* When using the “Porridge” menu or “Sweet” menu, rice is cooked without pressure.
* When using the “Eco” menu, a large amount of condensation may be formed on the inner lid.
Note
●In pressure cooking, attention should be paid to any rapid increase in the amount of steam as the
pressure is adjusted during cooking.
Keeping rice warm
You may select whether or not to keep rice warm
after cooking is completed. (See P.18, 26.)
When using the “Porridge” menu, porridge can
become pasty if kept warm for too long. Serve it as
soon as possible.
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 presoaking.
● As the “Quick” and “Rapid <
= 1 Cup” menus do
not have a soaking process and cooking starts
immediately, the cooking time is shorter.
●The soaking time can be set by using the Soak
Timer function. (See P.24.)
Timer function
You can select either “Timer” or “Soak Timer”.
• Timer: You can preset the time that you want
cooking to be actually completed. (See P.22.)

Tips on making delicious rice
Select good quality 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 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.
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.

• When cooking rinse-free rice, use the “Plain”
scale as a reference but add a little extra water
(until it just covers the corresponding line).
• When cooking germinated brown rice, whole
rice, semi-polished rice, barley, or multigrain
rice, use the “Plain” scale as a reference.
• If the amount of water to add is specied on a
package of barley, germinated brown rice, or
mixed grains, follow those directions and add
water according to your personal preference.
Cooking germinated brown rice, whole
rice, and semi-polished rice
Select the “Multigrain” menu.
Read P.16 to P.17 for preparations
before cooking rice and P.18 to 25 for
how to cook rice.
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).

Brown 1 cup
Sweet 2 cups
Mixed 3 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 in the inner pot.
∙ 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

● Always use the specied volume of rice (see
“Specications” on P.53). Otherwise rice may
not be cooked properly.
If other ingredients are to be added to the rice,
see P.15.
●Do not mix in amaranth or other small grains
that may cause clogging. Doing so may cause a
clogged pressure adjusting holes or safety valve,
which may lead to steam leaks or boiling over,
resulting in burns or other injuries.
2 Rinse the rice. (Rice can be
rinsed in the inner pot.)
For rinse-free rice, see P.14.
Note
●Do not use hot water (over 35°C) to rinse the rice
or when adding water. It may prevent the rice
from cooking properly.
3 Adjust the water level.
Place the inner pot on a level surface and
adjust the water level to the appropriate line
of the corresponding scale on the inside of
the pot.
Tips
●The water level should be selected according
to the type of rice and the selected cooking
menu, but can be ne-adjusted to your personal
preference. (See the guidelines on P.14.)
When cooking 2
cups of white rice,
adjust the water
level to line “2” on

You can prepare the following dishes with ease.
Refer to the recipes listed in “Menu guide” (P.51)
for directions.
“Slow Cook” 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.
“Soup” menu
Soup is brought to boiling and the heat is then
lowered slightly.
Menu examples
Vegetable and chicken pot-au-feu, Braised Pork
→See Menu guide (P.51).
Unsuitable dishes
• Thickened foods such as curry sauce, stew, jam,
etc.
• Using baking soda or such other agent that
causes sudden foaming
• Recipes in commercially available cookbooks for
rice cookers
• Heating ingredients or seasoning in a plastic bag,
etc.
• Using unpeeled tomatoes or leafy vegetables that
may cause a clogged pressure adjusting holes
• Using parchment paper, aluminum foil, or
plastic wrap that may cause a clogged pressure
adjusting holes
• Fish paste, beans (to be simmered), and noodles
that expand in volume
• Using a lot of oil
Note
●Caution should be exercised when making dishes
other than those described in “Menu guide”, as
they may boil over or 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.
