CLEANING
Important: Never immerse cooking base in water or other liquids.
1. Always unplug the rice cooker and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wash cooking bowl and glass lid in warm, soapy water. If food sticks to
the cooking bowl, fill with warm, soapy water and allow it to soak before
cleaning with plastic scouring pad
Note: Both the cooking bowl and glass lid are dishwasher safe.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. Wipe interior and exterior of the cooking base with a soft, slightly damp
cloth or sponge.
Important: Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads to clean the
cooking base, as they may damage the surfaces.
5. If water accidentally gets into the switch area or onto the heating plate,
allow the rice cooker to dry completely before using.
STORING
Make sure that the appliance is thoroughly cool and dry. Never wrap the cord
tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled. Placing the lid on upside-
down for storage can help save space.

RICE TIPS
• If rice or other foods start to boil over, remove the lid and stir for a couple
minutes. Leaving the lid off for a short period of time will allow some of
the liquids to boil off and for the mixture to slightly cool. Place the lid
back on the rice cooker and repeat if needed.
• Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt. If using
kosher salt, you may find you want to add a little more than if using table
salt. About ¾ tsp. of kosher salt is recommended for each rice cup (6 fluid
oz.) of uncooked rice.
• White rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place for
up to one year.
• Brown rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place for
up to six months. Refrigeration or freezing extends its shelf life.
• Try using broth, stock or reconstituted bouillon in place of water for
additional flavor. If you do, no additional salt may be necessary.
• Do not keep small amounts of rice in the warm cycle for extended periods
of time because it can dry out the rice.
