How to use “GABA RICE (Brown rice)”

What is Germinated Brown rice?

Brown rice has richer nutrients than polished rice. However, brown rice is rather tough and hard to be digested. By germination, the enzymes in the brown rice are activated, generating nutrients, and are easier to digest.

Features of Germinated Brown Rice

• – Germinated brown rice increases nutrients and enhances taste, which is a weak point of brown rice. Germinated brown rice also improves digestion.
• ▶ Taste will be greatly enhanced.
• ▶ Easier to digest and is rich in nutrients. – Diabetic hormone is generated improving digestion.
• ▶ Good as a health food for children or adults. – Rich with dietary fiber.
• ▶ Germinated brown rice has rich GABA (Gamma Aminobutryc Acid) – GABA promotes metabolism in liver and kidneys, suppresses neutral fat, lowers blood pressure, promotes metabolism in brain cells - these effects have been proven by medical science.

Using “GABA RICE” Menu

1. In order to promote germination, soak brown rice for 16 hours in water.

   • Method of Pre-germination
   • Put washed brown rice in an appropriate container, pour sufficient amount of water to soak the rice.
   • Pre-germination shall not exceed 16 hours. Make sure to rinse the rice clean with flowing water before using “GABA RICE” menu. Be careful not to rinse too much or else the embyros that are required to germinate may wear off.
   • Unique smell may be generated according to the soaking time of pre-germination
   • When pre-germination has been completed, wash the rice and insert the inner pot. Pour appropriate amount of water and use “GABA RICE” menu.
   • During summer or hot temperature environment, an odor may be generated. Reduce germination time and wash clean when cooking.

2. Set the Lock/Unlock handle at Lock, press Menu/Selection button to select “GABA RICE”

   • When cooking brown rice with or without germination, select “Brown Rice” option and start cooking.

3. Press Pressure Cook/Glutin. Turbo button.

   • If you press the Pressure Cook/Glutin Turbo button, the brown rice will start to germinate for the set time and cooking will start after germination is complete.
   • When germinating the brown rice, remaining time will be displayed.

When the “GABA RICE” is selected, “3H” is indicated in the display

1. If smaller germ is preferred, omit pre-germination process. Select “GABA RICE” menu, set-up appropriate germination time, and start cooking (nutrients ingredients do not vary significantly by the size of germ).
2. During hot seasons, longer germination time may generate odor. Reduce germination time.
3. GABA RICE cooking feeds up to 4 people
4. City water can be used for germination. However, filtered or drinkable water is recommended. Germination may not be properly performed in hot or boiled water even after cooking.
5. Germination rate and germ growth may differ by the type of brown rice, condition, or period of storing. - The brown rice should be within 1 year from harvest, and not long since pounded.
6. In GABA RICE mode, preset on 3H may not be possible. If you want to preset the GABA RICE, set up BROWN RICE menu. (See the page 21)
7. The taste of rice could be different depending on a kind of brown rice. Use customized taste function or control the amount of water for your taste. (Refer to page 19)

For the Best Taste of Rice

For the best taste of rice, check the following points carefully.

• – When measuring the rice, use the measuring cup. (The amount of the rice may vary depending on the quality of the rice.) Place the inner pot on a flat surface and adjust the water to the water level in the inner pot.
• – If amount of water and amount of rice is different, the rice can be crisp or hard.
• – If possible, buy a small amount of rice and keep the rice some place where it can ventilate well and avoids a direct ray of light. It can help prevent evaporation of rice moisture. If the rice has been unsealed for long, rice can be dry and stale. In this case, you should pour half of water more. It's tastier.
• – If the rice is too dry, rice can be crisp even though it is measured properly.
• – If possible, do not use the preset time function when rice is too dry and pour half of water more. If you set “Preset” over the 10 hours or “Preset” dried rice, rice can be crisp or half cooked. Even in worse condition, rice can be cooked with different taste on each level.
• – If the preset time is longer, the melanoizing effect could be increased.
• – Wipe the top cover heating part well for any rice or external substance.
• – Especially clean the top of the cover for external substance.
• – If rice is kept warm for a long period of time, rice color will change, as well as odor.
• – It's better to set “warm” less than 12 hours.

Cautions for Keeping Warm

• – It will be hard to open the lid during warming, or right after it has finished cooking, So push the pressure weight to the side and allow the steam to release.
• – Make sure the handle is in the “Lock” position during warming or reheating.
• – It would be better to warm the rice for less than 12 hours because of odors and color change. The cooked rice, which cooked by pressure cooker, is more prone to changing color than the rice cooked by general cooker. During warm mode, the rice can rise and turn white. In this case, mix the rice.
• – It is recommended to evenly stir the cooked rice after cooking. The rice taste is improved. (For a small quantity of rice, pile up the rice on the center area of the inner pot to keep warm)
• – Do not keep the scoop inside the pot while warming the rice. When using a wooden scoop it can create serious bacteria and odors.
• – Do not keep the rice spatula inside the pot while warming the rice. When using a wooden rice spatula, it can create serious bacteria and odors.
• – Do not mix small amount of rice or leftovers with the rice under keeping warm. Doing so may cause an odor. (Use a microwave oven for the cold rice.)
• – The mixed and brown rice cannot be in such good condition as white rice while in warm function due to their characteristics. Therefore, do not keep mixed and brown rice in function for a long period of time.

When Odors are Rising During the Warming Mode

• – Clean the lid frequently. It can cause growth of bacteria and odors.
• – Even though exterior looks clean, there might be germs and it can cause odor so please be sure to use automatic sterilization (steam cleaning) menu for cleaning. Clean the inner pot completely after automatic cleaning function is done. (Refer to page 25)
• – Clean the inner pot properly to prevent rice from smelling after you cook soups and steamed dishes.

• – Within 10 minutes, the pressure regulator weight will start rattling and hissing while emitting stream. If there is no steam coming out from the pot other than through the pressure regulator weight the packing has been properly installed.
• – If steam comes out from other parts, stop the test and pull out the power cord. Wait until the pot cools down before removing the pressure packing from the lid. Once reinstalled repeat the boiling test.
• – For a more precise water boiling test, you can wrap plastic around the circumference of the closed Top Cover. By doing so, you can easily check where the steam leakage is.
• – If you still have a problem with reassembling the packing, please contact our Customer Service.
