Using the Rice Cooker
INTRODUCTION
The Comfee ® Rice Cooker provides 12 different digital cooking programs to cook a variety of meals. There are three rice programs that automatically adjust the time and cooking temperature for the type and amount of rice added for perfect results. Other cooking programs provide a suggested time that can be adjusted as needed.
IMPORTANT:
• Do NOT place anything on or over the rice cooker lid, during use.
• Do NOT touch the steam vent during cooking.
Do NOT place the interior cooking pot on a cooktop burner; the high temperature will warp the pot. The cooking pot is designed to be used only in the rice cooker.
• Do not use a pot or container other than the cooking pot
(provided) in the rice cooker.
• Do not insert any foreign objects into the air vent or gaps at the bottom of the rice cooker.
• Do not use metal cooking utensils. Metal utensils may scratch or damage the non-stick coating.

MEASURING RICE
IMPORTANT: The total amount of rice and water should NOT exceed the 6 cup MAX level marked inside the cooking pot.
NOTE: 7KH5LFH0HDVXUHLVVLJQL¿FDQWO\VPDOOHUWKDQWKH standard U.S. cup measure.
• To achieve the correct ratio of rice to water, use ONLY the
Rice Measure (cup provided).

WKDWVSHFL¿FW\SHRIULFH
RINSING RICE
Some types of rice are rinse-free and other types require rinsing before use to remove excess starch which may make the rice sticky. Also, cooking rice with starchy water may result in the rice burning or being improperly cooked.
If the water should turn white or cloudy, when added to rinse-free rice, drain and replace the water before cooking.
Many recipes recommend rinsing quickly so the rice does not absorb water prior to cooking.
To Rinse Rice Quickly:
1. Place a colander inside a larger bowl.
2. Place the rice in the colander and rinse under cool running water.
NOTE : Rinsing rice in hot water may prevent the rice from cooking properly.
3. Using your hand stir the rice around 3 to 4 times to separate the grains.
4. Continue to rinse until the water in the bowl is clear.
ADDING OTHER INGREDIENTS
If you wish to add other ingredients or seasonings to the rice, do so after adding the water. The rice will not cook properly

• Measure rice and water accurately.
• )RUDGGHGÀDYRU\RXPD\VXEVWLWXWHPHDWVWRFNRUEURWK for the water and chopped fresh herbs can be stirred into the rice at the end of cooking before allowing to rest.
• Some varieties of rice should be rinsed before cooking.
Enriched rice, commonly found in the U.S., is not rinsed to preserve the added nutrients. If rinsing rice before cooking, measure rice before rinsing and drain as much water as possible.
• After adding the rice and water to the cooking pot, spread it evenly over the bottom.
• Do not open the lid during cooking.
Most types of rice will be slightly undercooked at the end of the cooking program. Allow the cooked rice to “rest” in the cooking pot for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the last bit of moisture.
