INTENDED USE OF THE RICE COOKER
■ The rice cooker is intended for cooking rice, oatmeal porridge, grains and food
suitable for slow cooking and then for keeping the food in awarm state.
■ Furthermore, the steamer basket enables cooking meat and vegetables in steam to
retain maximum nutrients.
BEFORE FIRST USE
■ Before first use, thoroughly wash the cooking bowl A5 and accessories A11 to A14
using hot water using neutral kitchen detergent. Then rinse all these parts with
clean water and dry them thoroughly with afine wiping cloth. The cooking bowl
can also be washed in adishwasher.
■ Also clean out the inner and outer parts of the rice cooker unit A7 and the lid A1
using alightly dampened soft wiping cloth and then wipe everything dry. Never

PREPARING FOR USE
INSERTING THE INGREDIENTS
■ Take the cooking bowl A5 out of the rice cooker unit, put the required ingredients
into it and fill it with water according to the given recipe.
■ Use the supplied measuring cup A13 to measure out the rice. Two measuring scales
are marked on the measuring cup. One measuring scale is used for measuring rice
(¼, ½, ¾ cup or one level measuring cup) and the second scale is used for measuring
water (20 to 80 ml). Asingle level measuring cup is equivalent to 70 g of loose
uncooked rice.
■ Transfer the rice to astrainer and rinse through using running water. Transfer the
rinsed rice into the cooking bowl and evenly spread it out from the centre towards
the sides of the bowl. Add the appropriate amount of cold water. The recommended
rice : water ratio is normally 1:1.2. However, you may adjust this ratio based on
personal preferences and experience.
■ Correct filling of the boiling bowl A5 is shown in figure C. The total amount
ingredients with water may reach no higher than 4/5 of the capacity of the bowl or
to the highest level mark. When preparing meals, which increase in volume during
the cooking process, do not fill the cooking bowl to more than 3/5. However, the
volume of the food must reach at least 1/5 of the capacity of the cooking bowl or
the lowest level mark.
Warning:
Never put food directly into the rice cooker unit A7, always only
into the cooking bowl A5.
Never cut food that is located inside the cooking bowl.
■ Using an appropriate textile or paper, wipe clean the top edge of the cooking bowl
and any other parts, which have been soiled while the cooking bowl was being
filled.
■ Prior to inserting the cooking bowl into the rice cooker unit, check that its inner
part and primarily the heating element A9 and its surrounds are clean and free of
any food residues. If you find any material on the contact surfaces, it is necessary
to remove it.
■ Insert the cooking bowl into the rice cooker unit. After the inner bowl is inserted,
rotate it to both sides so that it is seated properly on the heating plate.
Warning:
Never use the rice cooker without the cooking bowl inserted.
Never use the cooking bowl separately, for example for cooking
or heating up on burners, hotplates of gas, electric or ceramic
stoves or in an oven.
■ Place the lid A1 on to the cooking bowl and click the latches A6 into the lid tabs A3.
Check that the lid is properly seated by lifting the rice cooker up by the handle A2.
The rice cooker is now ready for use.
USING THE STEAMER BASKETS
■ The steamer baskets are intended for cooking alarger amount of food (vegetables,
meat, etc.) in the steam cooking mode.
■ Place the food into the given steamer basket and insert the basket into the cooking
bowl.
■ Pour water into the cooking bowl A5 so that the water level is just below the level
of the steamer basket. The water must not cover the food. Put the lid A1 on to the
cooking bowl and secure it in place.
■ When it is necessary to top up the water during the cooking process, carefully
remove the lid and top up the water as required. However, lifting the lid will release
heat, therefore it is necessary to expect the cooking time to be extended.
OPERATING LOCATION OF THE RICE COOKER
■ Place the rice cooker on an even, dry, clean and most importantly stable and heat-
resistant surface. In the event that you wish to use the rice cooker on aheat sensitive
countertop, place acutting board or asimilar heat resistant material underneath it.
■ There must be no items or surfaces in the near vicinity of the rice cooker that may be
damaged by the escaping steam, e.g. walls, kitchen cabinets, cupboards, paintings,
curtains, etc.
■ Position the handles of the rice cooker so that nobody can brush against them and
thereby knock or tilt the rice cooker over, or spill its hot contents.
TURNING ON AND STAND-BY MODE
■ Connect the power cord plug A10 to apower socket. The rice cooker will beep 1x
and switch to stand-by mode.
■ The stand-by mode means that the rice cooker is ready for use. The indicator of
