- Next, insert the plug into the socket and switch the appliance to the 'cook' position by pressing the
switch.
- After a while the rice boiler will automatically switch over to the 'warm' position. Leave the rice for
another 5-10 minutes with the lid closed, to allow it to cook properly.
Some 'rice tips':
- If desired, the rice may be washed beforehand. Rice that has been washed will stick less to the pan,
but it loses some of its nutritional value.
- If the rice sticks to the pan (with certain types of rice this is almost inevitable), you can lightly oil
the inner pan with salad oil, olive oil, or any other kind of vegetable oil.
- For a softer end result, soak the uncooked rice for 5-10 minutes in the water in the inner pan, before
switching on the rice cooker.
2. Preparation of precooked rice (quick boiling rice).
The method of preparation is the same as for normal rice, but the ratio between the amount of water
and rice is different. There is no hard and fast rule for this as every rice producer uses a different
precooking time and method. The quantities of water and rice used should therefore be as instructed
on the packaging of the rice. Proceed then as follows:
- Put the amount of water indicated into the pan and switch the pan on to the 'cook' position. The rice
should be added as soon as the water is boiling.
- Boil the rice for the time indicated on the packaging. Then, switch off the rice cooker by removing
the plug from the socket.
- Follow the instructions on the packaging. Usually the rice should be left to stand for about 15
minutes, sometimes with the lid closed, after which the water should be drained.
CLEANING
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE APPLIANCE BEFORE CLEANING.
Use a damp cloth to wipe off the outer pan. Make sure the pan is completely dry before reconnecting it to
the socket. If necessary dry the electric connection on the side with a piece of kitchen roll, for example.
The other parts can be cleaned in warm soapy water. Do not use any abrasive cleaning products or scourers.
Cleaning tip: pour a cup of water and a drop of dish washing liquid in the inner pan. Switch the pan onto
the 'cook' position and leave it for about 10 minutes. Then switch it off and rinse thoroughly.
PRINCESS TIPS
- Never put water into the outer pan.
- Make sure that the inner pan does not boil over as this will allow water into the outer pan. If this
does happen, first remove the plug from the socket, then use oven gloves to take the inner pan out of
the outer pan, pour the water out of the outer pan and allow it to cool down.
- Never immerse the outer pan or cord in water or any other liquid.
- Always remove the plug from the socket before cleaning or if any fault develops.
The pan should also be unplugged when not in use.
- The pan and the various parts get very hot; make sure that children do not come near it, and be
careful yourself as well. Only pick up the pan using the handle.
- Ensure that the appliance is not so close to the edge of a table, counter top, etc., that someone could
knock it over. Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge or on the floor, as someone may become
entangled or trip over it.
- Do not use the appliance if it is damaged or if the cable is damaged. Instead, send it to
our service department .
- Do not place the appliance on or directly adjacent to a warm hotplate or other source
of heat.
- Plug the pan only into an earthed socket.
- This pan is intended for normal household use only.
- Do not use any vinegar or excessive amounts of salt in the inner pan as this will
affect the coating.
