using your rice cooker

1 Use the measuring cup provided to
measure the desired quantity of
rice. As a guide one cup of rice is
sufficient for one person, but this
will vary according to individual
tastes.
Fill the cup with rice levelling the
top .
2 Thoroughly wash the rice in several
changes of clean water and drain.
Failure to do so may cause poor
results and/or a build up of steam
within the appliance. Do not wash
the rice in the inner bowl as you
may damage it.
3 Transfer the rice to the inner bowl
and level the surface of the rice.
Add sufficient cold water to the
corresponding level marked on the
bowl e.g. to cook 3 cups of rice,
place the washed rice into the
inner bowl and then fill with water
up to the 3 cup level.
