One of the most convenient features of this rice cooker is the ability to both

cook rice and steam food simultaneously, ideal for creating delicious all-in-

one meals.

1. Place the desired amount of rice and appropriate amount of water into

the inner pot. See “Cooking Rice” beginning on page 5 for details. Do not

attempt to cook more than 8 cups (uncooked) white or brown rice if

simultaneously using the steam tray or the steam tray will not fit once the

rice cooks.

2. Place the inner pot into the unit and begin to cook the rice.

3. Refer to the steaming guides for vegetables (page 12) or meat (page 13)

for hints and approximate steaming times. It is best to insert the food to be

steamed toward the end of the rice cooking cycle so that your meal is

fresh and warm all at once. See the Cooking Times column of the

“Rice/Water Measurement Chart” included on Page 6 or if using “Quick

Cook” the “Quick Rice Time Guide” on page 8 for approximate rice

cooking times.

4. Place your choice of vegetables or meat into the steam tray. Open the

lid, using caution as steam escaping will be extremely hot, and place the

steam tray into the rice cooker.

5. Close the lid and allow the cooker to resume cooking.

6. Once food has steamed for the appropriate time open the lid. Use

caution when opening the lid as steam escaping will be extremely hot.

Remove the steam tray and check food to be sure it has been thoroughly

cooked. Exercise caution when removing the steam tray as well, as it will

be hot.

7. If the rice has not finished cooking, close the lid and allow rice to continue

to cook until done. Once the rice is finished, the rice cooker will

automatically switch to “Keep-Warm” mode.

8. The rice cooker will remain on “Keep-Warm” mode until it is unplugged. Be

sure to unplug the cord from the wall outlet when not in use.

NOTE

It is possible to steam at any point during the rice cooking cycle.

However, it is recommended that you steam during the end of the

cycle so that steamed food does not grow cold or become soggy

before the rice is ready.

TO STEAM AND COOK RICE SIMULTANEOUSLY

The “Quick Rice” function will save time by foregoing the soaking cycle. However, we

only recommend using this function if time is of the essence. The rice produced by the

“Quick Rice” function will not be of the same quality as if the “White Rice” or “Brown

Rice” functions were used.

To use the “Quick Rice” function, follow the steps for “Cooking Rice” beginning on

page 5. Rather than pressing one of the rice function buttons, press the “Quick Rice”

button to utilize this feature. The digital display will show a countdown 3 minutes before

the rice is finished.

NOTE: For best results with brown rice when using the “Quick Rice” function, add an

additional 1½ cups of water, using the provided measuring cup. The

additional water helps to compensate for the lack of soaking time.

QUICK RICE TIME GUIDE

Cooking times are approximate. This table is for reference only. Possible variations in

cooking times may be caused by one or more of the following factors:

• Variations in the type of rice being cooked.

• Variations in the amount of rice and/or water in the inner pot.

• If you are making a second batch of rice shortly after the first batch, cooking times

may be reduced because the heating element will already be warm.

• Opening the lid during the cycle causes a loss of heat and steam. Cooking time

may be prolonged if the lid is opened before the rice is finished.
