Important
safety
instructions
The use of any electrical
appliance requires following
common sense safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of
personal injury and secondly
danger of damage to the
appliance and property. These
are indicated in the instructions
text by the following two
conventions:
WARNING: Danger of
personal injury
IMPORTANT: Damage to the
appliance
In addition we offer the
following essential safety advice.
Your safety
• Do not touch hot surfaces.
Use oven gloves or a cloth
when lifting lid or handling
hot containers as hot steam
will escape.
• To protect against fire,
electric shock and personal
injury do not immerse cord,
plugs, or appliance in water
or other liquid.
• Unplug from the socket when
not in use and before
cleaning.
• Do not operate with a
damaged lead or plug, or
after an appliance has
malfunctioned, or has been
dropped or damaged in any
way. Contact Burco
Appliances for advice on
examination, repair, or
electrical or mechanical
adjustment.
• Always use heat resistant
gloves to remove the inner
bowl and steamer from the
multicooker.
Location
• Do not use outdoors.
Mains lead
• The mains lead should reach
from the socket to the
multicooker without straining
the connections.
• Do not let the cord hang over
the edge of the table or the
counter and keep it away
from any hot surfaces.
•Do not let the lead run across
an open space e.g. between
a low socket and table.
Other safety
considerations
•The use of attachments or
tools not recommended by
Burco Appliances may cause
fire, electric shock or injury.
• When opening, keep away as
steam may be emitted.
•Do not use any parts in a
microwave or on any
cooking/heated surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot
gas or electric burner, or in a
heated oven.
• Do not wash rice in the pot
as it may deform and will
affect the cooking process.
•Never use the multicooker to
boil acid or alkaline foodstuff.
Do not leave it in a damp or
corrosive environment.
•Do not reheat cooked rice in
the multicooker.
•The use of sharp implements
inside the bowl may damage
the non-stick coating.
•Do not use the inner pot on a
hob to speed up the cooking
time.

bottom will not be in full
contact with the heating
plate and the element may
be damaged.

The markings on the inside
of the pot are for measuring the
amount of water and are given
in lines and a maximum - see
chart below.
The measuring cup „is the
equivalent of 900cc. All cup
quantities equate to full
measuring cups (900cc).
Cooking rice
& pasta
1Use the measuring cup to
measure the rice, filling level

IMPORTANT: Do not fill
above the 30 line level
indicated.
5Place the pot in the
multicooker ensuring that
there is no food or any
moisture on the outside of
the pot and turning slightly
from right to left until the pot
is properly positioned.
6Close the lid and press down
until the latch snaps shut.
7Connect the power cable ‰
to the power supply and
switch on at the wall socket.
The amber ‘warming’ light
‡will illuminate.
8Press the switch ·and the
multicooker will start, the
amber ‘warming’ light will go
out and the red ‘cooking’
light fl illuminate.
9When the food is done, the
cooker will turn off
automatically, the red
‘cooking’ lamp will then go
out and the amber
‘warming’ lamp will come on.
• For pasta it is not
recommended to utilise the
‘warming’ feature. Use
immediately or chill for
regeneration later.
10 Keep the lid on for about 10-
15 minutes to allow the food
to acquire a good
appearance and a full
flavour.
11 Open the lid by pushing the
lid release button Ëand
allow any condensation to
drip into the multicooker. Use
a spatula ‚to stir up the
food which is then ready to
eat. Keep the lid closed to
keep the heat in.
12 Switch off at the mains and
unplug the cooker. Remove
the pot to serve the food.
•Consume the food within 2
hours. Small quantities (3 to
4 cups) should be consumed
immediately.
•Food left to keep warm
should not be allowed to dry
out and should be stirred
occasionally otherwise it may
burn and stick to the pot. The
keep warm period should not
exceed 2 hours.
• Never take the pot out of the
multicooker when it is filled
with water.
• Cooking packet type savoury
rice is not recommended.
• 1 cup raw rice = 2 cups of
cooked rice.
Steaming
1Fill the inner pot with 1.5
litres of water.
2Place the steam insert ⁄in
the pot and put the
ingredients in.
3Close the lid.
4Switch to cooking.
• You can steam a variety of
vegetables, as long as they
are large enough not to fall
through the holes of the
steaming bowl.
• You can place the vegetables
on top of each other but
ensure that all the steam
holes are not blocked. Please
note that the top layer will
take longer to cook than the
bottom layer.
• For best cooking performance
we recommend using just a
single layer of food.
Tips for best
cooking
results
• Make sure that the rice and
pasta is spread over the
whole surface of the pot to
ensure even cooking.
•You may find that for your
5
own personal taste you need
to slightly adjust the amount
of water added. For a softer
rice add a little more water,
and for a firmer rice a little
less water.
• The cooking times may vary
according to the quantity
and type of rice or pasta
cooked.
• A thin crust of rice may form
on the base, particularly
when cooking Italian or easy-
cook type rice, or when
cooking smaller quantities.
Wiping half a teaspoon of oil
over the base may help
reduce this forming, but this
occurrence is not always
preventable.
• Fish and meat can be
steamed.
•When steaming meat, fish or
vegetables using the steamer
insert, the varying properties
of the food will alter the
times taken to cook it. As
such the food may be fully
cooked before it switches
over to the ‘warming’
function. Monitor the cooking
progress to ensure best
cooking results.
Cleaning
Before cleaning and
maintenance, switch the
appliance off, unplug it and
allow to cool.
1Wash removable items (inner
pot and steamer insert) in
warm soapy water using a
sponge or dishcloth and dry
well.
• If food has stuck, allow the
item to soak in hot soapy
water for a while before
washing it.
2Wipe the main unit and lid
with a damp cloth. Make sure
the heating plate is clean
and free of food or other
articles that could interfere
with correct functioning.
Residue can be removed by
gently scrubbing the heating
plate with a piece of steel
wool, then wipe and dry.
3Gently remove the water
collector Ê(fitted onto the
side of the cooker) by pulling
outwards. Discard the water
after each use. Clean and
replace.
• IMPORTANT: Do not immerse
the multicooker in water or
pour water into it for
cleaning.
• Ensure the area between the
main unit and inner pot is
always clean and free from
any rice or pasta particles etc.
This is important to ensure
proper contact between the
two.
•Do not use solvent or
abrasive cleaners.
• Look after the pot by using a
plastic or wooden spoon and
not a metal one so as to
avoid damaging the non-
stick coating.
• The non-stick coating will
discolour after a period of
use. This is normal and will
not affect your health or the
use of this cooker. The brown
marks and scratches that
may appear after many
hours of use are not a
problem. We guarantee that
the non-stick coating
complies with the standards
and regulations on materials
suitable for contact with
food.
