  Inner Pot

• Holding the Lid Handle, lower the Lid back into position with a "click". DO NOT open the Lid during the cooking of the rice.
• Attach the power cable to the appliance and then plug the power cable into the wall socket and switch the wall switch ON. Press the Selector button downwards. The 'COOK' Indicator Light will illuminate and heating will commence. If difficulties are encountered in pressing the Selector button downwards, DO NOT attempt to force it down. This difficulty usually occurs when the Inner Pot is not fully inserted into the appliance, or when cooking has just been completed. If the Selector button is not pressed, the 'WARM' Indicator Light will illuminate and the Inner Pot and contents will be kept warm. However, heat energy provided will NOT be hot enough to cook the rice in the Inner Pot.
• When the rice is cooked, the Selector will "pop" up and a "click" sound will be heard. Simultaneously, the 'COOK' Indicator Light will be replaced by the WARM' Indicator Light.
• When cooking congee or soup, the instructions are the same. However, when the cooking is completed, manually PULL UP the Selector button. DO NOT allow the congee or soup to continue being heated in the 'WARM' function, or the congee or soup will gradually become a paste.
• Keep the rice warm after cooking and let it steam for 15 minutes. This will ensure that the rice is "fluffy". DO NOT keep the rice for more than 12 hours in the appliance in the 'WARM mode as bacteria may start to multiply and the rice will also lose its flavor.
