The Zojirushi NL-GAC10-BM is a Metallic Black household Umami Micom rice cooker and warmer with a maximum uncooked white-rice capacity of 5.5 rice-measuring cups, or 1.0 liter. Microcomputer-based fuzzy-logic control adjusts cooking time and temperature. The Umami program extends the soaking and steaming stages for short- or medium-grain white rice.

White, Umami, quick white, sushi, Jasmine and Quick Jasmine batches range from 1 to 5.5 supplied rice cups. Mixed, sweet, brown, GABA Brown, porridge and congee have separate limits. Measure raw rice with the supplied approximately 180 mL cup and use the correct menu and water line; the maximum capacity is not a cooked yield or serving count.

The black 1.5 mm nonstick inner pan works with a direct-heating system. The inner lid is detachable and washable, and the included basket supports steaming. A front LCD panel provides a clock, two finish-time memories for eligible rice menus and melody, beep or silent signals. The supplied power cord detaches from the cooker.

GABA Brown adds an approximately two-hour activation stage before cooking short- or medium-grain brown rice. Slow Cook is a separate program with a one-minute to four-hour timer; use the manual’s recipes and keep ingredients below the SLOW COOK MAX line. Do not use rice Keep Warm or Reheat for slow-cooked food.

For standalone steaming, set 1–60 minutes, including the time needed to heat the water. Keep food within the manual’s 1-1/2-inch / 3.5 cm height limit. The reduced-capacity rice-and-food method uses the White menu and 1 cup of rice. Remove steamed food at completion; Steam does not use Keep Warm.

Regular Keep Warm is limited to eligible rice for up to 12 hours. Extended Keep Warm returns to Regular after eight hours and is unavailable for brown or GABA Brown rice. Do not hold mixed rice, porridge, congee or sweet rice in Keep Warm. Reheat is for already-warm white rice within its marked pan-level limit, not cold rice or other foods.
