Brown crisp rice
* Dark brown crisp rice may be formed when
cooking rinse-free rice. If this is not desired, rinse
the rice thoroughly by replacing the water once or
twice before cooking.
* Dark brown crisp rice may be formed when
cooking rice using the “Sweet•Mixed”,
“Multigrain”, or “Brown” menu or cooking
germinated brown rice, whole rice, or semi-
polished rice.
Soaking rice
* Since the soaking time is included in the cooking
time for each menu (the “Quick” and “Rapid <
= 1
Cup” menus are excluded), rice can be cooked
immediately without soaking.
* As the “Quick” and “Rapid <
= 1 Cup” menus do
not have a soaking process and cooking starts
immediately, the cooking time is shorter.
Keeping rice warm
When using the “Porridge” menu, porridge can
become pasty if kept warm for too long. Serve it as
soon as possible.
Timer function
You can preset the time that you want cooking to
be actually completed. (See P.17.)
Rapid <
= 1 Cup
This is a menu for a small amount of rice to be
cooked quickly. The cooking time is shorter and
cooked rice is slightly hard.
Cooking capacity: 1 cup or less
Note: If cooked rice is too hard, adjusting the
steaming time can change the hardness of
cooked rice. (See P.39.)
Tips on making delicious rice
Select good quality rice rice and a good
storage location.
• Choose freshly polished, glossy rice with a
uniform grain size.
• Store rice in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place.
Carefully measure the rice with the
supplied measuring cup.
1 cup (level lling) is approximately 0.18 L.
• Use the supplied measuring cup for rinse-free
rice as well.
Rinse the rice quickly.
Pour rice in the inner pot and add plenty of water.
Lightly stir the rice and discard the water quickly.
Use cold water and quickly rinse the rice so that
the rice does not absorb the starchy water.
Cooking germinated brown rice, whole rice,
and semi-polished rice
Select the “Multigrain” menu.
Cooking rinse-free rice
• Add rinse-free rice and water, and then stir well
from the bottom so that every individual grain
of rice becomes immersed in the water. (Just
adding water to the rice does not allow the rice
to be soaked in the water and may result in
improperly cooked rice.)
• If the added water turns white, we recommend
you rinse 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 improperly cooked or burned
rice, or the contents boiling over.
Adding other ingredients to rice
The total amount of ingredients should be no
more than approximately 70 g per cup of rice.
Mix seasonings well and then add other
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).
Menu with other ingredients
added to rice
Maximum
cooking capacity
Sweet•Mixed 2 cups
Brown 1 cup
Porridge•Hard 0.5 cups
• Do not open the lid during cooking to add other
ingredients.
• Add water prior to adding the ingredients.
Adding water after the ingredients results in the
cooked rice being too rm.
• The following cases may result in improperly
cooked or burned rice.
• When too much of seasonings such as soy
sauce, sweet cooking rice wine, etc. are
added
• When seasonings have sunk to the bottom
• When ketchup or tomato sauce is added
• When other ingredients are mixed with rice
• When adding ingredients to porridge, add
water to the rice so that the water level after the
ingredients are added is not over the top line of
the “Porridge” scale.
Amount of water to add
Use the corresponding scale on the inner pot as a
guide. Add water according to the type of rice and
your personal preference. If adding more or less
water than the recommended amount, do not deviate
from that amount by any more than 1/3 of one line.
Doing so may cause the contents to boil over, etc.

rice
• If the rice to be cooked includes more brown
rice than white rice, select the “Brown” menu.
• If there is an equal amount of brown rice and
white rice, or there is more white rice than brown
rice, select the “Plain” menu. (Soak the brown
rice separately for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.)
Cooking other grains together with brown
rice

“Slow Cook•Soup” menu
Food is rst brought to near boiling and the heat
is then lowered for simmering. The temperature is
then lowered even further to continue simmering.
By gradually lowering the heating temperature in
this way, avors are enhanced and the liquids do
not boil down even when heated for a long period of
time.
Simmered dishes and easy and quick dishes that
can be ready in 15 minutes can be cooked.
Menu examples
• Simmered dishes: Vegetable and chicken pot-au-
feu, Simmered Pork Shoulder and Lentils
• Quick dish: Noodles with mixed vegetables and
starch sauce
→ See “Menu guide” (
P.44 to 45
).
Note
●Caution should be exercised when making dishes
other than those described in “Menu guide” and
the recipes on the website, as they may boil over
or dishes may not be cooked properly.
●Stir well before cooking to prevent seasonings
from settling at the bottom of the inner pot.
●When simmering foods in broth, cool the broth
before cooking.
●When using starch, add it at the end of cooking.
● Adjust the amount of paste products such as sh
paste cakes as they expand with heat.
●Some ingredients such as milk and soymilk
can boil over easily. Add them after heating
is completed and heat them no more than 5
minutes at a time. Adding these ingredients at the
beginning may cause them to boil over.
Basic cooking procedure
1 Prepare ingredients.
2 Add the ingredients to the inner
pot and close the lid.
Note
● Use the “Plain” scale on the inside of the inner
pot as a reference. (See the table below.)
●Using more than the maximum acceptable
amount can prevent proper boiling or cause the
contents to boil over. Be careful not to use less
than the minimum required amount, as that can
also cause the contents to boil over.
●Cooking may not be performed properly if too
much ingredients are added when the cooking
time is 15 minutes or less. In that case, reheat the
ingredients.

●Always keep the inner pot and inner lid clean to prevent corrosion and odors.
●Do not clean the rice cooker or its parts using thinner, cleanser, bleach, chemically treated cloths, metal
sponges, nylon scrubbing sponges, or the like.
●Always clean each part separately.
●Do not use a dishwasher/dryer to clean the rice cooker or its parts. Doing so may cause the rice cooker
and/or its parts to become deformed or discolored.
When cleaning the rice cooker with a detergent, use only a mild detergent (for dishes
and kitchen utensils).
* Rinse the parts thoroughly since detergent remaining on them may result in deterioration and discoloration of
parts’ materials such as plastic.
* Using any detergent other than mild detergents can cause discoloration,
corrosion, etc.
Clean using a soft sponge and cloth.
Do not use the abrasive side of a heavy-duty scrubbing sponge. Doing so may damage
the uorocarbon resin coating of the inner pot.
