12. Remove the lid and stir the rice before serving. The lid
hanger may be placed into the hole in the handle with
the lip of the lid resting on the condensation catcher to
keep water off of the countertop (A).
Caution: When removing the lid, lift away from your body
as you may get burned with the hot steam.
13. Unplug the unit when finished.
A
STEAMING BASKET
1. Fill the cooking bowl with about 1-1/2 cups (12 fl. oz./350 ml) of water using
a standard measuring cup.
2. Place vegetables or other food in the steamer basket, and position the basket on top
of the cooking bowl.
3. Close the lid.
Note: Always keep the lid closed while cooking.
4. Plug unit into a standard electrical outlet. The Warm light will come on.
5. Press the Cook button to begin cooking.
6. Steaming times vary according to vegetable or food type. Begin checking for doneness
after initial 5 minutes. You may need to experiment to suit your taste.
7. Unplug the unit when finished.
Note: When steaming vegetables or other foods without rice in the cooking bowl, the unit
will not switch to the Warm mode.
Important Tips:
• Do not keep small amounts of rice in the keep warm cycle for extended periods
of time.
• During cooking, a thin crust may develop on the rice at the bottom of the bowl. If you
do not like rice with a crust, you can easily peel it off and discard it.
• Use the plastic serving scoop (or a wooden spoon) to stir and remove rice. Do not use
metal utensils that can scratch the nonstick cooking bowl.
HOW TO PREPARE SOUPS AND STEWS
1. Before first use, wash the cooking bowl, glass lid, condensation catcher, serving scoop,
steaming basket and rice measure in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry well.
2. Place unit on a flat, stable surface.
NOTE: Select recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less. Use only boneless meats and poultry
that are cut into cubes no larger than 1
before cooking. As the soup or stew begins to cook, steam will come out of the vent in the
lid. Do not place the cooker directly under your cabinets.
NOTE: When cooking rice or pasta in the soup, allow for additional liquid in the recipe.
Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable nonstick cooking
bowl provided.
3. Combine meats, vegetables and liquids in the cooking bowl. Stir with a wooden
or plastic spoon until ingredients are blended well.
NOTE: Since most frozen vegetables cook very quickly, it is best to add them at the end
of the cooking time. Stir them into the soup or stew and allow the mixture to cook an
additional 5 to 10 minutes.
Caution: Do not fill cooking bowl higher than the "Maximum" line on the cooking bowl.
4. Before placing the cooking bowl into the rice cooker, be sure the heating plate and
outside surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Do not let loose particles
fall into the cooker.

5. Insert cooking bowl into the cooker. You might have to turn it slightly to the left
or right to ensure proper contact with the heating plate.
6. Place the lid on the cooker.
Note: Always keep the lid on the cooker while cooking.
7. Plug into a standard electrical outlet. The Warm light comes on.
8. Press down the On switch. The Cook light comes on and cooking begins. As the soup
or stew cooks, steam may come out through the steam vent on the lid.
Caution: Do not put your hand over the steam vent as you may get burned with the
hot steam.
9. Set your kitchen timer for desired cooking time.
Note: The On switch on the cooker is not intended to be an indicator of cooking time for
soups or stews. Always use a kitchen timer.
10. If desired, stir several times during the cooking process. The lid hanger may be placed
into the hole in the handle with the lip of the lid resting on the condensation catcher
to keep water off the countertop (see A).
Caution: When removing the lid, lift away from your body as you may get burned with
the hot steam.
11. Place lid back on the cooker when stirring is done.
12. If desired, check seasoning level during cooking and add additional seasoning to taste.
13. When cooking is complete, unplug the unit.
CAUTION: Do not keep cooked soups or stews in the Warm cycle. Always unplug the
unit after cooking is complete.

additional 5 to 10 minutes.
If desired, add seasonings and oil or butter with rice before adding water.
Allow rice to rest on warm at least 15 minutes before serving.
