What is the keep warm mode and how do I use it?

After cooking completes, the rice cooker automatically switches to Regular Keep Warm mode, which keeps rice warm at a higher temperature so it develops odors less easily. You can also select Extended Keep Warm mode by pressing the KEEP WARM button, which maintains the temperature slightly lower for longer storage. Rice can be kept warm for up to 12 hours in Regular mode or 24 hours in Extended mode.
