KEY USING YOUR KENWOOD RICE
COOKER
1. Use the measuring cup provided to measure the desired
quantity of rice. As a guide one, cup of rice is sufficient for
one person, but this will vary according to individual tastes.
Fill the cup with rice levelling the top.
2. Thoroughly wash the rice in several changes of clean water
and drain. Failure to do so may cause poor results and /or a
build up of steam within the appliance. Do not wash the rice in
the inner bowl as you may damage it. Some types of rice may
need to be soaked before cooking. Follow instructions on the
rice packet.
3. Transfer the rice to the inner bowl and level the surface of the
rice. Add suicient cold water to the corresponding level marked
on the bowl e.g. to cook 4 cups of rice, place the washed rice into
the inner bowl and then ll with water up to the 2 cups level.
Minimum capacity is 2 cups.
You may find that for your own personal taste you need to
slightly adjust the amount of water added. For a soer rice add
a little more water, and for a rmer rice little less water.

4. Transfer the inner bowl to the rice cooker ensuring that there
is no rice or any moisture on the outside of the bowl.
5. Cover with the lid, ensuring that the vent hole in the lid is
situated away from the operator.
6. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the power supply.
Depress the control lever to the "COCINAR" position and the
cook light will glow.
7. Once the rice is cooked, the appliance will automatically
switch to the "CALENTAR" position and the keep warm light will
glow. Leave the appliance on this setting for at least 15 minutes
without liing the lid.
8. Remove the lid and use the spatula provided to fluff
up the rice which is then ready to eat. Replace the lid as
quickly as possible. Consume the stirred rice within 1 hour.
Small quantities i.e. 2 to 3 cups of rice should be consumed
immediately aer stirring.
9. If the rice is to be kept for a longer period of time, then it
should be left and only stirred prior to consumption the keep
warm period should not exceed 2 hours. During this time the lid
should not be lied.
10. Should the inner bowl be lifted whilst the cooker is in
operation, the appliance will automatically switch to warm. To
re-commence cooking, replace the bowl and reset the control
button to "COCINAR ".
11 .Aer use, switch o at the power point and remove the plug
from the power supply.
TO COOK VEGETABLES
1. Pour the required quantity of water into the inner bowl. The
amount of water affects the length of steaming time and you
should refer to the list for guidance.
2. Place the food to be steamed in the steaming basket
and place the steaming basket in the top of the inner bowl.
Vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and peeled as
required.
3. Cover with the lid and switch on the appliance, as directed for
cooking rice.
4. Once all the water has steamed away, the appliance will
automatically switch to warm and the light will glow.
5. When removing the steaming basket, hold the handles using

05
heat resistant gloves.
6. It is possible to cook rice and to steam foods simultaneously.
You will need to experiment to establish appropriate amounts
of water and cooking time for various combinations

HINTS
• Cooking times are approximate and are affected by size
and temperature of food and the degree of cooking desired.
Water amounts may adjusted.
• If the steaming stops before the food is suiciently cooked,
add cold water to the inner bowl, replace food and cover.

06
Restart the cooking until food 1s adequately cooked.
• Accumulated steam allows foods to continue cooking even
aer the appliance has switched o. Remove food prompty
to avoid over-cooking.
• Small items cook faster than larger ones. Food of uniform
size will cook more evenly.
• Altitude aects the temperature at which water boils and thus
the cooking time. At high altitude longer cooking times are
needed.
IMPORTANT
• Small quantities of rice (3 or less cups) should be consumed
immediately aer stirring.
• Do not keep rice warm for longer than two hours.
• Do not interfere with the automatic switch mechanism
by preventing it from switching to the warm cycle. Do not
immediately depress the switch to cook once it has begun the
warm cycle.
• Ensure that the area between the rice cooker and inner bowl
is always clean and free from any rice particles etc. This is
important to ensure proper contact between the two.
• Always use heat resistant gloves to remove the inner bowl
from the appliance.
• The rice must be thoroughly washed before using.
• During cooking, certain varieties of rice may cause a build
up of steam within the appliance resulting in some spitting
from under the lid. If this happens carefully li the lid to allow
excess steam to escape and then replace.
• On removing the rice from the inner bowl, a small amount of
golden coloured rice may be noted on the base of the bowl.
this is normal, allow the bowl to cool, fill with warm soapy
water and allow to soak which will loosen the rice and make
cleaning easier.
• Do not reheat cooked rice in the rice cooker.
• Do not li the lid during the keep warm period.
• If ingredients are to be added to cooked rice, they must be
thoroughly cooked as appropriate, and the rice should be
consumed immediately.
• We do not recommend the use of the rice cooker for cooking
packet type savoury rice.
• The use of sharp implements inside the bowl may damage the
non-stick coating.
CLEANING
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Wipe the
outside of the appliance with a damp cloth then polish with a
dry one.

07
Wash the inner bowl and lid in hot soapy water. A so bristled brush may be used to remove any rice stuck to the bowl. Dry the bowl
thoroughly. Some staining of the inner bowl may occur with use.
