Use the measuring cup provided. Each cup of uncooked plain rice normally can amount to 3 bowls of cooked rice. Do not cook rice outside the range indicated inside the pot. The rice cooker cannot perform the normal rice cooking function outside the specified range. 2) Wash the rice. Wash the rice in another container and put it into the cooker after washing. Do not wash rice directly in the aluminum cooker, so as to prevent the deformation of cooker bottom by collision, damaging the non-stick coating of the inner pot and affecting normal operation. 3) Add water according to the marking inside the pot. Pour the pre-washed rice into the inner pot. Add water according to the marking indicated inside the pot that corresponded to the cups of plain rice that are poured. Then smooth the rice surface. The level marked inside the pot is just an indication; you can always adjust the water level for different type of rice and your own preference. 4) Check to ensure the pot is in good contact. Before connecting the power, ensure the outside of the inner pot is dry and clean and that no foreign object is on the heating plate or the magnetic switch. Turn the inner pot from left to right several times slightly to ensure its bottom has touched the heating plate completely.

The non-stick inner pot can be wiped with soft cloth. If it gets dirty, it can be wiped with wet soft cloth. 4) Do not use the rice cooker to cook any acid food or alkaline food any time. Do not put the cooker in places with corrosive air or high moisture. When in operation, never put the cooker in or near the flammable places. 5) After placing the inner pot cooker inside properly, the power plug can be inserted to the outlet. While taking out the inner pot, the power plug should be pulled out first. When you take the handle and want to remove the cooker, do not touch the release button; otherwise the lid will be separated from the body of the cooker and cause accident. 6) An over-heating fuse is installed in this rice cooker. If accident happens, the power will be automatically cut off. 7) Don't put cloth or anything else on the cover during use. Don't touch steam vent hole during cooking.
