Operating Instructions

Understanding Twin Pressure Technology

The CRP-LHTR0609FW offers two distinct cooking modes: High Pressure and Non-Pressure. This allows for versatile cooking results tailored to different types of rice and dishes.

• High Pressure Mode: Ideal for achieving rich, sticky, and flavorful rice. Suitable for multi-grain rice, GABA rice, and deep-steamed dishes.
• Non-Pressure Mode: Produces light, fluffy, and separate grains. Recommended for sushi rice, porridge, noodles, and pasta.

Induction Heating (IH) Technology

The advanced Induction Heating system ensures quick, efficient, and precise heat distribution by completely surrounding the inner pot. This results in evenly cooked and delicious food.

• White Rice
• GABA/Brown Rice
• Scorched Rice
• Porridge
• Baby Food
• Veggie Rice
• High-Pressure Steam
• Non-Pressure Steam
• Sticky White Rice

Open Cooking Function

The Open Cooking feature allows you to add ingredients or adjust recipes in real-time during non-pressure cooking. This is particularly useful for dishes like braised pork, clam chowder, or baby food where ingredients might be added sequentially.

Drain Dish (Smart Water Flow)

The integrated drain dish collects excess moisture, contributing to fresh and delicious rice by preventing water from dripping back onto the cooked grains. Empty and clean it regularly.

Steam Sterilization (Auto-Clean)

Utilize the Steam Sterilization (Auto-Clean) function for self-cleaning. This feature uses steam to sanitize the interior of the rice cooker, ensuring cleanliness and preventing odors. Refer to the full manual for specific instructions on activating this mode.
