• 

  Main Unit: The primary body of the rice cooker, featuring the control panel with 'COOK' and 'KEEP WARM' indicators.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Clean: Before first use, wash the inner pot, steamer tray, measuring cup, and serving spoon with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth.
3. Placement: Place the rice cooker on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from walls or cabinets to allow for proper ventilation.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the power cord is not damaged and is easily accessible. Do not plug in the appliance yet.

Operating Instructions

Cooking Rice

1. Measure Rice: Use the provided measuring cup to measure the desired amount of rice. One cup of uncooked rice typically yields about 2-3 cups of cooked rice.
2. Rinse Rice (Optional but Recommended): Rinse the rice under cold running water in a separate bowl until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and results in fluffier rice.
3. Add Rice to Pot: Place the rinsed rice into the non-stick aluminum inner pot.
4. Add Water: For most types of white rice, a general ratio is 1 cup of rice to 1.5-2 cups of water. Adjust water quantity based on rice type and desired consistency. Refer to the markings inside the inner pot for guidance.
5. Place Pot in Cooker: Ensure the inner pot is dry on the outside before placing it into the main unit. Rotate it slightly to ensure good contact with the heating element.
6. Close Lid: Securely close the lid. Do not open the lid during cooking as this releases steam and heat, affecting the cooking process.
7. Plug In: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. The 'KEEP WARM' indicator light may illuminate.
8. Start Cooking: Press the 'COOK' switch down. The 'COOK' indicator light will illuminate, indicating that cooking has started.
9. 

   Automatic Switch-off: Once the rice is cooked, the cooker will automatically switch from 'COOK' to 'KEEP WARM' mode. The 'KEEP WARM' indicator light will illuminate.

10. Resting Period: For best results, allow the rice to rest in 'KEEP WARM' mode for 5-10 minutes after cooking. This allows the moisture to distribute evenly.
11. Serve: Open the lid carefully, avoiding steam. Fluff the rice with the provided serving spoon and serve.
12. Unplug: Always unplug the rice cooker from the power outlet after use.

Steaming Food

1. Prepare Water: Add the appropriate amount of water to the inner pot. Ensure the water level is below the steamer tray.
2. Prepare Food: Place vegetables, fish, or other foods onto the steamer tray.
3. 

   Assemble: Place the steamer tray with food into the inner pot. Close the lid securely.
4. Plug In & Cook: Plug the cooker into the outlet and press the 'COOK' switch.
5. Monitor: Steaming times vary depending on the food. Monitor the food and remove when done. The cooker will switch to 'KEEP WARM' when the water has evaporated.
6. Serve & Unplug: Carefully remove the steamed food. Unplug the appliance after use.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and performance of your rice cooker.

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the rice cooker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wash Removable Parts: The inner pot, steamer tray, measuring cup, and serving spoon can be washed with warm, soapy water. Use a soft sponge or cloth to avoid scratching the non-stick coating. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Clean Main Unit: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Never immerse the main unit in water.
4. Lid Cleaning: The lid can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure no food particles are stuck in the steam vent.
