TO USE QUICK RICE

To use the Quick Rice function, follow the steps for “To Cook Rice” beginning on page 5. Rather than

pressing one of the standard rice function buttons, press the QUICK RICE button.

If cooking brown rice, add an additional 1½ cups water, using the provided measuring cup, to

compensate for the lack of soaking time. The included measuring cup is equal to a standard ¾ US cup.
