cooker-step-by-step-instructions.html
You need :
 Rice cooker

Directions :

 Add the rice to the rice cooker pot. Read the directions on the rice
package, and measure rice according to these instructions. Use a
regular measuring cup for this step, since rice cookers sometimes
come with non-standard measuring devices. 
 Add the amount of water specified on the rice package. Be careful
not to fill the cooker beyond the overfill line. 
 Put the rice cooker pot into the cooker unit, and cover the pot with
the lid. Most cookers come with a tight-fitting lid, but if your lid is too
loose, consider adding a layer of alumunium foil. 
 Plug in the cooker and push the button to start cooking rice. If your
cooker has a timer, you may choose to have the rice cook at a later
point in the day. Some higher-end units include a warmer, which will
help the rice stay warm after it has finished cooking. While the rice is
cooking, refrain from lifting the lid to check on it.

sound.
