 The use of any accessory not supplied by the manufacturer is not recommended and
in some cases may cause electric shock or injury.
 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they are supervised or have been given instruction concerning the use of the Rice
Cooker by a person responsible for their safety.
 Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
 To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the Rice Cooker.
Should the appliance need repair, return to the place of purchase or have a qualified

 We recommend inspecting the Rice Cooker regularly for damage to the cord set,
cooking bowl, outer housing and plug. Should the Rice cooker need repair, return to
the place of purchase or have a qualified service technician examine and repair.
 Never plug in or switch on the Rice Cooker without having the removable cooking bowl
in place. As a safety precaution, the Rice Cooker will not switch into “Cook” mode if the
cooking bowl and lid are not correctly in place.
 To avoid the risk of burns do not come into contact with hot parts, hot water and
steam, particularly when removing the lid after cooking.
 Never put liquid into the outer housing. Only the removable cooking bowl is designed
to contain liquid.
 Do not touch hot surfaces; use oven mitts if removing the cooking bowl. We
recommend allowing the cooking bowl to cool before removing from the outer housing.
 Do not allow condensation from the lid to drip into the housing, only into the removable
cooking bowl.
 Do not move the Rice Cooker during use.
• Do not leave the Rice Cooker unattended when in use.
 Ensure the power is switched off at the power outlet and the cord is unplugged before
moving the appliance, when not in use and prior to cleaning or storing.
 Allow all parts to cool fully prior to disassembling the Rice Cooker for cleaning.
 Do not use the Rice Cooker on metal surfaces.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Ensure any labels, tags or stickers that may be attached to the housing or inner
cooking bowl of the Rice Cooker are removed.
Wash the cooking bowl, the lid, measuring cup and spatula in warm soapy water
and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners on any part
of the appliance. Never immerse the outer housing, cord set or plug in water or
any other liquid.

Note: The measuring cup supplied with your Goldair Rice Cooker is not a standard
metric measuring cup. The Goldair Rice Cooker measuring cup equates to 160g
of uncooked rice and approximately 150ml of water.
6. Wash your rice prior to cooking. When the water runs clear from the rice the rice is
ready to cook.
7. Ensure the cooking bowl is correctly placed in the Rice Cooker’s outer housing and
is sitting flat.
8. Place the washed into the removable cooking bowl, ensuring the rice is evenly
spread across the base of the bowl.
9. Depending on the type of rice you are cooking, add water as follows:
White Rice – 1 cup of rice : 1 cup of water
Brown Rice – 1 cup of rice : 1 ½cups of water
10. Place the glass lid on top of the cooking bowl.
11. Plug your Rice Cooker into a 220-240V power outlet.
12. Move the selector switch to the “Cook” position so the red light illuminates.
13. The rice will take approximately 20 minutes to cook, when complete the selector
switch will automatically move to the “Keep Warm” position and the amber light will
illuminate.
14. Carefully remove the lid, taking care not to come into contact with steam and fluff
the rice with the spatula.
15. Replace the lid and let the rice stand for 10 -15 minutes prior to serving.
16. If you do not wish to serve the rice immediately, replace the lid, leave the Rice
Cooker plugged in, with the selector switch set to “Keep warm” for up to 5 hours.
17. When finished with the rice cooker, unplug and allow to cool fully before cleaning.
OPERATING YOUR RICE COOKER

1. Ensure the cooking bowl is completely dry on the outside and clean on the inside.
2. Position the Rice Cooker on a dry, stable, level work surface away from the edge.
3. Ensure the cord is fully unwound and not overhanging an edge as this is a hazard.
4. Ensure the Rice Cooker’s control panel is clean and dry.
5. Measure rice using the measuring cup supplied with your Rice Cooker. Calculate
your requirements, using the table below.
AMOUNT OF RICE TO USE IN YOUR GOLDAIR RICE COOKER
1 Level Measuring Cup of uncooked
rice
160g of uncooked Rice
1 Level Measuring Cup (160g) of
uncooked rice
Approximately 2 Measuring Cups of cooked rice.
Minimum amount of rice to use in your
Goldair Rice Cooker
2 Level Measuring Cups of uncooked rice.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Use only wooden or plastic utensils on the non-stick surface.
Place liquids only in the removable cooking bowl, adding oil, butter, margarine or any
flavorings before moving the selector switch to the “Cook” setting.
Never try to force the selector switch to the “Cook” setting after it has automatically
switched to “Keep Warm” mode after cooking.
Do not interfere with the selector switch during operation.
CARE & CLEANING
The Cooking bowl, lid, measuring cup and spatula should be washed in warm soapy
water after every use. Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners or metal scouring
pads. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
If rice has been cooked onto the bottom of the bowl, fill the bowl with hot, soapy water
and let stand for about 10 minutes before washing.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF BURNS DO NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH HOT
PARTS, HOT WATER OR STEAM, PARTICULARLY WHEN REMOVING THE LID
AFTER COOKING.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, COOK ONLY IN THE REMOVABLE
COOKING BOWL.
For a fluffier result from your rice, use slightly more water than indicated. For firmer
rice use less water.
Some types of rice may require extra water for cooking (i.e. wild rice and short grain
rice). Follow instructions on the packet. Brown rice is best if washed prior to cooking.
If additional ingredients have been added to your rice, we recommend the rice is kept on
“Keep Warm” setting for no longer than an hour after cooking to avoid loss of flavour.
