Tips on making delicious rice
Read p.15 to 16 for preparations
before cooking rice, and p.17 to
21 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.
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 “Multigrain” 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 2.5 oz (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).

recommended amount, do not deviate from that

Cooking brown rice or multi-grain-brown
rice mixed in with white rice
If the rice to be cooked includes more brown
rice or multi-grain-brown rice than white rice,
use the “Brown” menu.
If there is an equal amount of brown rice and
white rice, or there is more white rice than
brown rice, use the “Plain” menu. (The brown
rice should be soaked separately for 1 to 2
hours before cooking.)
If there is an equal amount of multi-grain-brown
rice and white rice, or there is more white rice than
multi-grain-brown rice, use the “Multigrain” menu.
(The multi-grain-brown rice should be soaked
separately for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.)

English
Cooking sweet rice
When cooking sweet rice, select the “Sweet•Mixed”
menu.
Wash the rice, and then level it out so that all of
the rice is under water.
Cooking grains together with white rice
The amount of grains should equal less than
20% of the volume of the white rice.
The grains should be placed on top of the
white rice. Mixing them together may result in
improperly cooked food.
If you feel the cooked grains are too hard, soak
the grains separately for about 1 hour prior to
cooking.
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
“Quick” menu. When cooking seasoned rice
with various ingredients using long-grain rice,
select the “Sweet•Mixed” menu. Selecting any
other menu may result in the contents boiling
over.
1
Measure the rice.
Always use the measuring cup supplied with
the rice cooker (for rinse-free rice as well).
Alevelllingofriceinthesuppliedmeasuring
cup equals about 0.18 L.
Fill the measuring cup as shown below.

If other ingredients are to be added to the rice,
see p.13.
2
Wash the rice. (This can be
done using the inner pot.)
For rinse-free rice, see p.13.
Note
Do not use hot water (over 95°F [35°C]) to wash
the rice or when adding water. It may prevent the
rice from cooking properly.
Do not apply too much force while washing the
rice.
This could damage the inner pot and prevent 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.
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

When cooking 3 cups
of white rice, adjust the

Reheating Cooked Rice
For piping hot rice, reheat the rice that is being kept
warm before serving it.
Note
Rice will not be fully heated if more than half of
the inner pot is full.
The rice will end up dry if reheated under any of
the following conditions.
The rice is still hot, such as immediately after
cooking.
There is less than the minimum required
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.
Adding water will prevent the rice from drying out
and result in plumper rice.
3
Make sure that the Keep Warm
lamp is on.

Reheating is not available if the Keep Warm
lamp is not on. If the lamp is not on, press

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.
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.
Spread or make spaces between ingredients
sothatsteamisappliedevenly(lluptothe
position shown below).
Ingredients
should not be
placed above
this point
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 eggs
(medium size) for 1.0L (5.5-cup) type rice cooker,
3 eggs (medium size) for 1.8L (10-cup) type
rice cooker 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.
*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).
1
Prepare the ingredients and
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.15.)
Note
Refer to the following table for the acceptable
amounts of rice that can be cooked concurrently
with food. Do not cook more than the acceptable
maximum or less than the minimum required

The steaming times above are only a guideline and the required time will differ depending upon the
temperature, quality, and quantity of the ingredients.
If steaming is still not complete, you can steam for an additional period of time based on how well the food
is cooked.
Normally, there will not be enough water for additional steaming. Add water to prevent the inner pot from
running dry.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
Perform cleaning and maintenance procedures as described on the following p.31 to 36.
Clean all parts by hand. Do not use a dishwasher/dryer.
To maintain cleanliness, always clean the rice cooker on the same day it is used. Also clean the rice cooker at
regular intervals as well.
The rice cooker should also be cleaned on the day that it is used in order to remove any odors that remain
from cooking. (See p.36.)
Note
Be sure to disconnect the power plug and allow the rice cooker, inner pot, inner lid, and steam cap to cool
down before cleaning.
Clean with a soft sponge and cloth.
When cleaning the rice cooker with a detergent, use only standard kitchen detergent (for tableware and
kitchen utensils).
Rinse the parts thoroughly since detergent remaining on them may result in deterioration and discoloration
of part’s materials such as resin.
