RECOMMENDS
SAFETY FIRST
At Breville we 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.

3
•Do not operate the rice
cooker on a sink drain
board.
•Always ensure the
rice cooker is properly
assembled before use.
Follow the instructions
provided in this book.
•Always operate the rice
cooker on a stable and
heat resistant surface.
•Do not place the cooker
directly on a heat sensitive
bench top, such as a stone
bench top, when cooking.
This type of bench top is
heat sensitive to uneven
heat and may crack if
heated locally. To cook
on a heat sensitive bench
top, place a chopping
board or heat proof mat
underneath the cooker.
•Never plug in or switch
on the rice cooker without
having the removable
cooking bowl placed
inside the rice cooker
housing.
•Use the removable cooking
bowl supplied with the rice
cooker. Do not use any
other bowl inside the rice
cooker housing.
•Do not use a damaged,
cracked or dented
removable cooking bowl.
If damaged, cracked or
dented, replace bowl before
using.
•Before placing the
removable cooking bowl
into the rice cooker base
ensure the base of cooking
bowl and base of rice
cooker is dry by wiping
with a dry soft cloth.
•Do not place food or liquid
in the rice cooker housing.
Only the removable
cooking bowl is designed
to contain food or liquid.
•Do not place the removable
cooking bowl, when hot,
on any surface that may be
affected by heat.
•Never operate the rice
cooker without food and
liquid in the removable

Functions
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all promotional labels and any
packaging materials from the rice cooker.
Wash the removable cooking bowl, steaming
tray, measuring cup, serving spoon and glass
lid in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
HOW TO COOK RICE
1. Use the measuring cup provided to measure
required quantity of rice (refer to cooking
tables on page 11). Always measure level
cups, not heaped (Fig 1).
Fig. 1
NOTE
1 level Set & Serve measuring cup = 150 grams
uncooked rice
1 level Set & Serve cup uncooked rice = 2 Set &
Serve cups cooked rice (approx.)
The maximum quantity of uncooked white rice
to be cooked = 8 Set & Serve cups
The minimum quantity of uncooked white rice
to be cooked = 2 Set & Serve cups
CAUTION
When using the rice cooker, avoid any spillage
of water on the cooker as this may cause
damage to the rice cooker.
2. Place measured rice into a separate bowl
and wash by rinsing under cold water, to
remove any excess starch. The rice is ready
for cooking when the water runs clear.
3. Ensure the exterior of the removable cooking
bowl is clean and dry before placing it in the
outer housing, this will ensure proper contact
with the inner cooking surface (Fig 2).
Fig. 2
CAUTION
Always operate the rice cooker on a stable and
heat resistant surface.
4. Add 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).
Fig. 3
5. Add water using the following ratios:
White Rice
= 1 Set & Serve measuring cup water
: 1 Set & Serve measuring cup rice
Brown Rice
= 1½ Set & Serve measuring cups water
: 1 Set & Serve measuring cup rice
(Refer to table on page 11 for more
information)
6. Place glass lid into position on the cooking
bowl. The lid should sit level on the rim of
the bowl.

10
CAUTION
Never operate the rice cooker without food and
liquid in the removable cooking bowl.
CAUTION
Position the rice cooker so that the steam vent
is directed away from you. Lift and remove the
lid carefully to avoid scalding from escaping
steam.
CAUTION
Do not place your face or any other body part
over the rice cooker whilst in use as the steam
can cause serious burns.
7. Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V
power outlet and then switch the power on
at power outlet. The amber WARM light
will illuminate.
8. To commence cooking, press the selector
control. The red COOK light will illuminate.
9. When cooking is complete, the rice cooker
will automatically switch to the WARM
setting. The amber WARM light
will illuminate.
10. Open lid and fluff the rice with serving
spoon. Replace lid and allow rice to stand
for 10-15 minutes before serving. This
allows any excess moisture to be absorbed,
resulting in fluffier rice.
CAUTION
Do not touch hot surfaces; use dry oven mitts
to remove the lid and removable cooking bowl.
Lift and remove the lid carefully and away
from yourself to avoid scalding from escaping
steam.
NOTE
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 when fluffing the rice after cooking is
complete or as suggested in the recipes).
To stop the WARM setting, switch off at the
power outlet and then unplug power cord.
IMPORTANT
Always place liquid into removable cooking
bowl, or be ready to add oil, butter or
margarine, before depressing the selector
control to the COOK setting. Do not operate
with an empty cooking bowl.
Never try to force the selector control to stay
in the COOK setting after it has automatically
switched to the keep warm setting.
Do not interfere with automatic selector
control during operation.
To prevent scratching non-stick surface of
the removable cooking bowl or steaming tray,
always use wooden, silicon or plastic utensils.

Rice Cooking
Guide
The Set & Serve measuring cup provided
with your Breville Rice Cooker is used in the
following tables.
NOTE
The Set & Serve measuring cup is not a
standard metric measuring cup.
1 Set & Serve measuring cup is equal to 150g of
uncooked rice and 180ml of water.
1 Australian standard metric measuring cup is
equal to 200g of uncooked rice.
If your Set & Serve 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 to 1 cup rice
Brown rice = 1½ cups water to 1 cup rice.
TIPS
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 WARM setting for 20
minutes after cooking to absorb the remaining
moisture.

RICE VARIATIONS
• Savoury Rice: Prepare rice in the rice cooker
as specified, substituting all the water with
the same quantity of chicken, beef, fish, or
vegetable stock.
• Sweet Rice: Prepare rice in the rice cooker
as specified substituting half the water
with apple juice, orange juice or pineapple
juice. Cooking rice with milk or cream is
not recommended as it will burn onto the
bottom of removable cooking bowl.
• Saffron Rice: Add ¼ teaspoon of saffron
powder or 2 saffron threads to every 2 cups
of water. Use white rice cooking tables.
Mix well.
• Arborio Rice: Arborio rice is short
round-grained pearly rice often used for
Italian risotto cooking. Use brown rice
cooking tables.
• Jasmine Rice: Jasmine rice is fragrant long
grain rice. Use white rice cooking tables.
• Basmati Rice: Basmati rice is an aromatic
long grain rice. Use white rice cooking
tables.
• Wild Rice: It is not recommended to cook
wild rice alone in the rice cooker as it
requires a substantial amount of water. It
is possible to cook wild rice as a blend with
white or brown rice.

Steaming Guide
Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional
value when cooked in the rice cooker.
Foods may be steamed by placing food in
the steaming tray over stock or water and
covering with the glass lid. Keep 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 Set & Serve measuring cups or
more of water or stock into the removable
cooking bowl. Use up to a maximum of 6
Set & Serve 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 following pages for approximate
cooking times).
3. Place removable cooking bowl with
steaming tray into the outer housing and
cover with glass lid.
4. Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V
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. Food needs to be monitored
when steaming, as the rice cooker will not
automatically switch to WARM when the
food is cooked.
6. When steaming is complete, remove
the food from the rice cooker. If further
steaming is required, ensure that there is
sufficient liquid in the removable cooking
bowl. If more liquid is required, add hot
water or stock and continue cooking.
7. Turn the rice cooker off at the power outlet
and unplug power cord. Allow to cool before
cleaning.
NOTE
Do not let the removable cooking
bowl boil dry during steaming. Hot liquid can
be added during the steaming process.
CAUTION
Always lift and remove the lid carefully,
angling it away from yourself to avoid scalding
from escaping steam.
The following steaming tables are based on
using 3 Set & Serve measuring cups of water or
stock. This will take approximately 8 minutes
to reach boiling point.
