SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a long cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the rice cooker. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY COOKING RICE GENERAL INFORMATION Rice is grown on marshy land that floods easily. It does not need to be milled or ground; only the outer husks must be removed, leaving behind what is known as brown or whole rice, the most nutritious of rices. Information has recently been published about more healthful ways to eat, i.e., having less fat, less protein and more complex carbohydrates in our diets. Because brown rice is about 8% protein, 87% carbohydrates and almost no fat, it is a perfect ingredient in a healthful diet. Because rice is a valuable source of carbohydrates, it is starchy by nature. To obtain fluffier, less starchy rice, you can rinse the rice before cooking. But by rinsing or soaking rice, you lose some of the vitamins which are water soluble. Therefore, rinsing or soaking is not recommended.

Its flavor is nutty and its texture is chewy. White Rice – Includes several kinds of white rice, most of which can be prepared in your Rice Cooker. Long-Grain Rice – Less starchy than short grain rice, so it separates into individual grains more than short-grain rice. Short Grain Rice – More moist and tender than long-grain rice, it has a softer texture and starchier flavor. White rice will take about 20-25 minutes to cook (brown rice app. 50 minutes). When done, the Rice Cooker automatically goes into the warm mode and the amber “ON/WARM” light will go on. Allow rice to stand on warm for 10 to 15 minutes to ensure fluffy rice. You can keep cooked rice on warm setting for several hours without interfering with the taste. Do not remove cover until ready to serve. The inner pot remains very hot after cooking or keeping warm. Use a pot holder when handling. CARE AND CLEANING Cleaning the pot after cooking is easy because of its non-stick finish. ...
