Measure the desired amount of rice with the measuring cup supplied and place the rice in
a clean container (NOT the Inner Pot!) and rinse the rice with water. Then place the rinsed
rice into the Inner Pot and add water.
Level the rice inside the Inner Pot, wipe the exterior of the pot dry and place the Inner Pot
inside the body of the appliance. Place the Lid on the appliance using the Lid Handle, plug
the power cable into the electric mains and press the Selector button downwards.
The ‘COOK’ Indicator light will illuminate and the heating will commence.
When the rice is cooked, the Selector will “pop” up and a “click” sound will be heard.
Simultaneously, the ‘COOK’ Indicator light will be replaced by the‘WARM’ Indicator light.
Scoop the rice out after 15 minutes.
cover the appliance during functioning;
obstruct totally nor partially the Lid;
insert objects or body parts inside the protection cover of the appliance;
add water in excess of the “MAX” mark indicated;
maintain the rice for more than 12 hours in the appliance, even in the ‘WARM’ mode as
bacteria may start to multiply and the rice will also lose its flavor;
switch the appliance on if the pot is dry - however, should the Inner Pot be found empty
during operation, immediately unplug the power cable and add water to avoid dry-boil;
heat the Inner Pot by any other means, e.g. heating directly on a gas stove, as the pot can
be deformed as a result;
leave the appliance unsupervised during operation.

Plug and unplug the power cable firmly holding it with dry hands. Always unplug the power
cable to avoid overheating and avoid stretching it (DO NOT pull it, tug it or use it to drag the
appliance to which is connected). Before unplugging the appliance, turn the Selector to‘WARM’.
During operation, DO NOT touch the appliance with wet body parts, and it is recommended
to have between you and the standing surface, an isolating element (for example, wearing
shoes with rubber soles).
DO NOT soak the appliance in water or other liquids, wash it under the tap, or let any liquid
flow into the internal casing of the appliance to prevent electric shock. In case of accidental
fall in water, DO NOT try to take it out, but first of all unplug immediately the power cable
from the socket.
Place the appliance at a proper distance from the objects or surrounding walls making sure
that its functioning will NOT cause accidental damages. There should be at least 10 cm of free
space from the back, left & right sides, and the top of the appliance. Never put things on top
of the Lid.
The appliance should NOT be placed on a surface or in the vicinity of objects which can be
damaged by heat, such as carpets or plastics. When using the appliance, the surface that the
appliance is placed upon as well the surface immediately above (e.g. a wooden cabinet above
the appliance), may become very hot. If the appliance is operated on wooden furniture, use a
protective pad to prevent damage to delicate finishes.
Avoid placing the power cable on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where it can be
damaged easily. The cable must NOT be placed under carpets, or covered with throw rugs,
runners or similar. Arrange the cable away from the high traffic area, and where it will NOT be
tripped over.
Always remember to unplug the power cable of the appliance if it is NOT used for a long
period, before storing, cleaning or performing any maintenance operation.
Avoid carrying out operations which are NOT specified in this manual (such as disassembling
and/or altering).
In case of malfunction or anomaly during the functioning, switch off the appliance
immediately, turn off the power and check the cause of the anomaly, if possible, with the
support of a qualified person. 3
