• The timer cannot be used with the “Quinoa/Quick” or “Mixed” setting.
• If the timer setting is 13 hours or longer (8 hours or longer when the water temperature is high), the rice may ferment, then generate undesirable odor.
• When cooking with the timer, the time until the rice is ready is not displayed.
• When cooking with the timer, the rice may absorb excess water. This can result in the rice becoming soft or burnt. ➞  Reduce the amount of water slightly if the rice is soft. (Reduce water by approximately 1 to 2 fl  oz. / 30 to 60 mL from the Water Level.)
