Cooking tips
o Always fill the cooking pot [] between the CUP markings
2 and 5 on the cooking pot’s inside.
o For a better cooking result, coat the inside of the cooking
pot
[] with a little fat or oil.
o Always follow the preparation instructions on the packaging
of the rice.
o A level measuring cup [9] of rice is a suitable portion for one
person. Determine the appropriate amount of rice and water
at your preference.
o The cooking time can be shortened by using hot water.
When you do so, use a little less water than indicated on the
CUP marking.

cup
[9], use the Litre (L) marking on the inner side of the
cooking pot

added (according to the quantity of rice). Do not use the
scale to measure liquids or food, since the scale only applies
