Water level and rice capacity:
8. To cook the brown rice, just simply add half cup water additional to the water
in the inner pot. EX: 3 cups brown rice with 1.5 more cup water additional to the
water up to gauge 3 in the inner pot. It is not recommended to cook less than
two-cup rice in this rice cooker whether for cooking white or a brown rice. Please
be aware of it.
1.Due to the capacity, please do not fill water more than 6 on the scale in the
inner pot. Please notice that the water will spill out through the valve and
cause the starch spilling all over the counter top if the water is more than 6gauge.
9. How to clean the rice stain on the bottom of the stainless steel inner pot. Take
off the stainless steel inner pot from the cooking pot. Soak it in clean water for
half hour and use provided spatula to scoop and wipe off the rice stain gently.
2.The maximum capacity is 6 cups for white rice and 4 cups for brown rice.
Because every cup of brown rice requires 0.5 cup more water.
10. After cooking, check water collector and pour out the water from the
collector and place it back. Please do not pour out the water when it's hot.
3.Porridge and congee are not recommended on this type rice cooker.
Because the rice starch can be spilled easily through the valve when water is

put warmer switch in "OFF" position. It is not recommended to keep rice warm
over than two hours. In order not to keep the rice warm for too long, warmer
