appliance.
Using the appliance
Cooking rice
1Measure the rice using the measuring cup provided.
Each cup of uncooked rice normally gives 2 bowls of cooked rice. Do not exceed the quantities
indicated on the inside of the inner pot. 1 cup of rice is approx. 180ml.
2Wash the rice thoroughly.
Use a separate container to wash the rice to avoid damaging the surface of the inner pot.
3Put the pre-washed rice in the inner pot.
4Add water to the level indicated on the scale inside the inner pot that corresponds to the
number of cups of rice used.Then smooth the rice surface.
For instance, if you cook 4 cups of rice, add water up to the 4-cup level indicated on the scale.
◗HD4711 (fig. 2).
◗HD4715 (fig. 3).
◗HD4718 (fig. 4).
BThe level marked inside the inner pot is just an indication; you can always adjust the water level for
different types of rice and your own preference.
5Put the inner pot in the rice cooker. Check if the inner pot is in proper contact with the
heating element (fig. 5).
Make sure that the outside of the inner pot is dry and clean and that there is no foreign residue on
the heating element or the magnetic switch.
6Put the lid on the rice cooker, put the plug in the wall socket and switch on the mains.
◗The keep warm light goes on to indicate that the appliance is on (fig. 6).
7Press the control lever down to start the cooking process (fig. 7).
◗The cook light goes on (fig. 8).
If you fail to press down the control lever the keep-warm light stays on.
8When the cooking process is finished, the cook light goes out and the keep-warm light goes on
to indicate that the rice cooker has automatically switched to the keep-warm mode (fig. 6).
9Open the lid and stir the rice to loosen it (fig. 9).
For the best results, do this just after the rice cooker has switched to keep-warm mode.Then close
the lid firmly. Stirring the rice allows excess steam to escape.This will give fluffier rice.
10 To end the cooking process or the keep-warm mode, pull up the control lever, switch off the
mains and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

Steaming
1Measure 3 cups of water with the measuring cup and pour it into the inner pot.
The amount of water varies according to the quantity of food being steamed.
It will take approx. 8 minutes for 3 cups of water to come to the boil.
2Put the food to be steamed on a plate or in the steam tray.
To ensure even steaming, the food should be spread out evenly and should not be piled up.
3Put the steam tray in the inner pot (fig. 10).
When you combine steaming and rice cooking, make sure you measure out an amount of rice that
leaves enough room for the steam tray.The steamed food will be ready when the rice cooking
process is finished.
4If you are using a separate plate, put it in the steam tray.
5Close the lid firmly.
6Follow steps 6, 7 and 8 in the section 'Cooking rice'
The steaming time varies according to the quantity of food being steamed.
When the steaming process is finished, the cook light goes out and the keep-warm light goes on to
indicate that the appliance has automatically switched to the keep-warm mode.
7To end the cooking process or the keep-warm mode, pull up the control lever, switch off the
mains and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
8Open the lid and carefully remove the steamed food from the plate or steam tray. Use a
kitchen glove or a cloth, as the plate and the steam tray will be very hot.
Beware of the hot steam.
Keeping warm
This mode allows you to keep your rice warm for a longer period of time.
◗When the cooking process is finished, the rice cooker automatically switches to the keep-
warm mode.The cook light goes out and the keep-warm light goes on.
We advise you to keep rice warm for not more than 5 hours so as to preserve its taste.
The keep-warm mode will not switch off automatically.
To end the keep-warm mode switch off the mains and unplug the appliance.
