3. Place the rinsed rice into the nonstick inner pot.
4. Add the appropriate amount of water. A general guideline is 1.5 to 2 cups of water per 1 cup of uncooked rice, but always refer to the rice packaging for specific ratios. The inner pot has water level markings for convenience.
5. Add a pinch of salt or other seasonings if desired.
6. Place the inner pot into the rice cooker base.

10. Once the rice is cooked, the cooker will automatically switch to the 'WARM' setting, and the 'WARM' indicator light will illuminate.
11. Allow the rice to rest on the 'WARM' setting for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the rice to firm up and absorb any remaining moisture.
12. Use the provided serving spatula to fluff and serve the rice.

7. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your rice cooker, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Rice is too hard or undercooked: Ensure the correct water-to-rice ratio was used. Add a small amount of extra water and cook for a few more minutes if necessary.
• Rice is too soft or mushy: Reduce the water-to-rice ratio for future cooking. Avoid opening the lid during cooking, as this releases steam and affects the cooking process.
• Rice sticks to the bottom: Ensure the nonstick coating is intact. For best results, lightly grease the inner pot with cooking oil or butter before adding rice and water.
• La cuina no s'encén: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the cooker and a working electrical outlet. Ensure the 'COOK' switch is pressed down.
• Water or steam leaks from lid: Ensure the lid is properly seated. The steam vent is designed to release excess steam; some condensation is normal.
