Keep Warm Manually sets the cooker to Keep Warm mode, perfect for keeping foods at ready-to-serve temperatures. 5. Before First Use 1. Read all instructions and important safeguards. 2. Remove all packaging materials and check that all items have been received in good condition. 3. Tear up all plastic bags and dispose of them properly as they can pose a risk to children. 4. Remove the inner pot from the cooker and clean with warm, soapy water. 5. Wash all accessories in warm, soapy water. 6. Wipe the cooker's body clean with a damp cloth. 7. Dry all parts thoroughly then assemble for use. To Clean 1. Remove the inner pot when the cooker has completely cooled. 2. Hand wash the inner pot and all accessories using warm, soapy water. 3. Remove the condensation collector and hand wash using warm, soapy water. 4. Wipe the cooker's body clean with a damp cloth. 5. Thoroughly dry the cooker's body and all accessories. Reassemble for next use. Caution: Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or products that are not considered safe to use on ceramic coatings. We recommend hand washing the inner pot with warm, soapy water to lengthen its lifespan and avoid damage over time. Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, check that the inner pot is dry and free of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the cooker. Troubleshooting Rice is too dry/hard after cooking. If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker switches to Keep Warm, additional water and cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is, add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir thoroughly. Close the lid and select the White Rice function once more. When the cooker switches to Keep Warm mode, open the lid and stir the rice to check the consistency. Repeat as necessary until rice is soft and moist. Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking. If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the cooker switches to Keep Warm, use the serving spatula to stir the rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moist) part of the rice as well as release excess moisture. Close the lid and allow the cooker to remain on Keep Warm mode for 10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid and stirring periodically to release excess moisture.

Helpful Hints: Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no need to increase the amount of water with a larger serving of vegetables. To ensure meat tastes its best and to prevent food-borne illness, check that the meat is completely cooked prior to serving. If the meat is still uncooked, simply add more water to the inner pot and repeat the steaming process until the meat is adequately cooked. Parchment paper or aluminum foil may also be used while steaming. Place the paper/foil in the center of the steam tray and ensure it does not create a seal along the bottom of the tray. We recommend beginning to steam your foods towards the end of the rice cooking cycle. This will allow steamed food and cooked grains to be ready around the same time. See "Rice/Grain & Water Measurement Table" on page 10 for approximate cooking times. Meat & Vegetable Steaming Tables Meat Fish Chicken Pork Beef Steaming Time 25 Min. 30 Min. 30 Min. Medium= 25 Min.
