9 Rice Preparation (Tips for cooking delicious rice) Preparing the Rice 1 2 Measure the rice. When cooking the rinse-free rice, use the measuring c for rinse-free rice (green). Wash the rice. Use the measuring c included to measure the rice. Fill the c to the brim. 1 c to the brim with measuring c included For white rice Approx. 180 ml (Approx. 1 Japanese c) For rinse-free rise Approx. 170 ml (Approx. 1 Japanese c) Do not use commercially available measuring c or measuring rice bin. (The amount of rice may differ.) Firstly, swill the rice in a large quantity of water to wash it and then pour off the water right away. Repeat this step until the water remains clear. Preparing the Rice Cooker 4 5 Set the inner pot into the rice cooker. Check the lid. Wipe off any water, food, etc., stuck to the outside or bottom of the inner pot before Wipe off any water or setting it in the rice cooker. food on the outside. Do not set the inner pot in the rice cooker with water or food stuck to the outside of it. (Failure to observe this precaution could cause the rice cooker to fail or keep it from cooking well.) Make sure the filter, regulator valve, and safety valve are clean and not clogged. P.0, 1 Remove any food, etc. To attach the non-water sply auto steamer. P.1, 2 Swill the rinse-free rice from the bottom and rinse it if water is cloudy. (Cloudy water might cause the rice not to cook well.) Adjust the amount of water. The rice easily absorbs the first water, so discard it right away to keep the rice dust from sticking to the rice. Wash the rice well to prevent scorching and a residual smell from the rice dust. When washing the rice in the inner pot, do not use a metal whisk or other tool. (Such tools could scrape off the fluorine coating.) Level out the rice, place the inner pot on a level surface, and use the water level gauge to adjust the amount of water to match the type and amount of rice and the cooking method. (Water level gauge P.7 ) Ex: When cooking cs of rice for WHITE, NORMAL or STANDARD. 6 Close the lid and attach the steam cap. Warning Before cooking, remove the inner lid and the other plate to make sure no rice or other debris is stuck in the regulator and safety valves. In addition, do not forget to install the filter and plate. (Forgetting to do so could result in hot water spraying out or the lid opening suddenly.) Close the lid slowly until you hear the latch catch and then attach the steam cap. To attach the steam cap, align it with the depressions in the lid and press down on the front center of the steam cap until it stops. Steam vent Steam cap Zapping sound The pressurized rice cookers have a strong seal making it difficult for air to escape, and this might prevent the lid from closing if it is closed quickly. Close the lid slowly. The lid will not close if the non-water sply auto steamer is not attached. The water line is a guideline. You can adjust the amount of water for your preference. However, do not add water above the SOFT guideline. (Adding more water than this could cause hot water spray out during cooking.) Do not use hot water. (It will make the rice sticky.) with hard water could cause the rice to become sticky or turn yellow. Also, cooking the rice in hard water (eral water, etc.) could cause the rice to become crunchy or hard. Adjust the amount of water for your preference. When cooking freshly harvested rice, as a guide, make a small adjustment to the water level on the HARD water gauge. freshly harvested rice with too much water will make it sticky. 7 Plug in the power plug. Warning Note When preparations are completed, it starts cooking the rice. To start cooking the rice immediately. (For cooking white rice and rinse-free rice) P.18, 19 (For cooking brown rice and glutinous rice (sticky rice)) P.20, 21 When closing the lid, push down slowly on the front center of the lid (front side) until you hear the latch catch.

12 Rice using the Timer (Set the timer to finish cooking when you want to eat) Rice with Soaking (Soak rice before cooking it) The timer can be set to TIMER1 or TIMER2. Upon factory shipment, TIMER1 is set to 6:00 and TIMER2 is set to 18:00. The timer time is the time when the cooking will finish. If the set time is near the current time, cooking will begin right away. ( TIMER lamp does not light.) Upon factory shipment, the soaking time is set to 0 utes. This controls the temperature during soaking depending on the soaking time, and then starts cooking after the rice absorbs water sufficiently. The recommended guideline is 0 utes in summer and 60 utes in winter. Soaking cannot be combined with rice cooking timer. Do not use the timer for MIX. (The quality of the added ingredients could decline or they could sink into the rice.) As a guideline, the timer is set within 12 hours. Do not use the soaking rice cooking for MIX.

13 Warg When the cooking is completed, the rice cooker automatically switches to WARM or WARM HI, and then the STEAM WARM lamp turns on. There are two methods for Keep Warm, WARM and WARM HI. WARM This keeps rice warm at low temperature. This imizes discoloration and drying out of the rice and saves electricity. Keep the Keep Warm time under 40 hours. This keeps rice warm at high temperature. This keeps down the formation of condensation on the inside of WARM HI the lid and inner pot. Keep the Keep Warm time under 12 hours. When WARM HI is selected, the 1-2person and ECO lamps will not turn on even when the 1-2person program is selected. Keep Warm for White Rice and Rinse-Free Rice NORMAL RAPID MIX Keep Warm for Brown Rice Keep Warm for Glutinous Rice (sticky rice) NORMAL MIX PORRIDGE MIX To stop keeping the rice warm Caution Do not keep the rice warm in the following manners. It could cause the rice to smell unusual or change color. Do not keep warm for more than Keep Warm time. When the cooking is completed, the rice cooker automatically switches to Keep Warm. The WARM or WARM HI lamp lights. The STEAM WARM lamp lights. Depending on the rice type, keeping the rice warm could cause it to lose its quality, smell unusual, or become sticky. Therefore, follow the instruction in the table below for Keep Warm. Types of cooked rice that can be kept warm For WARM (lower temperature), warg will continue for 40 hours or less, and for WARM HI (higher temperature), warg will continue for 12 hours or less. The example shows when WHITE and NORMAL are selected. PORRIDGE Do not keep warm. (Keeping the rice warm could cause it to lose its quality, smell unusual or become sticky.) Do not keep warm.

To attach the steam cap, align it with the depressions in the lid and press down on the front center of the steam cap until it stops. Remove the steam cap from the rice cooker and use dishwashing detergent (ph-neutral) and a sponge or other soft material to wash the steam cap. If the inner pot is deformed, the rice might not cook well. Handle the inner pot carefully. The inner pot color might become uneven with use, but this will not affect performance or cleanliness. Observe the following to avoid scratching the fluorine coating on the inside. The fluorine coating on the inside will wear out with use, so treat it carefully. The fluorine coating is not harmful to humans. The surface rusts easily if moisture is left on it. Promptly wipe off moisture. Do not wipe the outside with paper towels, etc. Due to the rough surface on the outside, pieces of the paper towels may remain on it. A special thermal sprayed thick iron pot has been used to achieve the excellent cooking and heating performance of the inner pot. This special fabrication method makes the inner pot slightly heavy and the outside rough. It could rub on the rice cooker when removing it from or placing it in the rice cooker and cause plastic powder to stick to the inner pot, but this is not a problem for use. Wipe the powder off with a sponge. In addition, pressing hard on the bottom of the inner pot when it is sitting in a sink could scratch the sink, so be careful. If there are odors The inner lid is made of stainless steel, but it can rust due to the residual iron and chloride in the moisture. Wash the inner lid clean and wipe the moisture off after use. Separate the inner lid and plate to let them dry naturally. If rusting occurs Directly apply a cream (liquid) cleanser or apply the cleanser to a soft sponge or paper towel and rub off the rust. When finished, thoroughly wash the inner lid. Sometimes the rust cannot be completely removed, so take good care of the rice cooker to prevent rusting. using spices Wash the washable parts immediately after cooking a mixed rice, cooking other foods, or cooking risotto, etc. Leaving them dirty could cause odors, spoiling, or rust. The melody (buzzer) will sound and the COOK lamp will turn on. Turns off Plate Inner lid If there are odors after cooking a mixed rice, risotto, or foods, or keeping rice warm, you can boil water and use the steam from it to reduce the smell.

After pressing, set the heating time to 60. Press. The melody (buzzer) sounds and heating ends. The COOK lamp turns off. After the rice cooker cools down, discard the hot water and wipe the moisture from the inner pot. If the odor is still a concern 1. Place saltwater (approx. 1%) in a pot or fry pan that is large enough to hold the inner lid and other plate and boil the water. 2. When the water begins boiling, put the burner on low and heat the inner lid and other plate for 15 utes.. Discard the hot water and wait for the inner lid and other plate to cool before washing them. while the rice cooker is empty could cause the plastic parts to deform, so be careful. The menu that was selected last time flashes and the time that was set lights. Pressure is generated when using a cooking method or cooking menu other than or STEAM, and this could cause hot water to spray out. (Failure to observe this precaution could result in burns.) Immediately after cooking is finished the inner pot and inner lid are hot, so wait for the rice cooker to cool down before discarding the hot water and wiping off the moisture. Some odors cannot be completely removed

16 Cleaning and Maintenance - continued Non-water sply auto steamer [Plate and Inner Lid] (Wash after each use) The non-water sply auto steamer is assembled with the inner lid and other plate. Remove the steam cap from the lid and use dishwashing detergent (ph-neutral) and a sponge or other soft material to wash the steam cap. 1 Remove the non-water sply auto steamer from the lid. Hold the lid knob while pushing the release lever and then remove the non-water sply auto steamer. 4 Wash the plate to clean and unclog it. Wash the inner lid to clean and unclog it. Regulator valve (Check before cooking) Clean the back of the regulator valve. Also remove the filter and wash the front of the regulator valve. When the valve is clogged with debris, use a cotton swab or similar item to unclog it. Inner lid and lid packing (Wash after each use) Wash these together. The lid packing is not detachable, so do not pull it. If it is deformed, the pressure cannot be sustained and the rice will not cook well. 5 Attach the other plate to the inner lid. Do not install the plate side down. 1. Insert the bottom hook of the plate into the bottom guide at the bottom of the inner lid. 2. Align the hook at the top of the plate with the top guide and press the plate in until you hear it lock in place.

As filter parts are very small, try not to lose them when removing. How to remove the filter Turn the filter counterclockwise and pull it forward. How to install the filter Remove Align the filter with the mark, insert it, and turn it clockwise until it locks in place and stops. When installing the filter, align it with the mark, and push it clockwise until it stops. Install This is not removable, so do not pull it. If it is deformed, the pressure cannot be sustained and the rice will not cook well. 6 Bottom guide Install the non-water sply auto steamer into the lid. 1. Orient the lid packing to the front and insert the hooks on both sides into the groove. If only the hook on one side is inserted, that hook could be damaged when the inner lid is closed. Grooves Plate Lever Inner lid The packing attached to the plate is not removed, so do not pull on it. If the packing is deformed, it will reduce the amount of water that collects in the plate. Safety valve (Check before cooking) If the safety valve (in the center) is clogged with rice or debris, use a cotton swab or similar item to unclog it. Use a cotton swab, etc. to press on the center of the safety valve 2 or times to confirm that it moves. Note Do not remove the lid packing, regulator valve, safety valve, or vacuum valve from the inner lid. Steam sensor and pressure regulator Do not push on, pull on, or apply excessive force to the pressure regulator. Failure to observe this precaution could cause the rubber part to come loose or tear, or damage the device. 2. While pushing the release lever, insert the top side of the inner lid.. Lower the release lever. To prevent cooking when you have forgotten to install the non-water sply auto steamer, the lid will not close with a moderate force. (The lid closes when there is no inner pot.)

17 Non-water sply auto steamer Troubleshooting Please check the following points before calling for service. The non-water sply auto steamer collects the steam during cooking as distilled water and emits it as steam during cooking, warg, and reheating to bring out the taste of the rice and keep it moist. (There is no need to add water.) Condensation holding areas Plate Inner lid Contact prohibited Caution The amount of water that collects in the non-water sply auto steamer differs depending on the menu, amount of rice being cooked, the amount of adjustment of the water level, etc. When 1 ml of water in the non-water sply auto steamer has evaporated, it creates approximately 1600 ml of steam. During steag the vent is closed to trap the steam and sufficiently fill the inner pot with steam. If the plate is not attached, the humidifying effect of the steam will not be obtained. After cooking (steag) is finished and during Keep Warm, the rice is kept moist by the steam, so condensation also forms on the surface of the non-water sply auto steamer, but this is not a malfunction. In addition, when the lid is opened, the condensation runs down into the condensation holding areas. This condensation has no effect on the quality of the rice during cooking or Keep Warm, but if it concerns you, you can wipe it off with a cloth. Remove and wash the inner lid and plate each time after cooking. (To prevent food debris on these parts from drying and discoloring.) (To prevent too much water from collecting and getting on the rice when not keeping it warm.) To care for the rice cooker, wait for it to cool down and then use a sponge or soft cloth, etc. to wipe it. Do not use a scrubber made of plastic or other material. (Using a scrubber could scratch the fluorine coating.) If there is condensation on the plate immediately after cooking Wait for the inner lid to cool before removing it. Wait for the plate to cool before removing it. (Hot water could drip from it.) Do not touch hot components, such as the inner pot, inner lid, plate, or steam cap during or immediately after use. Condensation collects on the inner lid and other plate immediately after cooking to keep the surface of the rice from drying. If the condensation concerns you, increase the steag time and switch to a mode that reduces the condensation. Once the mode is switched, the setting is remembered until you switch back to the original mode. Press to make flash. Press to make STEAM flash. Continue pressing for 5 seconds. The switch over is completed when the buzzer sounds and is displayed for 2 seconds. Press. Pressing it again will switch back to the original mode. In this case, is displayed. The menu that was selected last time flashes and the time that was set lights. When switching to a mode that reduces the condensation Approximately 5 more utes will be required for cooking. It will reduce the amount of water that collects in the plate. The rice cooker is pressurized and has strong seal, so there will be some condensation even when switching to a mode that reduces the condensation. Rice If This Happens Soft Sticky Hard Hard core Watery and not fully cooked Uneven cooking Scorching Amount of rice and adjusting the amount of water Check This P.16, 19, 21 Measure the rice by using the measuring c provided and do not exceed the amount of rice that can be cooked for the particular cooking method. When the rice is soft, reduce the amount of water, and when the rice is hard, increase the amount of water. Reduce the amount of water when using the timer. (This prevents the rice from becog too soft because it absorbs too much water.) Washing the rice P.16 In case of white rice, wash it until the water stays clear. In case of rinse-free rice, wash the rice if the water is cloudy, and then swill the rice to let the rice and water sit for a while. Water used to wash and cook the rice P.16 Wash the rice with cold water but not warm or hot water. (It will make the rice sticky.) with water with high alkalinity could cause the rice to become sticky or turn yellow. Also, cooking the rice in hard water (eral water, etc.) could cause the rice to become crunchy or hard. Adjust the amount of water for your preference. Stirring the rice Stir the rice as soon as it finishes cooking. (This prevents the excess steam from making the rice sticky or making it smelly.) The bottom of the inner pot or the temperature sensor is dirty Remove any debris. Interrting cooking P.27, 28 P.18, 20 If cooking is interrted because the CANCEL button was pressed, the power cord was unplugged, there was a power outage, etc., the rice might not be cooked properly thereafter. Power sply Using an extension cord or simultaneously plugging other electric devices into the same power outlet could cause the voltage to drop and prevent the rice from cooking properly. Do not use an extension cord and only plug the rice cooker into the power outlet. white rice at a high temperature could cause it to be lightly browned and other rice could be scorched brown. This is not a malfunction. Washing the rice P.16 In case of white rice, wash it until the water stays clear. In case of rinse-free rice, wash the rice if the water is cloudy, and then swill the rice to let the rice and water sit for a while. The bottom of the inner pot or the temperature sensor is dirty P.27, 28 Remove any debris. Check the cooking method. If the rice is cooked without selecting the 1-2person program when cooking a small amount of rice ( to 2 cs), the rice may be cooked for a longer time which could lightly brown the bottom of the rice. Select the 1-2person program when cooking a small amount of rice. 2

When making Okowa (sticky rice), mix together 0.5 c of white rice (uruchi rice) for every c of glutinous rice. (Do not cook just glutinous rice.) P.21 Amount of stock Add enough stock to just cover the rice and other ingredients. How to add eggs Beat the eggs and then pour them over the entire surface of the cooked risotto. Soaking and cooking are completed automatically, so more time is required than when cooking with a rice cooker that does not have a microcomputer (gas rice cooker). This is not a malfunction. Amount of rice and adjusting the amount of water P.16, 19, 21 Measure the rice by using the measuring c provided and do not exceed the amount of rice that can be cooked for the particular cooking method. Steam may or may not be emitted depending on the cooking method. The center of the rice swells. A thin film forms. Attaching parts P.28-1 Do not forget to attach the steam cap, plate, and inner lid before cooking the rice. Check the cooking method Mistakenly using another cooking method for RISOTTO, which requires a large amount of water, or using another rice cooking method for PORRIDGE, is dangerous because it could cause a large amount of hot water to spray out. Steam is trapped in the rice cooker under pressure, so keep your hands and face away from the steam vents during cooking. Steam may spray out during cooking depending on the cooking method. Steam will rush out if the cooker is moved during cooking. When using the rice cooker close to a wall, furniture, or a kitchen storage shelf, make sure the released steam will not be trapped. This rice cooker uses IH heating to heat the inner pot and create good convection currents in the cooking rice, which could cause the center of the rice to swell or the rice touching the inner pot to look white. This is not a malfunction. The thin film that forms is the savory flavor emitted from the rice and is formed from starch. at high temperature produces a large quantity of savory flavor. This is not a malfunction. The rice, inner pot, etc., smells abnormal. Washing the rice P.16 In case of rinse-free rice, wash the rice if the water is cloudy, and then swill the rice to let the rice and water sit for a while. Check the cooking method. If the rice is cooked without selecting the 1-2person program when cooking a small amount of rice ( to 2 cs), the rice may be cooked for a longer time. Select the 1-2person program when cooking a small amount of rice. Interrting cooking If a power outage occurs during cooking, the cooking time will be extended by the amount of time the power was out. There may be a plastic or rubber smell when using the rice cooker for the first time. This will disappear with use. There may also be a smell after cooking mixed rice or using the rice cooker for other cooking. This is not a malfunction. Washing the rice P.16 In case of white rice, wash it until the water stays clear. In case of rinse-free rice, wash the rice if the water is cloudy, and then swill the rice to let the rice and water sit for a while. Stirring the rice P.18, 20 Mixed rice does not cook properly. Adding seasoning and other ingredients Add the seasoning to the water and adjust the water level and stir to prevent the seasoning from settling to the bottom. Place the other ingredients on top of the rice after the water level has been adjusted and mix them into the rice after the rice has finished cooking. (If the seasoning or other ingredients sink to the bottom, the heat could not be distributed well within the rice cooking.) Amount of seasoning and other ingredients The proper amount of other ingredients is about 0 to 50% of the amount of rice. Use a small amount of ingredients when they are oily. Use a lesser amount for tamari soy sauce. method P Cook immediately without using the timer or soaking settings. (The quality of the added ingredients could decline or they could sink into the rice.)
