For best results, we recommend using ordinary rice rather than `easy cook' type rice which tends to give a stickier rice and may adhere to the base. With other types of rice, such as brown or wild rice, the quantities of water need adjustment see the table below. · To cook 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large portion), use 1 measuring cup of white rice and then add 1 1/2 measuring cup of water. With some types of rice it is normal for a little rice to stick on the base when cooking 1 cup of rice. · The maximum quantity of water + rice should not exceed the 10 cup mark inside the bowl ­ Fig. 9 or the "minus" key ­ Fig. 10 to select a cooking time which must elapse before cooking completes. For instance: it is 1 p. m, I would like my rice cooked at 8 p. m, I have to set "7H" on the time key and wait the "rice cooking" light remains steady. · You can delay cooking for 9 hours maximum. Some recommendations for best results when cooking rice · Measure out the rice and rinse it thoroughly under running water in a sieve for a long time (except for risotto rice such as Arborio rice which should not be rinsed). Then place the rice in the bowl together with the corresponding quantity of water. · Make sure that the rice is well distributed around the whole surface of the bowl, in order to allow even cooking. Allow about half a teaspoon of salt for 4 cups of rice, but you can adjust this to your personal taste. Remember your Rice Cooker uses less water than when boiling rice so take care not to add too much salt. · Stock may be substituted for water if desired. If using stock cubes, take care not to season with too much salt as they have a salty taste. · Do not open the lid during cooking as steam will escape and this will affect the cooking time.
