USING YOUR RICE COOKER

RICE COOKING

For all 8 functions

• Carefully wipe the outside of the bowl (especially the bottom). Make

sure that there are no foreign residues or liquid underneath the bowl

and on the hotplate – Fig.4.

• Place the bowl into the appliance – Fig.5, making sure that it is correctly

positioned.

• Slightly rotate the bowl in both directions, so as to ensure good contact

between the bottom of the bowl and the hotplate.

• Check that the condensation collector is correctly placed in position, if

not, please install it by pushing firmly into the groove – Fig.6.

• Close and lock the lid.

• Plug in the appliance.

• Do not switch on the appliance until all of the above stages have been

completed.

• Do not touch the heating plate when the product is plugged.

Never place your hand on the steam vent during cooking, as there is a

danger of burns. If you wish to change the selected cooking menu of

an error, press “CANCEL” key and choose the menu you want.

Never use the lid handle to transport the full product.

Only use the inner pot provided with the appliance.

Do not pour water or put ingredients in the appliance without the

bowl inside.

Measuring the ingredients - Max capacity of the bowl

• The graduated markings on the inside of the bowl are given in liters and

cups, these are used for measuring the amount of water when cooking

rice – Fig.7.

• The plastic cup provided with your appliance is for measuring rice and

the table states the quantity of rice required for the number of servings.

1 level measuring cup of rice weighs about 150 g.

• The table below gives a guide to cooking different kinds of rice. For best

results, we recommend using ordinary rice rather than ‘easy cook’ type

of rice which tends to give a stickier rice and may adhere to the base.

With other types of rice, such as brown or wild rice, the quantities of

water need adjustment check the table below.

• To cook 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large portion), use 1

measuring cup of white rice and then add 1 1/2 measuring cup of water.

With some types of rice it is normal for a little rice to stick on the base

when cooking 1 cup of rice. To cook other quantity of white rice, refer to

cooking guide below.

• The maximum quantity of water + rice should not exceed the 5,5 or

10 cup mark inside the bowl – Fig.7. Depending on the type of rice,

quantities of water may need adjustment. See the table below.

* The rice cooker will automatically determine the exact cooking time

depending on the quantity of water and rice placed in the bowl.

Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking except for risotto rice.

Some recommendations for best results when cooking rice

• Measure out the rice and rinse it thoroughly under running water
