3. Setup

Before first use, follow these steps:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and accessories.
2. Wash Components: Wash the inner pot, inner lid, measuring cup, and rice scoop with mild dish soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Wipe Main Body: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a clean, damp cloth. Do not immerse the main body in water.
4. Placement: Place the rice cooker on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation.
5. Connect Power: Plug the power cord securely into a grounded electrical outlet.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to cook rice:

1. Measure Rice: Use the provided measuring cup to measure the desired amount of rice. One cup (approx. 180ml) typically yields about 2-3 servings of cooked rice.
2. Wash Rice: Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
3. Add to Inner Pot: Place the washed rice into the inner pot.
4. Add Water: Add water up to the corresponding water level mark inside the inner pot for the type and amount of rice you are cooking. For example, if cooking 3 cups of white rice, fill to the 'White Rice 3' line.
5. Place Inner Pot: Ensure the inner pot is clean and dry on the outside, then place it into the main body of the rice cooker. Close the outer lid securely.
6. Select Cooking Mode: Press the 'Menu' button to select your desired cooking mode (e.g., White Rice, Brown Rice, Quick Cook, Gohoubi-daki).
7. Start Cooking: Press the 'Start' button to begin the cooking process. The indicator light will illuminate.
8. Keep Warm: Once cooking is complete, the rice cooker will automatically switch to 'Keep Warm' mode.
9. Serve: Open the lid, stir the rice gently with the rice scoop to release excess moisture, and serve.

Gohoubi-daki Cooking Process:

The Gohoubi-daki mode is designed to enhance the flavor and texture of your rice through a unique three-step process:

1. High Heat for Sweetness: Intense heat is applied to draw out the natural sweetness from each grain of rice.
2. Far-Infrared Effect for Umami: The special inner pot, mimicking a traditional clay pot, utilizes far-infrared radiation to deepen the umami flavor.
3. Gentle Bubbling for Elasticity: Fine, gentle bubbles are created during cooking, which protect the rice grains and ensure a perfectly elastic and fluffy texture.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your rice cooker.

• Before Cleaning: Always unplug the power cord and allow the unit to cool down completely.
• Inner Pot: Wash the inner pot with a soft sponge and mild dish soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scrubbers, as they can damage the non-stick coating. Hand wash only.
• Inner Lid: Remove the inner lid and wash it with mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Steam Vent Cap: Remove and clean the steam vent cap regularly to prevent blockages.
• Main Body Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the rice cooker with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a small amount of mild detergent on the cloth, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Do not immerse the main body in water.
