Keep Warm Precautions

Stiring the cooked rice evenly after cooking is recommended. (For a small quantity of rice, pile the rice in the center area of the inner pot to keep warm)

Keeping rice warm for a long time may cause it to become discolored or develop an odor. Therefore, it is recommended that it be kept warm for less than 12 hours.

24 hours after keeping the cooked rice warm, the passed time blinks on the display.

Do not keep a rice scooper or a wooden scooper in the inner pot while keeping the cooked rice warm. This may cause bacteria to form.

The warming status of mixed/brown rice is worse than plain rice. Do not keep it warm if at all possible.

The rice on the edge of the inner pot or the bottom of the steam outlet may turn plain and swollen. In this case, stir and mix the rice.

Do not mix too small a quantity of rice or leftovers with the rice under keeping warm. Doing so may develop an odor.

(Use a microwave oven for the cold rice.)
