OPERATION

Before first use

Before using your cooker for the
first time, wash and dry the bowl
and lid.
Assembly
Assemble as shown A.
• Be sure to keep the space between
the pot and the heating plate clean
and free of water drops, dust, rice
grains or any other foreign matter. If
not, the cooker's performance will
be affected and the element could
possibly burn out.
• Do not slant the pot, otherwise it's
bottom will not be in full contact
with the heating plate and the
element may burn out.
• Do not switch the power on until
ready to cook.

Cooking rice

1 Use the measuring beaker provided
to measure the rice, filling level to
the top. As a guide, one cup of rice
is sufficient for one person, but this
will vary according to individual
taste.
2 Thoroughly wash the rice in several
changes of water and drain. Failure
to do so may cause poor results
and/or a build-up of steam within
the cooker. Do not wash the rice in
the inner bowl as it may be
damaged.
3 Transfer the rice to the inner bowl
and level the surface. The markings
on the inside of the bowl are for
measuring the amount of water and
are given in litres and cups. Add
cold water to the corresponding
level marked on the inside of the
bowl. For example, to cook 6 cups
of rice, place the washed rice into
the inner bowl and then fill with
water up to the six cup level.
• Minimum capacity is 4 cups,
maximum is 10 cups.
• Never fill with water straight from
the tap, use the measuring beaker.

IMPORTANT: Do not fill above the
top level indicated.
4 Place the inner bowl in the cooker,
ensuring that there is no rice or any
moisture on the outside of the bowl.
5 Cover with the lid, ensuring that the
vent hole in the lid is situated away
from you.
6 Plug the cooker into the power
supply. The amber pilot will light up.
7 Press down the switch and the
cooker will start. The blue light will
come on and the amber light will go
off.
Note: During cooking, it is normal
for the lid to rise up slightly and
water to bubble around the edge.
8 The cooker knows when the food is
done by measuring temperature and
weight. When the food is done, the
main heater will turn off
automatically and the cooker will
switch into 'keep warm'. The blue
light will go out and the amber light
will go on to indicate keep warm.
9 Food left to keep warm should not
be allowed to dry out and should be
stirred occasionally, otherwise it
may burn and stick to the bowl.
Never leave the cooker on keep
warm for more than two hours.
10 Carefully lift the lid and allow any
condensation to drip into the
cooker. Use the spatula to fluff up
the rice. Replace the lid as quickly
as possible. Consume the stirred
rice within 1 hour. Small quantities
(3 to 4 cups) should be consumed
immediately.
11 Switch off at the mains and unplug
the mains cable. Remove the bowl
to serve the food.
• Never take the bowl out of the
cooker when it is filled with water.
• We do not recommend cooking
packet type savoury rice.
