Breville recommends safety first
We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you,
our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition, we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any
electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.
Important safeguards for your Breville ice Master
•Carefully read all instructions before operating and
save for future reference.
•Remove any packaging material and promotional
stickers before using the Rice Master for the
first time.
•Do not place the Rice Master near the edge of a
bench or table during operation. Ensure the surface
is level, clean and free of water.
•Do not place the Rice Master on or near a hot gas
or electric burner, or where it could touch a heated
oven. Place appliance at least 20cm away from
walls and curtains.
•Do not use on metal surfaces, for example, a sink

Before first use, remove all promotional labels and
any packaging materials and wash the non-stick
removable cooking bowl, steaming tray and glass lid
in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
How to cook rice
Step 1
Use the Rice Master measuring cup provided to
measure the required quantity of rice (refer to
cooking tables on page 9). Always measure level
cups, not heaped (Fig 1).
1 level Rice Master measuring cup = 140grams
uncooked rice
1 level Rice Master cup uncooked rice = 2 Rice
Master cups cooked rice (approx.)
The maximum quantity of uncooked white rice
to be cooked = 8 Rice Master cups
The minimum quantity of uncooked white rice
to be cooked = 2 Rice Master cups
Note
Step 2
Place the rice into a separate bowl and wash rice by
rinsing with cold water to remove any excess starch.
The rice is ready for cooking when water runs clear
from the rice.
Step 3
Ensure the exterior of the removable cooking bowl
is clean before placing it in the outer housing, this
will ensure proper contact with the inner cooking
surface. (Fig 2).
Fig 1 Fig 2

Operating your Breville ice Master continued
Step 4
Add the washed rice to the removable cooking bowl,
ensuring rice is spread evenly across the bottom of
the bowl and not heaped to one side (Fig 3).
Step 5
Add water using the following ratios:
White Rice = 1 cup water : 1 cup rice
Brown Rice = 11⁄2cups water : 1 cup rice
(Refer to table on page 9 for more information)
Step 6
Place the glass lid into position.
Step 7
Plug into a 230/240 volt power outlet and then
switch the power on at power outlet. The amber
‘Warm’ light will illuminate.
Step 8
To commence cooking, depress the Selector Control.
The red ‘Cook’ light will illuminate.
Step 9
When cooking is complete, the Rice Master will
automatically switch to the ‘ eep Warm’ setting.
The amber ‘Warm’ light will illuminate.
Step 10
Open the lid and turn the rice over with the serving
spoon provided. Replace the lid and allow the rice to
stand for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows
any excess moisture to be absorbed, resulting in a
fluffier rice texture.
Rice can be kept in the automatic ‘Keep Warm’
setting for up to 5 hours.
Do not remove the glass lid until ready to serve
(except for when turning over rice after cooking
is complete or as suggested in the recipes).
To stop the ‘Keep Warm’ setting, switch off at
the power outlet and then unplug the cord.
Note
Important
•Always place liquid into the removable cooking bowl,
or be ready to add oil, butter or margarine, before
depressing the Selector Control to the ‘Cook’ setting.
•Never try to force the Selector Control to stay in the
‘Cook’ setting after it has automatically switched to
the ‘ eep Warm’ setting.
•Do not interfere with the automatic Selector Control
during operation.
•To prevent scratching the non-stick surface of the
removable cooking bowl or steaming tray, always
use wooden or plastic utensils.

ALWAYS LIFT AND REMOVE THE LID CAREFULLY, ANGLING IT AWAY FROM YOURSELF TO AVOID
SCALDING FROM ESCAPING STEAM.

ice cooking tables
9
The rice measuring cup provided with your Breville
Rice Master is used in the following tables.
The Rice Master measuring cup is not a standard
metric measuring cup.
1 Rice Master measuring cup is equal to 140g of
uncooked rice and 175 ml of water.
1 Australian standard metric measuring cup is
equal to 200g of uncooked rice.
If your Rice Master measuring cup is lost or
misplaced, use another cup but maintain the
same cooking ratios and ensure you do not
exceed the 8 cup maximum line in the
removable cooking bowl:
White rice = 1 cup water : 1 cup rice
Brown rice = 11⁄2cups water : 1 cup rice
Note
White rice
Brown rice
Add a little extra water for fluffier rice and a
little less water for firmer rice.
Washed rice will have some extra water adhering
after rinsing. This extra water will extend the
cooking time slightly. Reduce the measured
amount of water to compensate, if required.
Some rice varieties may require more water for
cooking, such as wild rice blends, Arborio rice or
short grain rice. Follow the directions on the
packet or use the brown rice cooking table.
Due to the additional water needed to cook
brown rice, some starchy water bubbles may rise
to the lid while cooking. For best results, wash
brown rice before cooking and allow to stand on
the ‘Keep Warm’ setting for 20 minutes after
cooking to absorb the remaining moisture.

Steaming foods
11
Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value
when cooked in the Rice Master. Foods may be
steamed by placing food in the steaming tray over
stock or water and covering with the glass lid. eep
the glass lid on while steaming food unless the recipe
or chart specifically states to remove the lid. By
removing the lid unnecessarily steam is lost and the
cooking time will be extended.
1. Measure 3 Rice Master cups or more of water or
stock into the removable cooking bowl. Use up to
a maximum of 6 Rice Master cups of water.
2. Place food to be steamed directly onto the
steaming tray and insert into the removable
cooking bowl. (Refer to the Steaming Charts on
the pages 12-13 for approximate cooking times).
3. Place removable cooking bowl with the steaming
tray into the outer housing and cover with the
glass lid.
4. Plug into a 230/240-volt power outlet and then
switch on. The amber ‘Warm’ light will illuminate.
5. Push the Selector Control down to begin cooking.
The red ‘Cook’ light will illuminate.
6. When steaming is complete, the amber ‘Warm’
light will illuminate. Remove foods from the Rice
Master. If further steaming is required ensure
sufficient water is in the removable cooking
bowl. If not, add more hot water or stock.
7. Turn the Rice Master off at the power outlet and
then unplug. Allow to cool before cleaning.
Do not let the removable cooking bowl boil dry
during steaming. Hot liquid can be added during
the steaming process.

even cooking.
•Fresh or frozen vegetables may be steamed.
•If steaming frozen vegetables, do not thaw
before cooking.
•The size and shape of vegetables, as well as
personal taste, may call for adjustments to the
cooking time. If softer vegetables are required,
allow extra cooking time.
•Do not allow water or stock to reach the steaming
tray. The steaming will not be effective.

Care and cleaning
Switch the Rice Master off at the power outlet and
then unplug. Allow all parts to cool before removing
the removable cooking bowl. Wash the removable
cooking bowl, steaming tray and glass lid in hot,
soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Breville does not recommend that any parts of your
Rice Master are washed in a dishwasher as harsh
detergents and hot water temperatures may stain or
distort the removable cooking bowl and accessories.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or
metal scouring pads as these can damage the
non-stick surface.
The outer housing can be wiped over with a damp
cloth and then dried thoroughly.
If rice has cooked onto the bottom of the
removable cooking bowl, fill the bowl with hot,
soapy water and leave to stand for
approximately 10 minutes before cleaning.
That’s the idea™

DO NOT IMMERSE THE OUTER HOUSING OR POWER CORD IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID
AS THIS MAY CAUSE ELECTROCUTION.
