Note:
· Brown rice takes longer to cook and requires more water than white rice due to the
extra bran layers. The water lines in the inner pot are meant for white rice only.
Please see the chart above for the correct brown rice and water ratio or refer to the
individual package instructions.
· The measuring cup included adheres to rice industry standards (180mL) and is not
equal to one U.S. cup. The chart above refers to cups of rice/water according to the
measuring cup provided.
· Do not place more than 2 cups of uncooked white rice (1 cup of brown rice) into
this appliance at one time. The maximum capacity of this unit is 2 cups of uncooked
white rice (1 cup of brown rice) which yields 4 cups of cooked white rice (2 cups of
brown rice).
