Creating a Custom Cycle Setting - Grain and Rice Cooker

Creating a Custom Cycle

Custom cycle settings are cooking features that allow flexibility for cooking all types of rice, or beans to create and save new cooking algorithms.

  1. Turn the Power Switch to the ON (I) position, located on the left side of the appliance.

    NOTE: Large-grain examples are Barley, Farro, Spelt, and Kamut. Small grain examples are Buckwheat, Sorghum, Couscous, and Amaranth.                                               
  4. Add desired food to the Ceramic Pot. The Grain and Rice Cooker will automatically sense the weight of the food when pouring it into the Ceramic Pot.

    TIP: Tap the 3 dots on the right of the weight screen to change the units of measure between cups, ounces, and grams.                                     
  5. If the food has already been added, remove the Ceramic Pot for 3 seconds and reinsert the pot in the cooker.

    NOTE: Adding food without selecting the cook mode first will limit the unit of measurement to ounces or grams only. Cups are not available with this method. For best results, level the food inside the pot for even cooking.
  6. Select food preparation, liquid type, and food texture on the screen.

    OPTIONAL: If water was selected as a liquid type, you can delay using the Water Tank to dispense water into the unit to cook and finish cooking later by using the DELAYED COOK feature. This can be set for up to 24 hours.
