When cooking seasoned rice with various
ingredients using long-grain rice, select
the Mixed menu item. Selecting any other
menu option may result in improperly
cooked food.
The amount of other grains should be less than
20% of the volume of the white rice.
Place the other grains on top of the white rice.
Mixing them together may result in improperly
cooked food.
If the amount of water to add is specied on a
package of commercially available germinated
brown rice or mixed grains, follow those
directions and add water according to your
personal preference.
Do not mix in amaranth or other small grains
that may cause clogging.
Select the Multigrain menu item when cooking
germinated brown rice, whole rice, and semi-
polished rice.
Level the rice out so that all of
the rice is under water.
Pressure
This indicates a menu item for cooking rice with pressure. During pressure cooking, attention should be
paid to any rapid increase in the amount of steam as the pressure is adjusted during cooking. Otherwise,
there is a risk of burns or injury.
*1:
The cooking time guideline indicates the amount of time to the end of steaming when the rice is cooked without soaking.
(Voltage: 230-240 V, Room temperature: 23°C, Water temperature: 23°C, Amount of water: normal level)
Cooking times vary somewhat depending upon the type and quantity of rice, the type and quantity of other ingredients,
room temperature, water temperature, amount of water, electrical voltage, and whether the Timer function (Soak Timer)
is used or not, etc.
*2: Although the Keep Warm function is automatically activated, serve rice as soon as possible since it loses its avor
after being kept warm.

Instructions for adding other ingredients to rice
You can add other ingredients to
rice when using the Mixed, Sweet,
Porridge • Firm, Brown Porridge,
or Brown menu items. Do not add
other ingredients when using any
other menu item, which may result
in improperly cooked food.
The total amount of ingredients
should be no more than
approximately 70 g per cup of white,
glutinous, and/or brown rice (except
for the Porridge menu item).
Mix seasonings well and then add
other ingredients on top of the rice.
Do not open the lid during cooking
to add other ingredients.
If other ingredients are to be
added to the rice, be sure to
use no more than the allowed
maximum amount.
Add water prior to adding the
ingredients. Adding water after
the ingredients can result in the
cooked rice being too rm.
The following may result in
improperly cooked or burned rice.
• Adding too much of seasonings
such as soy sauce, sweet
cooking rice wine, etc.
• Seasonings sinking to the
bottom
• Adding ketchup or tomato sauce
• Mixing other ingredients with
rice
When adding ingredients while
using the Porridge menu item,
add water to the rice so that the
water level after the ingredients
are added is not over the top line
of the Porridge scale.
Soaking rice
Since the soaking time is included
in the cooking time for each menu
item (except for the Quick and
Exp. Limited Cups menu items),
rice can be cooked immediately
without presoaking.
You can also manually set the
soaking time. → P. 28
Rinse-free rice
Use the supplied measuring cup
for rinse-free rice as well.
→ P. 18, P. 20
When cooking rinse-free rice, use
the inner pot scale as a reference
but add a little extra water (until it
just covers the corresponding line).
When cooking rinse-free rice, dark
brown crisp rice may be formed.
Add rinse-free rice and water, and
then stir well from the bottom so
that every individual grain of rice
is fully wetted by the water. Just
adding water to the rice may not
fully wet the rice and may result in
improper cooking.
If the added water turns white,
we recommend you rinse the rice
thoroughly by replacing the water
once or twice. The water turning
white is due to the starch in the
rice and not its bran. However,
cooking it with the starch left in
the water may result in improperly
cooked or burned rice, or the
contents boiling over.
Inner pot scale (inside)
Use the corresponding scale on
the inner pot as a guide. Add
water according to the type of rice
and your personal preference.
If adding more or less water than
the recommended amount, do not
deviate from that amount by more
than 1/3 of one line. Doing so may
cause the contents to boil over,
etc.
