• Salt to taste

1 Wash and boil the vegetables. Then soak in cold water, squeeze off the excess water, and cut into small pieces.
2 Clean rice well, add water to water level 0.5 for CONGEE THICK.
3 Press the MENU button, select CONGEE THICK and press the START / REHEAT button to start cooking.
4 When the cooking has completed, add ingredients from Step 1 and the salt, and mix lightly. Alternatively, place the rice on a bowl and top with the vegetables from Step 1.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the cooked rice is too hard or too soft?
● Increase or reduce water by 1–2 mm from the Water Level Line according to your preference.
● If the Rice Cooker is positioned on an uneven or tilted surface, the texture of the cooked rice may be too hard or too soft as the amount of water becomes inconsistent.
● The texture of rice varies depending on the brand of the rice, where it was harvested, and how long it was stored (new crop or old crop).
● The texture of rice varies depending on the room and water temperatures.
● Using the Timer may result in softer rice.
● If you cook rice using the QUICK menu setting, the rice may turn out sticky or hard.
→ Try using the WHITE (REGULAR) or PREMIUM menu setting.
● Make sure the Inner Cooking Pan has not deformed.
● Rice may not have been cleaned sufficiently and too much bran may be left.
● Did you loosen the rice after cooking was completed?
→ Loosen the rice immediately after cooking is completed.
● Is there moisture or foreign matter on the outer surface of the Inner Cooking Pan, the inside of the Main Body, the Inner Lid Set, or the Steam Vent Set? → Wipe it off.
● Long Grain Rice may be slightly harder than normal.
→ To make it softer, fill the water slightly higher than the marked line on the Inner Cooking Pan (within 1/2 of scale) and cook. However, please note that adding too much water may cause it to boil over.
Why is there noise during Cooking and Keep Warm?
● The noise is the microprocessor (MICOM) adjusting the heat power of the Rice Cooker.
● The low noise is the pressure level being controlled during cooking.
● The mechanical noise is the sound of the device that controls the pressure level during cooking.
● The rolling noise is the movement of the Pressure Release Ball in the Pressure Control Valve, controlling the pressure level.
● The hissing sound from pressure being released may be heard when rice completes cooking.
Why is there a resinous odor like plastic?
When you use this product for the first time, there will be a resinous smell, such as that of plastic, but the odor will lessen as you use the product.
Why is there rattling sound when i open or close the outer lid?
The rattling sound you hear when opening and closing the Outer Lid is the sound of the Pressure Release Ball moving.
There is food residue stuck on the Inner Cooking Pan. Can i scrub it off?
When dry rice or other food has stuck to the Inner Cooking Pan/Spatula, soak it in water until the food softens, and then wash this item off with a soft sponge or something similar. Do not use polishing powder, metal or nylon scrubbing brushes.
Can I clean the rice using hot water?
Do not clean the rice or adjust the amount of water using hot water (35°C or above).
Doing so will cause the rice to be cooked improperly.
Can I cook the rice using alkaline water?
Do not use alkalized ionic water that is over pH 9. Rice cooked with strongly alkalized ionic water may appear yellow or become too glutinous
Care for the Inner Cooking Pan
The inner cooking pan features a non-stick coating that helps prevent rice from sticking during cooking. To help maintain its condition, follow these care instructions.
During Preparation
Remove any foreign matter (such as small stones) from the rice before cooking.
Do not use whisks or other metal utensils to wash or clean the rice inside the cooking pan.
Do not place a metal strainer inside the inner cooking pan when cleaning rice.
Use the inner cooking pan only with this rice cooker.
After Cooking
Do not pour vinegar directly into the inner cooking pan (such as when preparing sushi rice).
Do not use metal ladles or serving utensils when serving cooked food.
Avoid striking the inner cooking pan with the rice paddle or other utensils.
Cleaning the Inner Cooking Pan
To help prolong the life of the non-stick coating:
Only use soft materials such as a soft sponge when cleaning.
Clean the pan soon after using seasonings or sauces.
Do not place utensils or dishes inside the inner cooking pan.
Do not wash the inner cooking pan in a dishwasher or dish dryer.
Do not use thinner, bleach, abrasive cleaners, nylon brushes, metal scourers or melamine sponges.
Is It Normal for the Non-Stick Coating to Wear?
Yes. Over time, the non-stick coating may become discoloured or gradually wear with normal use. This does not affect the rice cooker's cooking performance or food safety.
If the coating peels excessively or the inner cooking pan becomes deformed, it should be replaced. You may check out Zojirushi Service Centre here: https://www.niasia.com.sg/contact.html
