•
Amount of rice exactly filled in one cup is approximately 180ml.
Notes
•
Do not rinse the rice inside the inner pot but in another
container or bowl.
•
Rinse the rice well (to avoid burn and bran smell).
•
Do not use a whisk but use your hand to rinse the rice.
•
Enriched rice cannot be cooked up to the maximum level for
white rice (up to 2 cups).
•
When using wash-free rice, the rice grain floats if water is
just poured onto the rice and this affects rice cooking.
Furthermore, if rinsing water is too unclear, the rice may
burn or cannot be cooked properly.
Notes
•
Level the rice before adjusting water amount. Check the water
amount on a flat surface (to avoid uneven rice cooking).
