Unpacking

Remove all packing materials. Wash the cooking pot, steam vent, and other accessories, then dry thoroughly before using. The cooking pot is dishwasher safe.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING - ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

A 120 V, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the rice cooker is used. Sharing the power supply with other appliances will result in overheating.

Power Supply Cord

This Rice Cooker has a 3-prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, the plug will fit into an outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug.

A short power supply cord is used to reduce the risks of becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord, or of the cord being grabbed by children.

If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or technician install an outlet near the appliance. Do NOT use an extension cord.

Location Requirements

This rice cooker is designed for household use only and should not be used for commercial purposes.

Use indoors on a stable, level, non-heat sensitive surface such as a countertop in a location where the lid can be fully opened. Do NOT use outdoors.

Do not place the rice cooker on an area of the countertop that is exposed to direct sunlight, or where it might be splashed with cooking oil.

Recommended Clearance

Steam and heat emitted from the rice cooker may damage or discolor nearby walls or cabinets. It is recommended that the rice cooker be placed a minimum distance of 12" (30.5 cm) from walls or cabinets.

[Diagram showing rice cooker with arrows indicating a 12" (30.5 cm) clearance from walls/cabinets]

Using the Rice Cooker

The Comfee® Rice Cooker provides 12 different digital cooking programs to cook a variety of meals. Three rice programs automatically adjust time and temperature for perfect results. Other programs offer suggested times that can be adjusted.

Important Usage Notes:

• Do NOT place anything on or over the rice cooker lid during use.
• Do NOT touch the steam vent during cooking.
• Do NOT place the interior cooking pot on a cooktop burner; high temperatures will warp the pot. The cooking pot is designed for use only in the rice cooker.
• Do not use a pot or container other than the cooking pot provided.
• Do not insert any foreign objects into the air vent or gaps at the bottom of the rice cooker.
• Do not use metal cooking utensils, as they may scratch or damage the non-stick coating.

Measuring Rice:

IMPORTANT: The total amount of rice and water should NOT exceed the 6 cup MAX level marked inside the cooking pot.

NOTE: The Rice Measure is significantly smaller than the standard U.S. cup measure.

• To achieve the correct ratio of rice to water, use ONLY the Rice Measure (cup provided).
• Level the rice in the Rice Measure cup so it is even with the top.
• For softer or firmer rice, adjust the ratio of water to rice accordingly.
• If rice requires rinsing before cooking, measure the rice before rinsing and follow the rinsing directions for that specific type of rice.

Rinsing Rice:

Some types of rice are rinse-free; others require rinsing to remove excess starch, which can make rice sticky or cause burning/improper cooking. If water turns white or cloudy when added to rinse-free rice, drain and replace the water before cooking. Many recipes recommend rinsing quickly so the rice does not absorb water prior to cooking.

To Rinse Rice Quickly:

1. Place a colander inside a larger bowl.
2. Place the rice in the colander and rinse under cool running water.
3. Using your hand, stir the rice around 3 to 4 times to separate the grains.
4. Continue to rinse until the water in the bowl is clear.

Rinsing rice in hot water may prevent the rice from cooking properly.

Adding Other Ingredients:

If you wish to add other ingredients or seasonings to the rice, do so after adding the water. Adding ingredients before water may result in improperly cooked or too firm rice.

Tips for Great Results:

• Measure rice and water accurately.
• For added flavor, substitute meat stock or broth for water and stir in chopped fresh herbs at the end of cooking before allowing to rest.
• Some varieties of rice should be rinsed. Enriched rice (common in the U.S.) is not rinsed to preserve nutrients. If rinsing rice, measure before rinsing and drain as much water as possible.
• After adding rice and water, spread evenly over the bottom of the pot.
• Do not open the lid during cooking.
• Most rice will be slightly undercooked at the end of the program. Allow the cooked rice to "rest" in the pot for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb moisture.

Delay Cooking

The Delay Timer delays the start of cooking programs except Pasta, Sauté, and DIY, for up to 24 hours.

IMPORTANT: To maintain rice quality, it is recommended not to set the delay timer for longer than 12 hours.

7. Press the ON/OFF/START button. The countdown timer will start, and the cooking process will begin when the delay has finished.

Steaming Food

In addition to the Steam program, food can be steamed during the rice cooking process. The rice cooker can be used to steam vegetables, meat, or fish.

It takes approximately 70 minutes to cook a batch of white rice and approximately 5 to 20 minutes (depending on type and quantity) to steam cleaned, cut vegetables.

1. Determine the time needed to steam the food. See Steaming Guide.
2. At the appropriate time, open the rice cooker.
3. Place the steamer basket with cut vegetables arranged in a single layer onto the rim of the cooking pot.
4. Close the lid and continue cooking for the remaining time.
5. Remove food immediately after steaming to avoid overcooking.

Notes on Steaming:

• If steaming meat or fish, place foil on the bottom of the steamer basket to keep meat juices from seeping into the rice.
• Vegetables should be cut to a size similar to that indicated in the following chart.
• Cooking times are approximate and yield cooked but crisp/tender vegetables. Add or decrease time if you prefer softer or crisper vegetables.

Steaming Guide

NOTE: While steaming, monitor your meat's internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure the meat you cook reaches a safe temperature.
