	Care and Cleaning
This	product	 contains	 no	user	 serviceable	 parts.	Refer	service	 to	qualified	
service	 personnel.
•	Unplug	 the	unit	 before	 cleaning	 and	let	it	cool	 completely.
•	Never	 immerse	 the	unit	 in	water	 or	other	 liquid.
•	Wash	 the	cooking	 bowl,	lid,	serving	 scoop	and	rice	 measuring	 cup	in	warm,	
soapy	 water	or	in	the	 dishwasher.	do	 not	use	 abrasive	 cleaners	 or	metal	
scouring	 pads	–	they	 may	scratch	 the	nonstick	 surface	or	could	 result	 in	poor	
contact	 with	the	heating	 plate.
Helpful  tip: Since	 the	rice	 cooking	 bowl	has	a	nonstick	 coating,	try	this	 method:	
add	 warm,	 soapy	water	and	allow	 the	bowl	 to	stand	 for	several	 minutes.		 This	
releases	 any	food	 particles	 and	with	 just	a	wipe	 of	a	sponge	 or	plastic	 scrubber,	
the	 bowl	 is	perfectly	 clean.
•	Wipe	 the	interior	 of	the	 unit	 with	 a	dry	 cloth.	 Clean	 the	outside	 surface	 with	a	
damp	 cloth	and	dry	thoroughly.
•	If	 water	 accidentally	 gets	into	the	switch	 area	or	onto	 the	heating	 plate,	allow	
to	 dry	 thoroughly	 before	using	the	rice	 cooker.If desired, add butter, oil and seasonings after water has been added 
and before cooking begins.  Allow rice to rest   minutes on warm before 
serving.

HELPFUL HINts
•	Although	the	rice	 measuring	 cup		holds	 about	 5	ounces	 of	uncooked	 rice;	the	
cooked	 rice	is	given	 in	8-ounce	 cup	measures.
•	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.	
Use	 about	 ¾	tsp.	 Kosher	 salt	to	each	 cup	of	uncooked	 rice.
•	White	 rice	should	 be	stored	 in	an	 airtight	 container	 in	a	cool	 dark	 place.
•	Brown	 rice	has	a	limited	 shelf	life;	store	 it	for	 no	more	 than	1	month	 before	
using.
•	Try	 using	 broth,	 stock	or	reconstituted	 bouillon	in	place	 of	water	 for	additional	
flavor.	 If	you	 do,	no	additional	 salt	may	 be	necessary.
