RÉGLAGE DE L´HORLOGE
•L´heure indiquée sur l´horloge de l´appareil a été préréglée sur l´heure standard.
•Régler l´horloge selon la procédure suivante si l´heure est déréglée à cause de la température de la pièce ou
autre.
•L´horloge ne peut être réglée si la minuterie est en cours d´utilisation pour la cuisson ou la chauffe.
•L´opération en cours peut être annulée en appuyant sur le bouton KEEP WARM/OFF.
•Régler l´horloge sur l´heure juste car la cuisson programmée ne fonctionnera pas correctement si l´heure
n´est pas correcte.
EXAMPLE: Si l´heure actuelle est 8:00 h mais l´affichage indique 7:55 h.
1 Brancher la prise électrique.
2 Appuyer sur le bouton HOUR ou MINS jusqu´à ce que
l´affichage d´heure clignote.
•L´affichage de l´heure commence à clignoter.
3 Appuyer sur HOUR et MINS pour régler l´heure correcte.
•Appuyer sur HOUR pour régler << 8>>. Appuyer sur MINS
pour régler << 00 >>.
•Maintenir appuyés les boutons pour avancer rapidement
l´affichage.
•L´affichage de l´heure s´arrête de clignoter après 6 secondes.
•Le réglage de l´heure est terminé lorsque l´affichage de
l´horloge s´arrête de clignoter.
Batterie au lithium incorporée
•La batterie au lithium interne de l´appareil fournit de l´énergie pour garder l´affichage de l´heure et le réglage
de la minuterie même lorsque la prise électrique n´est pas branchée.
•La durée de vie de la batterie est prévue de 4-5 ans à une température ambiante de 20°C. La durée de vie
de la batterie peut être plus longue lorsque l´appareil reste branché à la prise murale car la puissance de la
batterie interne n´est pas consommée.
•Lorsque la batterie arrive en fin de vie, l´affichage apparaît plus faible et le réglage de la minuterie n´est pas
conservé lorsque l´appareil est débranché de la prise murale. Lorsque la batterie s´affaiblit, l´appareil peut
être utilisé comme d´habitude tant qu´il reste branché.
•Contacter votre revendeur local ou l´un des service après-vente recommandés par KeMar (page 12) pour
remplacer la batterie. Ne pas remplacer la batterie soi-même.
La batterie sera remplacée par une batterie au lithium neuve moyennant un coût. Après le remplacement,
réinitialiser l´horloge et la minuterie.
Coupure électrique lorsque l´appareil est en cours d´utilisation
(Les informations données dans cette section sont aussi valables pour le retrait de la prise ou pour un court-
circuit.)
•Si l´électricité est coupée momentanément, l´appareil revient sur le même mode d´avant la coupure.
•Si la coupure de courant est longue, il peut se produire ce qui suit :
Pendant l´utilisation de la
minuterie
Pendant la cuisson
Pendant que le riz est gardé au
chaude
•La cuisson commence immédiatement
si l´heure préréglée de démarrage de
cuisson est dépassée.
•Le riz risque de ne pas cuire la durée
exacte programmée avec la minuterie.
•La cuisson continue mais le riz risque
de ne pas cuire correctement.
•Si la durée de cuisson restante est
courte, l´appareil peut passer en mode
KEEP WARM.
•L´appareil continue à garder le riz au
chaud.

CUISSON DU RIZ
1 Mesurer la quantité de riz et le laver.
•Mesurer le riz en utilisant le verre doseur fourni. 1 verre
doseur est égal à 180 ml.
•Le récipient intérieur peut être utilisé pour laver le riz.
Correct Non correct
2 Ajouter la quantité adéquate d´eau et placer le
récipient intérieur dans l´appareil.
•Laver le riz et le mettre dans le récipient intérieur.
•Choisir le niveau d´eau en fonction du réglage du menu
sélectionné et la quantité de riz en cours de cuisson.
•Si le niveau d´eau n´est pas correct, l´excès d´eau risque de
bouillir et déborder.
•Régler le niveau d´eau en fonction de votre préférence. Le
niveau d´eau peut être réglé jusqu´à un niveau de graduation.
Si la quantité d´eau est trop grande, elle risque de bouillir et
déborder.
•S´assurer de retirer les grains de riz ou gouttelettes d´eau sur
la paroi extérieure du récipient intérieur ou sur la paroi de
l´appareil. L´eau qui reste collée sur ces parois provoque du
bruit lors de la cuisson.
•Secouer doucement le récipient intérieur pour égaliser le
niveau de riz.
Exemple: Pour cuire 4 verres de riz.
Exemple: Pour cuire 2 verres de riz.
3 Brancher le cordon d´alimentation et sélectionner

KEEP WARM s´allume ensuite et l´appareil passe automatiquement
dans ce mode pour garder le riz chaud.
•Le PANNEAU D´AFFICHAGE montre la durée d´avertissement écoulée.
•Ne pas garder le riz au chaud plus de 12 heures car il risque de sentir,
de jaunir ou de sécher.
•Ne pas débrancher le cordon d´alimentation en mode KEEP WARM.
•Le risotto ne peut pas être gardé au chaud. Lorsque le risotto est cuit, le
témoin KEEP WARM clignote. Ne pas garder le risotto au chaud car il
devient gluant.
•Ne pas utiliser KEEP WARM pour le riz mixte, le riz brun, le riz sucré ou
le riz complet car ils risquent de s´abîmer ou de sentir.
•Un roussissement léger peut se former au fond dur récipient intérieur.
•S´assurer d´appuyer sur le bouton KEEP WARM/OFF et de débrancher
le cordon d´alimentation après utilisation.
•Si cela n´est pas fait, l´appareil se met en mode KEEP WARM dés qu´il
est branché la fois suivante.
•Ne pas réchauffer du riz froid car il risque de développer une odeur.
Cuisson du riz mixte/sucré
•Laver le riz et le tremper dans l´eau avant de le cuire.
•Mélanger tous les ingrédients dans un bol.
•Trop d´ingrédients risquent d´empêcher le riz de cuire correctement.
•L´utilisation d´assaisonnement risque de faire brûler plus facilement le
riz.
•Il est possible de cuire 4 verres de riz mixte ou sucré.
•Remplier le niveau WHITE/MIXED ou SWEET approprié avec de l´eau
ou de l´eau assaisonnée. Placer, ensuite, les ingrédients mélangés sur
le riz.
•Placer le récipient intérieur dans l´appareil.
•Sélectionner WHITE RICE dans le menu et commencer la cuisson.
•Après avoir cuit du riz mélangé à autres ingrédients, une légère odeur
peut rester.
•Laver entièrement le récipient et le couvercle intérieurs après chaque
utilisation.
