8. Select Function: Press the desired cooking function button (e.g., "Rice" or "Standard Cook") on the control panel. The cooker will typically start automatically or require a confirmation press.
9. Cooking Process: The indicator light will show that cooking is in progress. Once cooking is complete, the cooker will usually switch to "Keep Warm" mode automatically.
