2. Wash Inner Pot, Wire Cooking Rack, Glass Lid, Rice Measuring
Cup and Rice Paddle in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry well.
3. Never immerse Main Housing in water.

9. Never wash any removable parts of the Cooker in the dishwasher.
10. Save these instructions and refer to them often.
11. If the outside of the Inner Pot is wet when placed into the

Operating Instructions
Many varieties of rice can be used, including basmati, wild, black rice,
arborio, risotto, saffron rice, brown, and long grain. We do not
recommend using instant rice with this Rice Cooker.
1. Measure the amount of rice that you would like to cook. A 180 ml
(3⁄4cup) Rice Measuring Cup is included with your Rice Cooker.
Filling the cup with rice makes approximately 21⁄4cups of
cooked rice.
NOTE: Make sure that the rice is leveled when the cup is filled.
The Toastmaster®3-Cup Rice Cooker has the capacity for 3 Rice
Measuring Cups of dry rice.
2. For Best Results...
Pour desired amount of rice into a separate container. Wash and
rinse the rice until the rinse water is clear.
3. Take the Inner Pot out of the Rice Cooker.
Place the washed rice into the Inner Pot and add appropriate
amount of water. (If you are making 3 cups of dry rice, add water to
the “3” mark in the inside of the Inner Pot. ) See Figure 2.
4. Replace the Inner Pot back into the Rice Cooker’s Main Housing.
Rotate it slightly to make sure that it is well seated on the
Heating Plate/Thermostat Assembly.
NOTE: Always wipe the outside of the Inner Pot completely dry
before use. If the outside of the Inner Pot is wet when placed into
the Cooker, this may cause a cracking noise while the unit heats
up. Also, this may cause damage to the inner workings of the
appliance.

5. Replace the Glass Lid.
CAUTION: Do not operate the Automatic Rice Cooker without
replacing the Lid. Burns or other serious injury may occur.
6. Plug the Automatic Rice Cooker into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
Press the Rice Cooking Selector Lever down and the COOK Light
will illuminate. The cooking process begins as soon as the Light
illuminates.
7. When the Automatic Rice Cooker is done cooking, the Rice
Cooking Selector Lever will move to the UP position and the COOK
Light will turn off. For tender, fluffy rice, let the cooked rice sit for
15 minutes before stirring or removing. This allows the steam to
continue cooking the rice.
8. When ready to serve, carefully open the Lid as steam will escape.
Use the Rice Paddle provided or any other non-metal long-handle
utensil to scoop and mix the rice well. Allow all steam to escape.
9. Unplug the Automatic Rice Cooker from the wall. Do not touch the
Main Housing or Inner Pot until they have cooled completely.
10. Allow the Automatic Rice Cooker to cool completely before
cleaning.
11. When the Automatic Rice Cooker is not being used, please keep it
unplugged.

Steaming Food
GENERAL INFORMATION
Keep the Glass Lid on while cooking or steaming food, unless the
recipe or chart specially calls for removing it. By removing the Glass
Lid unnecessarily, you lose steam and valuable time. If you must
remove it to stir or to add an ingredient, have the Rice Paddle or
ingredient ready, add it, stir quickly and just as quickly replace the
Glass Lid.
Using the Wire Cooking Rack
When steaming vegetables, the Wire Cooking Rack is a convenient
accessory.
1. Clean and prepare your vegetables.

2. Place the Inner Pot into the Rice Cooker Heating Body. The length
of steaming time is subject to your own personal tastes; do you prefer
al dente (crunchy) steamed vegetables or a softer consistency?
3. Place the Wire Cooking Rack into the Inner Pot and add enough
water to be level with the top of the Wire Cooking Rack.
4. Place a heat-resistant container onto the Wire Cooking Rack. Or, a
steaming basket may be placed directly into the Inner Pot.
5. Add small vegetables to the heat-resistant container or the
steaming basket. Larger vegetables can be placed directly onto the
Steaming Rack. Replace the Glass Lid.
6. Plug the cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet. Press the Rice
Cooking Selector Lever down to the COOK position. Make sure
the COOK Light is ON. Steaming will start shortly.
7. Allow vegetables to steam to desired doneness. (See Vegetable
Steaming Chart.)
8. The Rice Cooker may automatically shut OFF. If additional
cooking is desired, unplug the unit and add more water. Replace
the Glass Lid. Plug in the Rice Cooker, press the Rice Cooking
Selector Lever down to COOK position and your Rice Cooker will
resume steaming.
9. When your food has reached the desired doneness, raise the Rice
Cooking Selector Lever and unplug after use.
