Fill ingredients up

to under the base of

the carrying handle.

●Do not allow the center hole of the inner lid to be

blocked with 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 (2-3 eggs

(medium size) for 1.0L(5.5 cup) type, 3-4 eggs

(medium size) for 1.8L(10 cup) type 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.

Note

● Ifheatingisnotsufcientwhilecookingby

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
