Preparing for Use
Please read these instructions carefully before using the appliance.
CAUTIONS TO NOTE BEFORE USING RICE COOKER:
Do not place or rest anything on top of the appliance or cover the air vent. This disrupts
the airflow and will aect the overall cooking result.
Keep all body parts away from the air vent to avoid being burnt by the emitted hot steam.
1. Place the appliance on a heat resistant stable, horizontal and level surface.
2. Only use this product with the correct AC voltage outlet. (For correct rated voltage,
see box and label featured at the bottom of rice cooker).
3. Press the power switch to the setting “O (Power O)” before plugging the
appliance into the mains. Do not turn on the appliance if the rice bowl is not in
the cooker, or when cooker is not being used. DISCLAIMER: The “KEEP WARM”
function operates whenever the cord is plugged in and the power switch is set to
“I (Power On)”.
4. Plug in the power cord. Please do not plug in the appliance until you are ready to

cooker, the cooking process will not begin.
5. If the switch button is dicult to press to your desired setting, do not try to force
the switch to move. The switch usually becomes sti when the rice bowl is not
securely positioned inside the Rice Cooker.
6. Place the lid, making sure it is securely fitted to your rice bowl whilst in operation;
keep the lid in place after serving to prevent your rice from drying out or
discolouring.
7. Keep the bottom of the rice bowl and the surface of the heater plate free of loose
grains of rice, residue and other potential items as this will encourage operating
malfunctions and decrease the appliances longevity.

SURFACE OF THE HEATER PLATE, THEN TURN THE RICE BOWL CLOCKWISE AND ANTI-

Using the Appliance
Note: A scale for water level, based on the number of cups of rice used, is provided
on the side of the rice bowl for time saving when adding water direct from the tap
or large jug. Only use the supplied cup for the rice measurement, although for 2 cups
and below it is recommended to use the cup for the water as better accuracy will be
obtained.
1. Using the measuring cup provided in the box, measure and add rice to the rice
bowl.
2. Add the correct amount of water to rice ratio (a ratio guide has been provided
below). You are able to use either the supplied cup or you can fill the bowl by
using the scale marked inside the rice bowl. The amount of water can be varied
depending on the result required.
Cups of Raw Rice Water
1 cup 1 – 1 1/4 cups
2 cups 2 – 2 1/2 cups
4 cups 4 – 5 cups
5 cups 5 – 6 cups
