LAKELAND RICE COOKER
Thank you for choosing the Lakeland Rice Cooker.
Please take a little time to read this booklet before getting started and keep it in a safe
place for future reference.
The Rice Cooker will make one to two portions of fluffy rice or tasty porridge at the touch
of a button. There is a delayed start function so that you can set the appliance 12 hours
in advance. The automatic keep warm will then keep everything hot until you’re ready to
serve.
Here at Lakeland, our award-winning family-owned business still offers the same excellent
quality, value for money and exceptional customer service as when we founded the
company back in the 1960s.
Our products are hand-picked and thoroughly tested so you can be sure that everything
you purchase will be a pleasure to use for many years to come.
