: Although the Keep Warm function is automatically activated, it is not recommended since the rice
loses its flavor.
Note
Brown crisp rice
* Dark brown crisp rice may be formed when
cooking rinse-free rice. If this is not desired, rinse
the rice thoroughly once or twice before cooking.
* Dark brown crisp rice may be formed when
cooking rice using the “Mixed/Sweet”, “Multigrain”,
“Brown”, or “GABA Brown” menu or cooking
germinated brown rice, whole rice, or semi-
polished rice.
Soaking rice
* Since the soaking time is included in the cooking
time for each menu (the “Quick” and “Express-
Limited Cups” menus are excluded), rice can be
cooked immediately without soaking.
* As the “Quick” and “Express-Limited Cups” menus
do not have a soaking process and cooking starts
immediately, the cooking time is shorter.
Keeping rice warm
When using the “Porridge” menu, porridge can
become pasty if kept warm for too long. Serve it as
soon as possible.
Timer function
You can preset the time that you want cooking to
be actually completed. (See P.20)
Express-Limited Cups
This is a menu for a small amount of rice to be
cooked quickly. The cooking time is shorter and
cooked rice is slightly hard.
Cooking capacity: 5.5-cup type: 1 to 2 cups, 10-
cup type: 2 to 3 cups
Note: If cooked rice is too hard, adjusting the
steaming time can change the hardness of
cooked rice. (See P.40)
