rice still in the inner pot
• Using the Keep Warm function with cold rice or
adding cold rice to rice that is being kept warm
• Leaving a spatula in the inner pot while the Keep
Warm function is on

with the 1.8 L type)
• Using the Keep Warm function for anything other
than white rice (or rinse-free rice)
• Keeping warm a circle of rice with a hole in the middle

Be sure to wipe o any hot water that collects on
the upper casing or that runs onto the outside of
the rice cooker when you open the lid immediately
after cooking or while the Keep Warm function is

dirty.

Reheating Cooked Rice
You can turn rice being kept warm into piping hot rice by reheating it before eating.
CAUTION
Rice cannot be fully heated if more than half of the inner pot is full.
Rice will end up dry if reheated under any of the following conditions.
• The rice is still hot, for example, immediately after cooking.
• There is a small amount of rice (1 cup or less with the 1.0 L type, 2 cups or less with the 1.8 L type).
• The rice is reheated 3 times or more.
Reheating is not available when using the Porridge, Brown Porridge, Slow Cook, Bread Fermentation, Bread
Bake, Cake, and Self Clean menu items.
Stir and loosen the rice that is being kept warm, and
add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water evenly over the rice.
Adding water can prevent the rice from drying out and result in plumper
rice.

The remaining reheating time starts appearing on the display when 5
minutes remain. When reheating is nished, the rice cooker beeps 3
times (long beeps) and the Keep Warm lamp turns on.

If the rice is too cold (under approximately 55°C), the rice cooker
beeps twice (short beeps) and reheating is not available.
