GETTING STARTED

This appliance is intended for household use only.

• Remove all packing material, any stickers, and the plastic band around the

power plug.

• Go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your product.

• Wash all removable parts as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING.

Place the clean, dry cooking pot in the cooking base.

• Select a location where this unit is to be used. Place the unit on a stable, heat

resistant surface, free from cloth, liquids and any other ﬂammable materials.

Ensure that the unit has enough space all the way around and above it to

allow heat to ﬂow without damage to cabinets or walls.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR

RICE COOKER

• It is not necessary to preheat the rice cooker before use.

• The cooking bowl gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or

potholders when touching any outer or inner surface of the appliance.

• During the ﬁrst few minutes of use you may notice smoke and a slight

odor. This is caused by oil that may have been used during manufacturing

of the unit and will not impact the performance.

• As rice cooks, steam will escape through vent in lid. Place glass lid on the

rice cooker so the steam vent is facing away from cabinets and walls. Do not

place hand over steam vent while rice is cooking; the hot steam may burn.

• Use the plastic serving spoon (or a wooden spoon) to stir and remove

rice. Do not use metal utensils that can scratch the nonstick cooking bowl.

• Do not ﬁll the cooking bowl higher than highest water marking measurement.

• When the rice cooker is plugged in, two dashes will blink on the display

screen, indicating that the rice cooker is on standby and ready to

program. A solid light indicates that the rice cooker is cooking.

8

• If using a Rice function to cook soups or stews, always use a kitchen

timer. Do not rely on the appliance in this function to switch to keep warm

since it is not intended to be an indicator of cooking time for soups and

stews.

OPERATING YOUR RICE COOKER

COOKING RICE

Use the brown rice setting to cook brown rice. Use the white rice setting to

cook white rice and other types of grains.

1. Measure desired amount of rice with the provided measuring cup and

add to the cooking bowl. See cooking chart in the Helpful Hints section

for rice and water ratios.

NOTE: When measuring uncooked rice; do not use a standard 1 cup (8 fluid

oz.) measuring cup. A standard rice cup is ¾ cup (6 fluid oz.); the same size

as the provided rice measuring cup. One rice cup measure of dry rice will

yield 2 standard cups of cooked rice.

2. Rinse the rice with water to remove any excess starch and then drain.

3. Fill the cooking bowl with water to the line that matches the number of

rice cups being cooked. Add butter, oil, or seasonings as desired. See the

cooking chart in the Helpful Hints section for additional details on water

and rice measures for different types of rice and grains.

NOTE: There are separate water marking lines for white and brown rice. For best

results, use the water marking lines that correspond to the rice being cooked.

4. Place the cooking pot into the cooking base and then place the lid on

the pot.

5. Plug in the appliance; the function lights and dashes on the display will

blink, indicating that the unit is in standby mode. Select the desired

rice setting by pressing the Menu button until the light to the left of the

display will start counting up the hours for up to 4 hours.

8. For best results, allow the rice to rest on warm for 15 minutes with the lid

in place. This will help further steam the rice. Always stir the rice with the

serving spoon before serving.

9. To turn the rice cooker off, press the Start/Stop button. Unplug

the appliance when not in use and always allow the rice cooker to

completely cool before cleaning.

CLEANING AND CARE

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualiﬁed

service personnel.

CLEANING

Important: Never immerse cooking base in water or other liquids.

1. Always unplug the rice cooker and allow to cool completely before cleaning.

2. Wash cooking bowl and glass lid in warm, soapy water. If food sticks to

the cooking bowl, fill with warm, soapy water and allow it to soak before

cleaning with plastic scouring pad

Note: Both the cooking bowl and glass lid are dishwasher safe.

3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. Wipe interior and exterior of the cooking base with a soft, slightly damp

cloth or sponge.

Important: Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads to clean the

cooking base, as they may damage the surfaces.

5. If water accidentally gets near the control panel or onto the heating

plate, allow the rice cooker to dry completely before using. Any other

servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Note: Both the cooking bowl and glass lid are dishwasher safe.

STORING

Make sure that the appliance is thoroughly cool and dry. Never wrap the cord

tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled. Placing the lid on upside-

down for storage can help save space.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

RICE TIPS

• If rice or other foods start to boil over, remove the lid and stir for a couple

minutes. Leaving the lid off for a short period of time will allow some of the

liquids to boil off and for the mixture to slightly cool. Place the lid back on the

rice cooker and repeat if needed. Adding a small amount (1 Tbs.) of butter or

oil to water before cooking will help prevent this issue from occurring.

• Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt. If using

kosher salt, you may ﬁnd you want to add a little more than if using table

salt. About ¾ tsp. of kosher salt is recommended for each rice cup (5 ﬂuid

oz.) of uncooked rice.

• Uncooked white rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark

place for up to one year.

• Uncooked brown rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark

place for up to six months. Refrigeration or freezing extends its shelf life.

• Try using broth, stock, or reconstituted bouillon in place of water for

additional ﬂavor. If you do, no additional salt may be necessary.

• Do not keep small amounts of rice in the warm cycle for extended periods

of time because it can dry out the rice.

12

• During cooking, a thin crust may develop on the rice at the bottom of

the bowl. If you do not like rice with a crust, you can easily peel it off and

discard it.

• Taste/hardness will vary depending on the quality/type of rice and length

of time it is cooked. For softer, ﬂufﬁer rice, add a little more water. For

ﬁrmer, crunchier rice, use less water.

• If steaming foods and cooking rice at the same time, do not cook more

than 2 standard rice cups.

• For other types of grains not listed in the cooking chart, follow package

directions.

• Do not ﬁll bowl above the highest water marking cup level on the cooking

bowl.

• If using one of the rice settings for foods other than rice and grains (for

example soups and stews), always use a kitchen timer. The automatic

keep warm function only works with rice, grains, oatmeal, and the like.

• If using one of the rice settings for foods other than rice and grains, for

best results choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less.

• To make pasta, add 6–7 cups of water to the cooking bowl and bring it to

a boil on the white rice setting. Add up to 1/2 lb. of pasta, stir, and cover.

Stir occasionally as needed. Cook until noodles have reached the desired

consistency and drain.

• When cooking oatmeal, steel cut oats work best. Never ﬁll more than half

way with liquids as the oatmeal will expand. Stir as needed throughout

the cooking process to ensure even results. If using the white rice setting,

the rice cooker will switch to keep warm when the oatmeal is well-done.

If you prefer a different consistency, simply monitor the cooking process

and stop cooking when desired consistency is reached.

ADDITIONAL USES FOR YOUR RICE COOKER

Packaged foods: condensed and ready to serve soups, pastas, and stews

• Do not ﬁll bowl above the largest water marking cup level on the

cooking bowl.

• For even heating, stir occasionally.

• If using Rice function for soups, stews, or the like, always use a kitchen timer.

Do not rely on the appliance in this function to switch to keep warm since it is

not intended to be an indicator of cooking time for soups and stews.

• If using rice settings to cook food with meats, use only boneless meats and

poultry that are cut into cubes no larger than 1½ inches. It is not necessary to

brown the meats before cooking.

• If using rice settings to cook, choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less.

• When cooking rice or pasta in the soup, add additional liquid in the recipe.

• Since most frozen vegetables cook very quickly, it is best to add them at the

end of the cooking time. Stir them into the soup or stew and allow the mixture

to cook an additional 5 to 10 minutes.

• To make pasta, add 6–7 cups of water to the cooking bowl and bring it to a

boil on the Rice Function. Add up to ½ lb. of pasta, stir and cover. Cook until

noodles have reached desired consistency and drain.

13

OATMEAL OR HOT CEREALS

• Steel cut oats work best.

• Do not ﬁll bowl more than half way with liquids, as the oatmeal will

expand during the cooking process.

• For even heating, stir occasionally.

• When the oatmeal is done, the rice cooker will switch to warm.

Please note that this is for well-done oatmeal. If you prefer a different

consistency, monitor the cooking process to manually switch to warm for

desired results.

• Choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less.

If desired, add seasonings and oil or butter with rice before adding water.

Allow rice to rest on warm at least 15 minutes before serving.
