Parts Identification
Digital Controls
POWER/KEEP WARM BUTTON
The POWER/KEEP-WARM button serves two purposes. One press of the POWER/KEEP-WARM button will turn the rice cooker on. A second press will set the rice cooker to its Keep-Warm setting.
WHITE RICE
The WHITE RICE button cooks restaurant-quality rice automatically.
BROWN RICE
The BROWN RICE button is ideal for cooking brown rice and other tough-to-cook whole grains to perfection.

LOW SLOW COOK
The LOW slow cook button sets to slow cook from 6 to 10 hours and reaches about 200°F.
HIGH SLOW COOK
The HIGH slow cook button sets to slow cook from 2 to 5 hours and reaches about 210°F.
QUICK RICE
The QUICK RICE button is a great time-saving option for rice in a pinch. This setting foregoes the rice cooker’s Sensor LogicTM for faster cooking times, although cooked rice will not be to the same quality of the White Rice and Brown Rice functions.
DELAY TIMER
The DELAY TIMER sets up to 15 hours for rice ready when it’s needed. Add rice and water in the morning and set the timer for mealtime at night.
Before First Use
- Read all instructions and important safeguards.

To Cook Rice
Using the provided measuring cup, add rice to the inner cooking pot
Rinse rice to remove excess starch. Drain
Fill with water to the line which matches the number of cups of rice being cooked. For example, if cooking two cups of uncooked rice, the water should be filled to line 2 in the inner pot
Place the inner cooking pot into the rice cooker
Before placing the inner cooking pot into the rice cooker, check that the cooking pot is dry and free of debris. Adding the inner cooking pot when wet may damage the rice cooker.
Helpful Hints
- If you misplace the measuring cup, a 3⁄4 standard US cup is an exact replacement.
- To add more flavor to rice, try substituting a favorite meat/vegetable broth or stock. The ratio of broth/stock to rice will be the same as water to rice.
- For approximate rice cooking times and suggested rice/water ratios, see the “Rice/Water Measurement Table”
Close the lid securely.
Plug the rice cooker into an available outlet
Press the POWER/KEEP-WARM button to turn on the rice cooker.
Press the WHITE RICE or BROWN RICE button, depending upon the type of rice being cooked.
Brown rice requires a longer cooking cycle than white rice due to the extra bran layers on the grain. If it appears the rice cooker is not immediately cooking this is due to the a low-heat soak cycle that precedes cooking to produce fluffier grains. The enhanced Sensor LogicTM of this rice cooker will cook brown rice up to 25% faster than other rice cookers.
Helpful hints
- Short on time? Use the Quick Rice function. See more details on this time-saving option
- Want perfect brown rice without the wait? Use the Delay Timer. Simply add rice and water in the morning and set the Delay Timer to the number of hours when rice will be needed. See “To Use Delay Timer” on page 10 for instructions.
The rice cooker will begin cooking. The digital display will show a “chasing” pattern.
Once rice is finished, the rice cooker will beep and automatically switch to Keep-Warm. The digital display will show the number of hours the rice cooker has been on Keep-Warm, beginning with “0.”
For best results, stir the rice with the serving spatula to distribute any remaining moisture.
When finished serving rice, turn the rice cooker off by pressing the POWER/KEEP-WARM button and unplug the power cord.
Rice should not be left in the rice cooker on Keep-Warm for more than 12 hours.

Troubleshooting
| Rice is too dry/hard after cooking. | If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the rice cooker switches to Keep-Warm,additional water and cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is, add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir through. Close the lid and press the QUICK RICE button. When rice cooker switches to Keep-Warm, open the lid and stir the rice to check the consistency. Repeat as necessary until rice is soft and moist. |
| Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking | If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the rice cooker switches to Keep-Warm, use the serving spatula to stir the rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moistest) part of the rice as well asrelease excess moisture. Close the lidand allow to remain on Keep-Warm for 10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid andstirring periodically to release excess moisture. |
| The bottom layer of rice is browned/caramelized. | The bottom layer of cooked rice may become slightly browned and/or caramelizedduring cooking. To reduce browning, rice should be rinsed before cooking to remove any excess starch.Stirring rice once it switches to Keep-Warm will also help to reduce browning/caramelizing. |
About Rice
Courtesy of the USA Rice Federation
Rice is the perfect foundation for today’s healthier eating. It is a nutrient-dense complex carbohydrate that supplies energy, fiber, essential vitamins and minerals and beneficial antioxidants. Rice combines well with other healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits, meat, seafood, poultry, beans and soy foods.
Nearly 88% of rice consumed in the U.S. is grown in the U.S. Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Missouri produce high-quality varieties of short, medium and long grain rice as well as specialty rices including jasmine, basmati, arborio, red aromatic and black japonica, among others.
There are many different varieties of rice available in the market. Your Aroma® Rice Cooker can cook any type perfectly every time. The following are the commonly available varieties of rice and their characteristics:
Long Grain Rice
This rice has a long, slender kernel three to four times longer than its width. Due to its starch composition, cooked grains are more separate, light and fluffy compared to medium or short grain rice. The majority of white rice is enriched to restore nutrients lost during processing. Great for entrees and side dishes— rice bowls, stir-fries, salads and pilafs.
Medium Grain Rice
When compared to long grain rice, medium grain rice has a shorter, wider kernel that is two to three times longer than its width. Cooked grains are more moist and tender than long grain, and have a greater tendency to cling together. Great for entrees, sushi, risotto and rice puddings.
Short Grain Rice
Short grain rice has a short, plump, almost round kernel. Cooked grains are soft and cling together, yet remain separate and are somewhat chewy, with a slight springiness to the bite. Great for sushi, Asian dishes and desserts.
Brown Rice
Brown rice is a 100% whole grain food that fits the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendation to increase daily intake of whole grains. Brown rice contains the nutrient-dense bran and inner germ layer where many beneficial compounds are found. Brown rice is available in short, medium and long grain varieties and can be used interchangeably with enriched white rice.
Wild Rice
Wild rice is an aquatic grass grown in Minnesota and California and is a frequent addition to long grain rice pilafs and rice mixes. Its unique flavor, texture and rich dark color provide a delicious accent to rice dishes. Wild rice also makes a wonderful stuffing for poultry when cooked with broth and mixed with your favorite dried fruits.
