  4. Add the desired beans or lentils to the Ceramic Pot. The Grain and Rice Cooker will automatically sense the weight of the food when pouring it into the Ceramic Pot.

    NOTE: Liquid should not be added at this step as it will alter weight scale performance. The Water Tank should be filled prior as per step 1, or an alternative liquid can be added after step 6.
    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 bean preparation, liquid type, and bean texture on the screen.
