If smaller germ is preferred, omit pre-germination process. Select “GABA” menu, set-up appropriate
germination time, and start cooking (nutrient ingredients do not vary significantly by the size of germ).
During hot seasons, longer germination time may generate odor. Reduce germination time.
GABA cooking is allowed up to 6 persons in an 8 persons capacity jar, 4 persons in a 6 persons jar.
City water can be used for germination. However, spring water is recommended. Germination may not
be properly performed in hot or boiled water even after cooling.
Germination rate, germ growth may differ by the Brown rice kind, condition or period of storing, etc.
- Germinated brown rice is sprouted brown rice. Germination rate and growth may differ by the Brown
rice kind.
The brown rice should be within 1 year from harvest, and not long since pounded.
Put washed brown rice in an appropriate container, pour sufficient water to soak the rice.
Pre-germination shall not exceed 16 hours. Make sure to wash rice clean with flowing water before using
“GABA” menu. Be careful that too hard washing may take off embryos which generate the germination.
Unique smell may be generated according to the soaking time of pre-germination.
When pro-germination has been completed, wash the rice and put in inner pot (Oven).
Pour appropriated volume of water, and use “GABA” menu.
In summer or hot temperature environment odor may be generated. Reduce germination time and wash clean
when cooking.
When the “GABA” is selected,
“2H” is indicated in the display.
Pressing button increases
germination time by 2 hour.
Pressing button decreases
germination time by 2 hour.
GABA time can be set-up by
