SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

is appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug

is intended to t into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.

If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

• A short power-supply cord has been provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping

over a longer cord.

• Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and should be used with caution.

• If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

- e marked electrical rating of the cord set or the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical

rating of the appliance.

- e cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on

by children or tripped over unintentionally.

RICE COOKING

e product itself determines the exact cooking time depending on the quantity of water and ingredients placed in

the insert.(see cooking table below for a guide)

• For best results, we recommend using ordinary rice rather than “easy cook” type rice which tends to give a stickier

rice and may adhere to the base.

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

one and a half 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. For best results cook 2 or more cups of rice.

e cooking times given in the following table are only approximate and for your guidance.

Measuring cups of

white rice Weight of white rice

(oz) Water level in the

insert ( + the rice) Serves Approximate

cooking time

2 11 2 cup mark 3-4 xx min

4 21 4 cup mark 5-6 xx min

6 32 6 cup mark 8-10 xx min

8 42 8 cup mark 13-14 xx min

10 53 10 cup mark 16-18 xx min

Recommendations for best results

• Measure out the rice and rinse it thoroughly under running water in a sieve for a long time (except for risotto rice

which should not be rinsed). en place the rice in the insert together with the corresponding amount of water.

• Make sure that the rice is well distributed around the whole surface of the insert, in order to allow even cooking.

• Add salt to taste.

• Water may be substituted for stock. If using stock, there is the risks of rice browning a bit on the bottom.

• Do not open the lid during cooking as steam will escape and this will aect the cooking time and the taste.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the steam basket for other function than steaming and without water in the bowl.

• Fill water in the bowl : the maximum amount of water in the bowl should not exceed the “STEAM” mark in

the bowl.

• Filling with water to the “STEAM” mark is sucient for about xx minutes cooking on steam program.

• Add the ingredients in the steam basket.

• Place the steam basket in the bowl.

• Close the lid.

• Turn the rotary switch to select the STEAM function.

• Enter the cooking time by pressing or

• en press to start cooking.
