Measuring cup
The measuring cup (Cup) contains two
scales. One shows the content in millilitres
(ml), the other one in ‘cups’. The maximum
content (180 ml or 1 cup) is reached if the
cup is completely full.
For cooking rice, only a full cup measure is
required.
Rice pan with CUP and L-scales
∙The CUP scale is suitable for measuring
rice with the measuring cup (Cup)
provided:
∙Use the measuring cup to put the desired
quantity of rice into the rice pan (between
2 and 10 cups).
∙Fill the rice pan with water up to the
appropriate CUP scale marking on inside
the pan. If, for example, 4 cups of rice
have been put in, the water level should
reach the 4-mark on the CUP scale inside
the pan.
∙The L-scale permits measuring the
amount of rice using any standard
measuring cup:
∙Fill the measuring cup with 0.6 -1.8 l of
rice.
∙Fill the rice pan with water up to the
appropriate L-scale marking inside the
pan. If, for example, 1 L of rice has been
put in, the water level should reach up
to the 1.0 mark on the L-scale inside the
pan.
Temperature control
The appliance uses an integral temperature
control. Once the water has completely
evaporated during the cooking process, the
unit automatically switches to the keep-warm
function.

13
Selector switch
The selector switch can be used to switch
between the cooking and keep-warm
functions.
The switch cannot be operated unless the
rice pan is correctly fitted inside the housing.

Useful hints on cooking rice
∙Always check the packaging for
information on whether the rice needs to
be washed before cooking.
∙Should you prefer softer rice, check the
packaging for specific information about
steamed rice, or pre-soak the rice in water
for approximately 15 minutes before
cooking.
∙This rice cooker is not suitable for
preparing rice pudding or creamed rice,
as the milk will burn.
Steaming
Meat, potatoes and vegetables can be
steamed using the steaming tray.
∙Put 3 cups (Cup) of water into the rice
pan. This amount of water is sufficient to
steam for 30 minutes.
∙Put the prepared food into the steaming
tray and place it into the rice pan.

∙Connect the power cord to the rice cooker
first before inserting the plug into the wall
socket.
∙Turn the On/Off switch on the left side on
the appliance on.

∙The steaming time largely depends on
the type of food used. While cauliflower
and carrots require a steaming time of
approx. 15 minutes, zucchini only need
10 minutes.
∙In order to prevent the steam from
escaping during the steaming process,
the lid should be kept closed.
∙Once the desired steaming time has
elapsed, switch the appliance off and
