How to keep cooked rice warm and tasty?
• Keeping cooked rice warm or using the ‘Keep
Warm’ function for more than 5 hours may cause
discolouration or generate an objectionable
odour. The sooner rice is served, the better it will
taste.
• There is a minimum quantity of rice to keep
warm. When using the keep warm cycle, be sure
you have at least 4 bowls full or 6 bowls full of
cooked rice in the pan.
• To prevent a dry, discoloured effect and objection-
able odour of the cooked rice, keep the outer lid
perfectly closed after serving rice.
• Do not leave the rice scoop or other utensils in
the pan during the keep warm cycle.
• Do not use the keep warm feature to reheat left-
over cold rice.
Precautions
• Always keep the bottom of the pan clean and dry.
Any residues between the bottom of the pan and
the heater will cause the cooker to malfunction.
• Do not attempt to press the switch by force if the
switch button cannot be pressed in the cooking
position. The switch normally remains in that po-
sition when the pan is not in the cooker or just
after cooking has been completed.
• The appliance should be placed on a stable sur-
face. Do not expose to water, steam or direct heat.
• Do not cover the lid with anything when the rice
cooker is in use.
• Do not use the pan directly on open fire.
• Do not immerse the cooker in water and avoid
putting the cooker near fire.

How to cook rice
1. Measure rice with the measuring cup.
• Wash rice in another bowl until water is rel-
atively clear. Bran may give an uppleasant
odour to cooked rice. Wash rice thoroughly and
quickly to effectively remove the bran.
Caution! Do not exceed the capacity marking in
the inner pan when filling rice and water. This to
avoid spillage.
Note: The markings represent the amount of
water to be added in relation to the amount of
cups rice to be cooked. E.g. If you add 20 cups
(or 3.6L) of rice in the inner pan, fill water until
the marking “20”. For more or less rice, fill water
according to the markings into the inner pan.
2. Wipe dry & place the pan in the rice cooker. En-
sure the pan is directly in contact with the heat-
ing plate by turning it slightly form the right to
the left until it fits properly.
• Wipe dry the outside of the pan before use. A
wet pan may cause cracking noise while cook-
ing and may damage the unit.

3. Close the lid. If the lid is not closed securely
the cooking result will be effected.
4. Attach the power cord to the cooker and then
connect it to the power supply.
5. Press down the switch. The red ‘Cooking’ light
will light to indicate the start of the cooking pro-
cess.
6. When the rice is ready, the switch will pop up.
‘The Keep Warm’ indicator will light up to indi-
cate that the ‘Keep Warm function’ has started.
7. After the switch button pops up: leave the lid
for at least 15 minutes on the appliance to steam
the rice. The rice will be fluffier.
8. Open the lid.
9. Scoop and mix the rice well with the supplied
scoop or a wooden or plastic scoop. Do not use
metal scoop.
10. After taking some rice, close the lid and keep
the rice warm. If you want the rice to cool down
a little, open the lid and unplug the power cord
from the power outlet to leave the rice for cool-
ing in the inner pan.
Attention! During the cooking process, hot steam
escapes from the steam vent. Danger of scalding!
Do not cover the appliance during use with a cloth
or other objects.

Cleaning and maintenance
• Always remove the plug from the socket before
cleaning the appliance.
• Beware: Never immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid!
• Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp
cloth (water with mild detergent).
• Never use aggressive cleaning agents or abra-
sives. Do not use any sharp or pointed objects.
Do not use petrol or solvents! Clean with a damp
cloth and detergent if necessary. Do not use
abrasive materials.
• Clean the ventilation slots (if applicable) with the
vacuum cleaner.
• Let the appliance cool down before cleaning.
• Remove the pan and the lid from the cooker and
clean them with water and mild dish washer.
Rinse thoroughly dry with a soft cloth.
• If in any case grains of rice or other residues may
stick to the heating plate, these must be removed
to prevent improper cooking. To remove the
cooked rice at the heating plate you may use soft
steel wool. Then, smooth out and polish the spot
for good contact between the heating plate and
the bottom of the pan. Improper cleaning of the
rice cooker may cause unpleasant odours.
• Any residue of vinegar or salt may cause the pan
coating to corrode.
• When serving rice, be sure to use a plastic or
wooden rice scoop (supplied by Hendi). Do not
use a metal scoop, spoon, spatula, nor place
spoons, fork, rice bowls etc in the pan.
• The non-stick coating may discolour after re-
peated uses, but it will not effect the non-stick
properties.
