Caution
Be sure to observe the following to prevent malfunction that may cause an accident:
1 Measure the quantity of rice and water according to the Instructions on pages 9 - 10.
2 Clean the Rice Cooker, particularly the condensation collector, after each use (see Care & Cleaning next page).
3 Set the unit on a stable surface.
4 DO NOT expose to water, high humidity, or heat sources. DO NOT use the pot directly on an open flame.
5 Be sure to keep the unit out of the reach of children.
6 Keep holes that drain into the condensation collector clean and free of debris.
7 Plug into a properly wired wall outlet. Before you plug it in, make sure the voltage of the unit is the same as your local supply.
8 After plugging in, press the switch on immediately.
9 Cooking with the switch in KEEP WARM position will cause low heat cooking and this will not cook the rice properly.
10 The unit becomes hot when in use. DO NOT touch the lid with your hand, and do not place your face or hand directly over the steam coming from the cooker.
11 Always keep the outside bottom of the pot and the heating plate clean and dry. Any foreign matter between them will cause the unit to malfunction.
12 DO NOT tilt the Rice Cooker on its edge or place it upside down with its power supply plug connected or with food in the pot as this may cause damage to the cooker or injury to yourself. When tilting or placing the Rice Cooker upside down, make sure to disconnect the power supply plug.
13 The pot must not be filled above the MAXIMUM CUP MARKING.
14 The lid must be closed tightly in the latched position at all times during cooking. (i.e. The unit must not be operated with the lid opened).
15 DO NOT cover the lid with a cloth. The lid may deform or change color.
16 DO NOT damage the power cord and do not attempt to repair it if it is damaged.
17 Never attempt to customize the cord. Keep the cord away from high temperatures. Avoid unnecessary bending, twisting and pulling on the cord. Never place heavy objects on the cord or attempt to tie it up. Using a damaged power cord can lead to electrical shock, shorting or fire.
18 Ensure that the plug fits all the way into the outlet.
19 Partially plugged-in cords may cause electric hazard.
20 DO NOT MOVE the unit while cooking.

Using Your Rice
Cooker/Steamer to Cook Rice
1 Only measure rice with the enclosed measuring cup. For best results rinse measured rice until the water becomes relatively clear (see
“Helpful Hints” section for details).
2 Place rinsed rice in the pot, add water. For 6 cups of uncooked rice
(yields 10 - 12 cups of cooked rice), use 6 full scoops of rice to the line indicated on the measuring cup and add to inner pot.
3 Add water to the 6 cup line on the inside of the pot. Always add the rice to the pot BEFORE adding the water to the pot. The water level marked on the inner pot is based upon having rice added already.
4 Place the pot in the rice cooker.
5 Close the outer lid. The lid is properly closed when it clicks.
6 Plug in and immediately press the switch down to “Cook”.
The “Cook” indicator light will illuminate to indicate the rice is cooking.
7 The rice cooker will automatically switch to “Keep Warm” when the cooking process has completed (approx 25 - 35 minutes). The Keep
Warm function will continue until the unit is unplugged.
8 Open the rice cooker by pressing the release button on the handle.
Be sure to open the lid facing away from you to avoid any hot steam.
9 Remove and clean the condensation collector after every use.

Helpful Hints
• Using the KEEP WARM function for more than 5 hours may cause discoloration or an odor in the rice.
• You can adjust the amount of water and/or rice to your own taste preferences.
• When steaming vegetables please reference the steaming chart in this manual. The charts are merely a guide, you may wish to adjust the times according to your own taste preferences.
• Washing Rice
When rice is milled some bran and residues adhere to the surface of the rice. You can remove these residues by first washing the rice with water before cooking. This will remove excess starch & residues, which will provide you with much whiter, fluffier rice.
Remember to always use the measuring cup provided to accurately measure the rice. Add the desired amount of rice to the Rice Cooker
Pot. Fill with cold water until all of the rice is submerged. Wash the rice by simply stirring the rice around in the water and rubbing between your hands. You will notice that the color of the water will become cloudy as the rice is cleaned. Without spilling the rice, tip the Rice Cooker Pot to remove the cloudy water and repeat several times until the water remains clear.
• Cooking other types of rice
Your Wolfgang Puck Rice Cooker can handle a wide variety or rice such as long grain rice, wild rice, yellow rice, brown rice, basmati rice, etc. When cooking rice other than short grain white rice it will be necessary to increase the amount of water by 1.5 – 2 times more than the standard short grain white rice recipe. Adjust to suit your own personal taste.
• A note about the measuring cup provided with your Rice Cooker
Your Rice Cooker is able to cook a maximum of 7 cups of raw rice, which is the equivalent of 14 cups of cooked rice. A rice cooker cup is equivalent to 6 ounces, or approx 3/4 of a cup. This is why it is important to use the measuring cup that came with your Rice
Cooker and not a standard 8 cup measure.
Helpful Hints cont.
• If the rice cooker switches to KEEP WARM before the food is done, you probably need to add more liquid.
• Foods that are overly sweet or oily can cause the rice cooker to switch to KEEP WARM earlier than desired. If this happens, add some liquid like water, wine, stock, milk or juice.
• When baking in the rice cooker, it is usually necessary to push COOK more than once. You will need to wait for about 10 minutes after the machine switches to KEEP WARM to be able to press it back to
COOK. This is normal.
• The temperature of the KEEP WARM setting is a little over 180 degrees. This is hot enough to very gently cook foods and far too hot for any bacteria to grow or for food to spoil. It is very safe to keep foods at this setting for several hours.
• Do not double recipes in the rice cooker. The tightly closed lid will force excess liquid out of the steam vent if you do.

Raspberry White Chocolate
Bread Pudding
4 Servings
INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup sugar
4 whole eggs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon regular salt
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla, best quality you can find
5 slices bakery-type egg bread cut into 2-inch cubes (challah or brioche)
1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1/4 cup white chocolate pieces
METHOD
1 To the Rice Cooker Pot, add the cream, sugar, eggs, salt, lemon juice and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Using an immersion blender makes this part fast and easy! You have now made the custard part. Add bread cubes to this and gently push the bread under the custard with a large spoon or your clean hands. This will help the bread soak up the custard.

Repeat if necessary.
3 Open lid and scatter the raspberries and chocolate pieces over the bread pudding and gently stir them in. Close and leave on KEEP

Chocolate Crazy Cake
This is a recipe I grew up with. It just happens to be a Vegan recipe.
It is very easy to mix and is moist and delicious. I love recipes that use simple pantry items! It is amazing how well the rice cooker bakes cakes. Try it with your favorite recipe or a boxed mix. Bake no more than 3 cups of batter per batch.
4 - 6 Servings
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons good-quality unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon iodized salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 tablespoon white, cider or wine vinegar
METHOD
1 Pour all ingredients into (ungreased) Rice Cooker Pot. Stir until combined. A few lumps will remain and batter will be quite thin.
2 Close lid and press COOK. After a few minutes, the rice cooker will switch to KEEP WARM even though the cake is not done. This is normal. Keep rice cooker on KEEP WARM setting for about 10 minutes, and then press COOK again. The cooker will switch to KEEP
WARM again but this is okay. After 30 minutes or so, open and check cake with a toothpick. When inserted slightly off-center and then removed, moist crumbs should cling to the toothpick.
3 Remove with potholders and invert onto serving plate. Wipe out
Rice Cooker Pot and make glaze in it (recipe follows).

Rice Cooker Cakes
INGREDIENTS
1 store-bought cake mix, any flavor,
Additional ingredients listed on back of cake mix packaging
Non-stick cooking spray
METHOD
1 Mix cake ingredients together according to package directions.
Spray Rice Cooker Pot with nonstick spray.
2 Add 3-4 cups of batter, close lid and press COOK. After 10 minutes check cooker. It will probably be on KEEP WARM. If it is press, COOK again. If it will not stay in the COOK position, wait a few minutes and then press COOK again. You will need to repeat this process one more time, so that you will have pressed the COOK button and allowed the appliance to cycle through 3 times.
3 Most cakes take about 45 minutes to cook. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick off center into the cake. The pick should have a few moist crumbs clinging to it. If it has a streak of wet-looking batter on it, press COOK again. It is very difficult to burn anything in the rice cooker!
NOTE: You can bake all kinds of things in your rice cooker from corn bread to cobbler using these same baking guidelines!
