Makesureyourricecookerisswitchedoffandunpluggedfromthemains
supplysocketbeforecleaning.Neverimmersethebaseofthecookerbody,cordor
plug in water or any other liquid.
Before using your rice cooker for the rst time, wash the steaming tray, removable
bowl and glass lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh
abrasives, chemicals or oven cleaners.
Using a damp cloth or sponge, wipe the exterior and interior of the cooker body. Use a
mild detergent solution. Dry thoroughly.
Positioning
Position the rice cooker on a dry, at, secure, heat resistant surface close to a mains
supply socket.
Leave a clear space of at least 100mm (4”) all around the rice cooker and keep it as far
back from the edge of the work surface as possible.
Do not position the rice cooker underneath anything such as a shelf or cupboard, and
place away from curtains, wall coverings, or other ammable materials and never cover.
Apart from the possible risk of re, the steam given off by the cooking process may mark
or damage anything above the cooker.
Place your rice cooker close to a wall socket. When connected, ensure that the power
cord does not overhang the work surface or is positioned where it might be caught
accidentally.
Provide adequate ventilation when using the rice cooker.

Cookingrice
Makesureyourricecookerisswitchedoff,unpluggedatthemainssupply
socketandisfullycooledbeforeassemblingordisassembling.Duringusethe
glasslid,removablebowlandcookerbodywillgetveryhot.Alwayshandlewith
care and use oven gloves.
Alwayscheckthatthericeisthoroughlycookedbeforeserving.
1. Place the removable bowl inside your rice cooker’s base. Ensure the bowl is
positioned correctly before continuing.
2. Use the supplied measure to measure the required quantity of rice into a container
for washing. For accuracy, always ll the measure with rice until it is level with the
surface of the measure. Don’t use heaped measures. For quantities see the rice
cooking guide on page 10.
3. Wash the rice thoroughly under cold running water. This will remove the excess
starch from the rice and produce better results when cooking. Add the washed rice to
the removable bowl.
4. Using the supplied measure, add the required quantity of water to the removable
bowl. Make sure that the bowl is not lled above the maximum level marking. Spread
the rice evenly across the bottom of the bowl.
5. Place the glass lid onto the removable bowl.
6. Plug your rice cooker into a suitable mains supply socket. The keep warm light will
illuminate.
7. Move the cook/keep warm selector switch to the down (cook) position. The cook light
will illuminate.
When the cooking time has elapsed, move the cook/keep warm selector to the up (keep
warm) position. The keep warm light will illuminate.
When the cooking time has elapsed, your rice is not quite done. Rice benets from a ‘boil-
steam’ method of cooking. Allow your rice to stand for 10-15 minutes in your rice cooker
with your cooker switched to the keep warm setting before serving.
After the rice has rested for 10 to 15 minutes, remove the lid and stir the rice gently with
the serving spoon. If the rice is not done, re-cover and let it stand in the keep warm mode
until it is ready. Do not leave your rice cooker on the keep warm setting for longer than
one hour.
If your rice cooker is left unattended, it will automatically switch to the keep warm mode.
Afteruse
After use, unplug your rice cooker from the supply socket. Yourricecookerdoesnot
switch off automatically.

handle with care and use oven gloves.
Alwayscheckthatthevegetablesarethoroughlycookedbeforeserving.
1. Place the removable bowl inside your rice cooker’s base. Ensure the bowl is
positioned correctly before continuing.
2. Use the supplied measure, add a minimum of 3 measures of water and a maximum
of 6 measures of water. Don’t under or over ll your rice cooker as it may be
damaged.
3. Fit the steamer tray. Add the vegetables to the steamer tray. Make sure that some
of the steam holes in the steamer tray remain uncovered to allow the steam to
penetrate the vegetables. Don’t overll the steamer tray otherwise the vegetables
may be unevenly cooked.
4. Place the glass lid onto your rice cooker.
5. Plug your rice cooker into a suitable mains supply socket. The keep warm light will
illuminate.
6. Move the cook/keep warm selector switch to the down (cook) position. The cook light
will illuminate.
Unless your recipe states otherwise, avoid removing the lid before the cooking time has
elapsed. Removing the lid unnecessarily will result in a loss of steam and the cooking
time will need to be extended.
Steam the vegetables for the appropriate time. For cooking times see the steam cooking
guide on page 11.
If your rice cooker is left unattended, it will automatically switch to the keep warm mode.
If further steaming is required ensure there is sufcient water in the bowl. Add more water
or stock as required and replace the steaming tray and glass lid. Move the cook/keep
warm selector switch to the down (cook) position. The cook light will illuminate.
Afteruse
After use, unplug your rice cooker from the supply socket. Yourricecookerdoesnot
switch off automatically.

Tips
• Add a little extra water for ufer rice and a little less water for rmer rice.
• Some rice varieties may require more water for cooking, such as wild 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 be visible during cooking. For best results, thoroughly wash the rice before
cooking and keep warm for 10-15 minutes after cooking to absorb the remaining
moisture.
