Instructions For Use  
Cooking Rice  
Many varieties of rice can be used, including basmati, wild, black rice,  
arborio, risotto, saffron rice, brown, and long grain. We do not  
recommend using instant rice with this Rice Cooker.  
1. Measure the amount of rice that you would like to cook. A 180 ml  
(3/ 4 cup) Rice Measuring Cup is included with your Rice Cooker.  
Filling the cup with rice makes approximately 2 - 1/ 4 cups of  
cooked rice.  
NOTE: Make sure that the rice is leveled when the cup is filled.  
The 7 Cup Automatic Rice Cooker has the capacity for 7 Rice  
Measuring Cups of dry rice.  
2. For Best Results: Pour desired amount of rice into a separate  
container. Wash and rinse the rice until the rinse water is clear.*  
3. Take the Inner Pot out of the Rice Cooker. Place the washed rice  
into the Inner Pot and add appropriate amount of water. (If you  
are making 7 cups of dry rice, add water to the 7” mark in the  
inside of the Inner Pot.)  
Use Rice Measuring Cup  
provided to measure 7 level  
Rice Measuring Cups of rice.

Rinse, if desired.  
Add rice to the Cooking Pot  
Add water up to the 7-cup line  
4. Replace the Inner Pot back into the Automatic Rice Cookers Main  
Housing. Rotate it slightly to make sure that it is well seated on the  
Heating Plate.  
NOTE: Make sure to always wipe down the outer surface of the  
Inner Pot. If the Inner Pot is wet when placed into the Cooker, this  
may cause a cracking noise while the unit heats up. Keep the outer  
surface dry to prevent damage to the inner workings of the  
appliance.  
* For information regarding rinsing rice, please refer to General  
Information on page 10.  
Automatic Rice Cooker Use and Care Guide  
6.  
 
5. Replace the Glass Lid.  
CAUTION: Do not operate the Automatic Rice Cooker without  
replacing the Lid. Burns or other serious injury may occur.  
6. Plug the Automatic Rice Cooker into a 120V AC electrical outlet.  
Press the Rice Cooking Selector Lever down and the COOK Light  
will illuminate. The cooking process begins as soon as the Light  
illuminates.  
7. When the Automatic Rice Cooker is done cooking, the WARM  
Light will illuminate. For best results, let the cooked rice sit for  
15 minutes before stirring or removing. This allows the steam to  
finish the cooking process.  
8. Mix the rice.After rice has steamed for 15 minutes, carefully open  
the Lid as steam will escape. Use the Rice Paddle provided or any  
other non-metal long-handle utensil to scoop and mix the rice  
well. Allow all steam to escape.  
9. Keep Warm. When the cooking is completed, the Automatic Rice  
Cooker will automatically go into the WARM Mode. At this time,  
the WARM Light will illuminate.  
NOTE: Do not warm rice for more than 12 hours. It is  
recommended to consume the rice within a 12 hour period.  
If the WARM Mode is not desired, simply unplug the Automatic  
Rice Cooker from the wall. Do not touch the Main Housing or  
Inner Pot until they have cooled completely.  
10. Allow the Automatic Rice Cooker to cool completely before  
cleaning.  
11. When the Automatic Rice Cooker is not being used, please keep  
it unplugged.  
7.  
 
Steaming Food  
General Information  
Keep the Glass Lid on while cooking or steaming food, unless the recipe  
or chart specifically calls for removing it. By removing the Glass Lid  
unnecessarily, you lose steam and valuable time. If you must remove it to  
stir or to add an ingredient, have the Rice Paddle or ingredient ready,  
add it, stir quickly and just as quickly replace the Glass Lid.  
Using the Steaming Tray and Cooking Rack  
The Steaming Tray is specifically designed to steam vegetables. When  
steaming large vegetables,the Cooking Rack is a convenient addition.  
1. Clean and prepare your vegetables. Cut vegetables into bite-sized  
pieces.  
2. Place the Inner Pot into the Rice Cooker Body. Be sure the Inner  
Pot is seated properly. Measure appropriate amount of water and  
add to Inner Pot (see water measurements/ time following).  
3. When steaming smaller vegetables or chunks, place vegetables  
directly into the Steaming Tray. (If you are cooking combinations  
of vegetables, be sure they require the same cooking time and also  
cut pieces uniformly to assure all vegetables will be finished  
steaming at the same time.)  
4. Then place the Steaming Tray onto the rim of the Inner Pot and  
cover with Glass Lid.  
5. If you are cooking large food, place the Cooking Rack directly into  
the Inner Pot. Place food onto the Rack and cover with the Glass Lid.  
Or, you may place food to be steamed into a heat resistant container  
such as a bowl, and place the container on the Wire Cooking Rack.  
Periodically check water level so Pot does not boil dry.  
6. Plug the cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet. Move the Rice  
Cooking Switch to the COOK position. Make sure the COOK  
Light is on. Steaming will start shortly.  
7. Allow vegetables to steam to desired doneness. See "Vegetable  
Steaming Chart." Move Switch to WARM and unplug after use.

Cooking Rice  
General Information  
Rice is grown on marshy land that floods easily. It does not need to be  
milled or ground; only the outer husks must be removed, leaving behind  
what is known as brown or whole rice, the most nutritious of rices.  
Information has recently been published about more healthful ways  
to eat, by consuming less fat, less protein and more complex  
carbohydrates in our diets. Because brown rice is about 8% protein,  
87% carbohydrates and almost no fat, it is a perfect ingredient in a  
healthful diet.  
Because rice is a valuable source of carbohydrates, it is starchy by  
nature. To obtain fluffier, less starchy rice, you can rinse the rice  
before cooking. But by rinsing or soaking the rice, you lose some of  
the vitamins, which are water soluble. Therefore, rinsing or soaking  
rice is not recommended because of the nutrient loss.  
Types of Rice  
Brown Rice - Contains more vitamin B complex, iron and calcium and  
takes longer to cook (about 50 minutes) than white rice. Its flavor is  
nutty and its texture is chewy. (See Cooking Chart on page 11.)  
White Rice - Includes several kinds of white rice, most of which can  
be prepared in your Automatic Rice Cooker.  
(See Cooking Chart on page 11.)  
Long-Grain Rice - Less starchy than short-grain rice, so it separates  
into individual grains more than short-grain rice.  
Short-Grain Rice - More moist and tender than long-grain rice. It has  
a softer texture and starchier flavor.  
White rice will take about 20-25 minutes to cook, (brown rice  
approximately 50 minutes). When rice is done, the Automatic Rice  
Cooker will automatically go into the WARM Mode and the AMBER  
ON/ WARM Light will go on. Allow rice to stand on WARM for 10 to  
15 minutes to ensure fluffy rice. You can keep cooked rice on the  
WARM setting for several hours without the taste of the rice being  
affected. Do not remove Cover until ready to serve. The Inner Pot  
remains very hot after cooking or keeping warm. Use a pot holder  
when handling.

Long Grain Brown Rice Cooking Chart  
Allow about 50 minutes to cook brown rice. The Automatic Rice  
Cooker automatically switches from COOK Mode (RED Light) to  
WARM Mode (AMBER Light) when all the liquid evaporates from the  
Inner Pot. However, for fluffy rice, allow rice to stand for  
approximately 10 minutes, covered, on WARM before serving.  
NOTE: Always place rice in Inner Pot before adding water.

Cooking Legumes & Grains  
General Information  
High-protein, high-fiber meatless dishes of legumes and grains can be  
very satisfying and very delicious.  
Cooking Instructions  
Measure legumes or grain with the Automatic Rice Cooker Measuring  
Cup, and pour into the Inner Pot. Fill Inner Pot with water to desired  
cup line. Cover. Plug Power Cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.  
The AMBER ON/ WARM Light will go on. Push Lever down to begin  
COOK Mode. The RED COOK Light will illuminate. Legumes and  
grains tend to foam while cooking. To help minimize foaming, stir  
after cooking one hour. If any liquid remains at the end of the  
recommended cooking time, switch to WARM Mode and let stand  
until liquid is absorbed. For added flavor, substitute broth for water.  
Do not allow the Automatic Rice Cooker to boil dry.

Cleaning Instructions  
N PLEASE NOTE: It is normal to have a brown ‘rice crust’ coating  
the bottom layer of the Inner Pot when the rice has finished  
cooking and steaming.  
N This appliance should be cleaned after every use. Unplug the unit  
from the wall outlet. NEVER immerse Main Housing or Power  
Cord in water. Allow the unit to cool before cleaning.  
N Let the Rice Cooker cool. Fill Inner Pot with warm water and allow  
to sit for a while. Wash in warm, soapy water with a sponge and dry  
thoroughly with a cloth.  
N The Wire Cooking Rack, Glass Lid, Rice Measuring Cup and Rice  
Paddle may also be washed in warm, soapy water.  
CAUTION: Handle the Glass Lid with extreme care, as it may  
become slippery when wet.  
N Do not wash Inner Pot or Wire Cooking Rack in dishwasher.  
N The Main Housing can be wiped clean with a soft, slightly damp  
cloth or sponge.  
N NEVER POUR LIQUID INTO THE MAIN HOUSING OR

Other Suggestions For Use and Care  
N Be careful not to dent the Inner Pot, especially the bottom of it. To  
work properly and produce the best cooking results, the Inner Pot  
must fit snugly on top of the thermostat.  
N DO NOT let loose grains of rice or other food particles fall into  
the bottom of the Main Housing because they might prevent the  
thermostat from fitting tightly against the bottom of the Inner Pot  
and cause inadequate cooking.  
N Use the plastic Rice Paddle or a wooden spoon to stir and remove  
food from the Inner Pot. NEVER use any metal utensils.  
N Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads because they can  
damage the finish of both the Inner Pot and Main Housing.

Why Rice & Whole Grains?  
Grains (including rice) are finally getting the attention they deserve  
as they move into the nutritional spotlight. The new USDA dietary  
recommendations highlight grains and legumes as an essential part of  
a healthy, whole foods diet. With their impressive fiber, complex  
carbohydrates and protein profiles, they are, without a doubt, some of  
Mother Natures most perfect foods.  
Grains are the edible portion of cereal plants. The grain or kernel is  
technically a complete fruit and houses most of its nutritional value.  
In addition to their high fiber content, grains are an excellent source  
of B vitamins and many minerals, including magnesium, iron, zinc,  
potassium and selenium. The germ oils found in the germ layers of  
whole grains contain vitamin E, an important antioxidant.  
Whole grains that are best served alone or as complements to main  
dishes include: wheat, rice, rye, quinoa, barley and oats just to name  
a few. Breads, crackers, pastas and cereals are products made from  
grains that have been ground into flours. Only flours labeled as whole  
grain contain the bran and germ portion of the grain. If the label just  
lists flour even if the flour is labeled as enriched or wheat flour, the  
nutrient-rich bran and germ portion of the grain have usually been  
removed.  
Automatic Rice Cooker Use and Care Guide

Grain Glossary  
Rice is a staple food in many countries. Although long-grain rice is  
consumed more than any other rice around the world, it is inferior to  
brown rice in both taste and nutrition. Brown rice is not only more  
complete nutritionally, it has a wonderful nutty aroma and flavor.  
Polished rice (white) has been bleached, cleaned, pearled (polished  
with talc), then often oiled and coated. This refining process causes  
the loss of its hull, bran and germ, which are removed from the grain  
(along with most of its nutrients) leaving only the starchy endosperm.  
As white rice is rather bland when eaten by itself, it is usually served  
under steamed or sauteed vegetables and topped with a flavorful  
sauce, such as curry or peanut.  
Long grain brown rice contains fiber and the nutrient-rich bran and  
germ, as well as the starchy endosperm. In addition to being more  
flavorful, brown rice digests more slowly, which provides energy over a  
longer period of time. Brown rice is a satisfying meal companion and  
can even serve as the main focus for a meal. While not as high in  
protein as wheat and some other grains (10%), the high quality  
protein in brown rice is easily utilized by the body. Brown rice is also a  
good source of the B vitamins and serval minerals, including  
magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, and selenium.  
Wheat berries are simply the wheat kernel with the hull removed.  
They can be prepared as you would brown rice, though soaking  
overnight will speed up cooking time. Their mild and pleasant flavor  
lends itself well to warm dishes as well as cold salads.  
Barley has a chewy, hearty texture and is delicious combined with  
long or short grain brown rice. A versatile grain with a pasta-like  
consistency, barley is frequently used in soups. Barley contains 10 to  
15% protein, is a good source of many B vitamins and contains  
healthy amounts of magnesium, calcium, iron and potassium.  
Oats, in the old-fashioned rolled style, make a stick-to-your-ribs meal  
any time of the day. Add cinnamon and apple pieces or dried fruit  
before cooking for ready-to-eat convenience. Oats are about 10 to  
15% protein and provide cholesterol-lowering fiber along with B  
vitamins. Because quick oats have been partially processed, resulting  
in a loss of nutrients, try to use old-fashioned rolled or steel-cut oats  
whenever possible.  
15.  
 
Quinoa, one of the ancient super grains,is petite in size and  
delicate in texture. Quinoa has one of the highest protein contents of  
any grain, and is also high in iron and calcium. Quinoa is a great  
companion grain in combination dishes and its quick cooking time  
makes it a convenient substitute for rice in your meals.  
Millet is a grain that complements a group of grains used together. Its  
flavor is light, the color is sunny yellow. Millet contains 15% protein,  
is high in fiber, iron, magnesium and potassium. For those with  
gluten sensitivity, millet is considered to be one of the most digestible  
grains.
