How to Use a Lumina Rice Cooker
Before using your Lumina rice cooker for the first time, you should wash the inner pot, the lid, the measuring cup, and the rice paddle with warm soapy water and dry them thoroughly. You should also wipe the exterior of the rice cooker with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the rice cooker base in water or any other liquid.

To cook rice with your Lumina rice cooker, follow these steps:
Measure the amount of rice you want to cook with the measuring cup provided. One cup of uncooked rice will yield about two cups of cooked rice. Rinse the rice under running water until the water runs clear. This will remove excess starch and prevent the rice from sticking or boiling over.
Add the rice to the inner pot and level it with a spatula. Do not fill the inner pot more than two-thirds full.
Measure the amount of water you need according to the type and quantity of rice you are cooking. You can use the water level marks on the inner pot as a guide, or refer to the instruction manual for more specific recommendations. Generally, white rice requires less water than brown rice, and long-grain rice requires more water than short-grain rice.
Add the water to the inner pot and stir gently to mix with the rice. You can also add salt, oil, butter, or other seasonings to enhance the flavor of your rice.
Place the inner pot inside the rice cooker base and close the lid securely. Plug in the power cord and press the power button. The indicator light will turn on and the rice cooker will start cooking automatically.
When the rice is done, the rice cooker will switch to keep warm mode automatically and beep to alert you. The indicator light will change from red to green. You can keep your rice warm for up to 12 hours in this mode.
Open the lid carefully and fluff the rice with a spatula or fork. Serve and enjoy your rice, or transfer it to a storage container and refrigerate or freeze for later use.
Tips and Troubleshooting
Here are some tips and troubleshooting advice for using your Lumina rice cooker:
Do not open the lid while the rice is cooking, as this will affect the cooking time and result in unevenly cooked or mushy rice.
If your rice is too dry or hard, you can add some more water and restart the cooking cycle. If your rice is too wet or soft, you can remove some water and continue cooking in keep warm mode until the excess moisture evaporates.
If your rice is scorched or browned at the bottom, you may have used too little water, too much salt, or cooked for too long. You can prevent this by following the water ratio guidelines, using a non-stick inner pot, and checking your rice periodically in keep warm mode.
If your rice cooker overflows or spits out steam or water, you may have used too much water, too much rice, or not rinsed your rice properly. You can prevent this by following the water ratio guidelines, filling the inner pot no more than two-thirds full, and rinsing your rice thoroughly.
If your rice cooker does not turn on or cook properly, you may have a faulty power cord, plug, outlet, or fuse. You can check these components and replace them if necessary. Do not attempt to repair your rice cooker yourself if you are not qualified. Contact Lumina customer service for assistance.
