1
Measure rice and put it into the
inner pan.
Be sure to measure using the supplied measuring
cup.
* If you use a different rice measure or other
measuring cup, a measuring error may occur.
When measuring rice, the rice should be level with
the top of the cup (about 0.18 L).
Use only the quantities listed in the chart to the
right. Otherwise, the rice may not be cooked
properly.
2
Rinse rice by hand.
(Rice can be rinsed in the inner pan.)
Put the rice into the inner pan, and fill with water. Stir
vigorously, and immediately discard the water.
Use cold water and rinse the rice quickly so that the
rice cannot absorb anything from the water.

Rinsing the rice
With the heel of your hand, press down on the
drained rice. Then fill the pot with water, stir the rice
quickly, and discard the water.
Do this 4-5 times until the water remains clear.
4
Place the inner pan on a level
surface and adjust the water
level to the scale on the inside of
the inner pan.
Check the type of rice and the menu. Adjust the
water volume according to personal preference.
For example: When cooking three cups of polished
rice, adjust the water level to the [3] on
the “Plain rice” scale.
Select a good-quality rice.
Choose freshly polished, glossy rice of the same grain
size.
Store it in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place.
To cook rinse-free rice
Use the supplied cup for rinse-free rice as well.
Add the rinse-free rice and water to the inner pan, then
thoroughly stir the rice from the bottom so that all grains
are immersed in water. (Simply pouring water on top of
the rice from above does not submerge all of the rice and
can prevent the rice from cooking properly.)
If the water clouds up when added to the rice, it is
recommended to rinse the rice 1 or 2 times. (The clouding
is caused by the starch, not the bran. Rice that cooks in
cloudy water can burn or not cook properly, and the water
can boil over.)

* Do not adjust water amount more or less than 1/3 level
from original water level marks.
* When cooking haiga rice, rolled barley, germinated brown
rice, semi-polished rice and multi-grain rice, add water to
the [Plain rice] scale of the inner pan.
* Some germinated brown rice and multi-grain rice packages
specify the quantity of water required to cook. Please refer
to package directions.
Inner pan scale is the standard amount
The measuring scale on the inner pan is the
recommended amount.
Adjust based on your preferences; each family can
cook rice with the firmness and the bottom crust
they like.
Adding vegetables and meat to your rice
Total ingredient amount should be less than 70 g for each cup
of rice.
Stir the water, seasoning and rice well. And then place the
ingredient on top of the rice. Ingredient must be chopped
finely. There is the maximum cooking amount for each menu,
see the chart below.
Cooking Sweet rice
After rinsing the rice, soak it for about 30 minutes,
and level the rice so that it doesn't stick up above
the water level. (If you soak it for less time, the rice
will be firmer when cooked, and for more time, it will
be softer.)
Caution
Rinse rice well.
Do not use hot water (over 35°C) to rinse rice.
Correct measurement
Wrong measurement
Spread the
rice so that it
is level.
