GETTING STARTED

This appliance is intended for household use only.

• Remove all packing material, stickers, and plastic bands around the power plug.
• Go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your product.
• Wash all removable parts as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING.
• Place the clean, dry cooking pot in the cooking base.
• Select a location where this unit is to be used. Place the unit on a stable, heat-resistant surface, free from cloth, liquids, and any other flammable materials. Ensure that the unit has enough space all the way around and above it to allow heat to flow without damage to cabinets or walls.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RICE COOKER

• It is not necessary to preheat the rice cooker before use.
• The cooking bowl gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or potholders when touching any outer or inner surface of the appliance.
• During the first few minutes of use, you may notice smoke and a slight odor. This is caused by oil that may have been used during the manufacturing of the unit and will not impact the performance.
• Do not try to stop the rice cooker from switching to warm mode.
• As rice cooks, steam will escape through the vent in the lid. Place the glass lid on the rice cooker so the steam vent is facing away from cabinets and walls. Do not place your hand over the steam vent while rice is cooking; the hot steam may burn.
• Use the plastic serving spoon (or a wooden spoon) to stir and remove the rice. Do not use metal utensils that can scratch the nonstick cooking bowl.
• Do not fill the cooking bowl higher than the highest water marking measurement.

OPERATING YOUR RICE COOKER

COOKING RICE

1. Measure the desired amount of rice with the provided measuring cup and add it to the cooking bowl. The maximum amount of dry rice is 10 rice cup measures for model RC620 and 15 rice cup measures for model RC628. NOTE: When measuring uncooked rice; do not use a standard 1 cup (8 fluid oz.) measuring cup. A standard rice cup is a ¾ cup (6 fluid oz.); the same size as the provided rice measuring cup. One rice cup measure of dry rice will yield 2 standard cups of cooked rice.
2. Rinse the rice with water to remove any excess starch and then drain.
3. For white rice, fill the cooking bowl with water to the line that matches the number of rice cups being cooked. (A) Add butter, oil, or seasonings as desired. See the Chart for Rice Cooking in the Helpful Hints section for additional details on water and rice measures for brown rice.
4. Place the cooking bowl into the cooking base and then place the lid on the bowl
5. Plug in the appliance; the warm indicator light will automatically illuminate. The appliance will start heating on warm as soon as the cord is plugged into the outlet.
6. Push down the control switch. The cook indicator light will illuminate and the cooking will begin.
7. When the rice is ready, the control switch will flip up and switch to the warm setting.
8. For best results, allow the rice to rest on warm for 15 minutes with the lid in place. This will help further steam the rice. Always stir the rice with the serving spoon before serving.
   NOTE: A thin crust may develop at the bottom of the bowl after standing.
9. Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow the rice cooker to completely cool before cleaning.

CLEANING AND CARE

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

CLEANING

Important: Never immerse the cooking base in water or other liquids.

1. Always unplug the rice cooker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wash the cooking bowl and glass lid in warm, soapy water. If food sticks to the cooking bowl, fill it with warm, soapy water and allow it to soak before cleaning it with a plastic scouring pad
   Note: Both the cooking bowl and glass lid are dishwasher safe.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. Wipe the interior and exterior of the cooking base with a soft, slightly damp cloth or sponge.
   Important: Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean the cooking base, as they may damage the surfaces.
5. If water accidentally gets into the switch area or onto the heating plate, allow the rice cooker to dry completely before using it.

STORING

Make sure that the appliance is thoroughly cool and dry. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled. Placing the lid upside down for storage can help save space.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

RICE TIPS

• If rice or other foods start to boil over, remove the lid and stir for a couple of minutes. Leaving the lid off for a short period will allow some of the liquids to boil off and for the mixture to slightly cool. Place the lid back on the rice cooker and repeat if needed.
• To reduce foaming, add a small amount of butter or oil to the water before cooking.
• Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt. If using kosher salt, you may find you want to add a little more than if using table salt. About ¾ tsp. of kosher salt is recommended for each rice cup (5 fluid oz.) of uncooked rice.
• White rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place for up to one year.
• Brown rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place for up to six months. Refrigeration or freezing extends its shelf life.
• Try using broth, stock, or reconstituted bouillon in place of water for additional flavor. If you do, no additional salt may be necessary.
• Do not keep small amounts of rice in the warm cycle for extended periods because it can dry out the rice.
• During cooking, a thin crust may develop on the rice at the bottom of the bowl. If you do not like rice with a crust, you can easily peel it off and discard it.
• Taste/firmness will vary depending on the quality/type of rice used and the length of time it is cooked. For softer, fluffier rice, add a little more water. For firmer rice, use less water.
• For other types of grains not listed in the cooking chart, follow package directions.

ADDITIONAL USES FOR YOUR RICE COOKER Packaged foods: condensed and ready-to-serve soups, pasta, and stews

• Do not fill the bowl above the highest water-marking cup level on the cooking bowl.
• For even heating, stirring occasionally.
• Always use a kitchen timer. Do not rely on the control switch on the cooker since it is not intended to be an indicator of cooking time for soups and stews.
• Use only boneless meats and poultry that are cut into cubes no larger than 1½ inches. It is not necessary to brown the meats before cooking.
• When cooking rice or pasta in the soup, add additional liquid to the recipe.
• Since most frozen vegetables cook very quickly, it is best to add them at the end of the cooking time. Stir them into the soup or stew and allow the mixture to cook an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
• Choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less.
• To make pasta, add 6–7 cups of water to the cooking bowl and bring it to a boil on the cook setting. Add up to ½ lb. of pasta, stir and cover. Cook until noodles have reached the desired consistency and drain.

Oatmeal or Hot Cereal

• Steel-cut oats work best.
• Do not fill the bowl more than halfway with liquids, as the oatmeal will expand during the cooking process.
• For even heating, stirring occasionally.
• When the oatmeal is done, the rice cooker will switch to warm. Please note that this is for well-done oatmeal. If you prefer a different consistency, monitor the cooking process to manually switch to warm for desired results.
• Choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE	SOLUTION
Some kernels of rice do not seem fully cooked	•  The rice was not allowed to finish cooking •  There was not enough water in the cooking bowl.	•  Once the switch on the rice cooker automatically switches to keep warm, allow the rice to rest for 15 minutes before serving.  •  Add a few more tablespoons of water and cook a little longer by pushing the control switch back to cook. Check the rice again when the appliance automatically switches back to warm and has rested for 15 minutes.
The rice cooking bowl is not as clean as I would like.	•  Starch built up on the sides and bottom of the bowl.	•  Fill the bowl with hot soapy water and let stand for several minutes; then use a nylon scrubber along the sides and bottom. Rinse well.
Rice boils over.	•  Too much rice is being cooked. •  There is too much water for the amount of rice.	•  Make sure to cook no more than the maximum amount suggested in the Use and Care Manual.  The amount of rice to be cooked should match the water markings on the bowl. •  Add a small amount (1 Tbs.) of butter or oil to the water before cooking.
The rice is too dry.	•  There is too much rice or not enough water.	•  Use the rice measuring cup that comes with the appliance. The rice measure provided holds ¾ cup (6 fluid oz.) of uncooked rice.
Rice is gummy.	•  There is too much water or not enough rice.	•  Add water to match the water markings on the rice bowl. Make sure you have the correct ratio of ¾ cup (6 fluid oz) rice to 1 cup watermarking.
