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 possibly
the element could 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 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 red light will come on and
the amber light will go off.
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. The red lamp
will then go out and the amber lamp will
go on. During cooking it is normal for the
lid to rise up slightly and water to bubble
around the edge.
9 At the end of the cooking time the cooker
switches to 'keep warm'.
10 Carefully lift the lid and allow any
condensation to drip into the cooker. Use
the spatula to fluff up the rice which is
then ready to eat. Replace the lid as
quickly as possible. Consume the stirred
rice within 1 hour. Small quantities (3 to 4
cups) should be consumed immediately.
• 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. The keep warm period
should not exceed 2 hours.
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.
• Never leave the cooker on keep warm for
more than two hours.
