It is an essential ingredient for a healthy diet. There are many different varieties of rice available in the market. Your Aroma Rice Cooker can cook any type perfectly every time. The following are the most common varieties of rice available and their characteristics: Long Grain Rice Typically this rice is not starchy and has loose, individual grains after cooking. The "California" rice is soft; "Carolina" is a little firmer, and "Jasmine" is the firmest of the long grain variety and is flavorful and aromatic. Short Grain Rice Short grain is characteristically soft, sticky and chewy. This is the rice used to make sushi. "California Rice" is soft; "Sweet Rice", often called "pearl" rice for its round shape, is extra sticky and is excellent for making rice pudding. Brown Rice Brown rice is often considered the most healthy variety. It has bran layers on the rice grains and contains more B-complex vitamins, iron, calcium and fiber than polished (white) rice. The most popular brown rice is long grain and has a chewy texture. Wild Rice Wild Rice comes in many delicious varieties and mixes. Often it is mixed with long grain rice for its firmer texture and rich brown to black color. Wild rice makes wonderful stuffing for poultry when cooked with broth and mixed with your favorite dried fruits. 3 PARTSIDENTIFICATIONPARTSIDENTIFICATION 2 8 1. Safety-locking lid 2.

Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children. 4. Wash accessories in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. 5. Remove inner pot from rice cooker and clean with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before returning to cooker. 6. Wipe body clean with a damp cloth. • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. • Do not immerse the rice cooker base, cord or plug in water at any time. To Cook Rice: 1. Using the measuring cup provided, measure desired amount of rice. One level of the Aroma measuring cup equals one cup on the rice/water measurement chart (included on page 6). 2. Rinse rice in the inner pot until the water becomes relatively clear. 3. Using the water measurement lines inside the inner pot, add the appropriate amount of water. 4. For softer rice, allow rice to soak for 10-20 minutes prior to cooking. 5. Close lid and plug power cord into outlet. When the cord is first plugged in, the cooker will go into “Cook” mode for 1-2 minutes, then switch to “Warm” mode. This serves to preheat the inner pot should you choose to soak the rice prior to cooking. 6. Press switch down to “cook mode” to begin cooking. The cook light will illuminate. When rice is complete, it will automatically switch to warm mode and the warm light will illuminate. 7. After cooking, allow rice to stand for 5-10 minutes without removing lid (this will ensure that rice is cooked thoroughly). To Steam Food: 1. Add the desired amount of water into the inner pot. (A convenient steaming guide has been included on page 7). 2. Place steam tray in rice cooker. 3. Place food in steam tray and press switch to “cook mode”. When steaming is complete it will automatically switch to “warm mode”. We recommend keeping food on warm no longer than 5-10 minutes to avoid over cooking. CAUTION: • Do not open lid when in use. • If cooking pot is returned to cooker when wet, it will damage this product causing it to malfunction. 5 COOKINGGUIDESCOOKINGGUIDES Rice/Water Measurement Chart: UNCOOKED RICE WATER WITH MEASURING CUP INNER POT WATER LINE APPROX COOKED RICE YIELD 2 Cups 2-1/2 Cups Line 2 4 Cups 3 Cups 3-1/2 Cups Line 3 6 Cups 4 Cups 4-1/2 Cups Line 4 8 Cups 5 Cups 5-1/2 Cups Line 5 10 Cups 6 Cups 6-1/2 Cups Line 6 12 Cups NOTE • When cooking brown or wild rice, add an additional 3/4 cup water. • The measuring cup included is not an exact cup.
