removable bowl
3
is completely dry before you
place it into the rice cooker base
4
and connect the
appliance to a power supply.
12 Turn the removable bowl
3
left and right to ensure that it is
properly fitted onto the heating element
11
.
13 Never use the removable bowl

BEFORE FIRST USE
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE COOKING POT IS COMPLETELY DRY,
INSIDE AND OUT, BEFORE PLACING IT INTO THE RICE COOKER BASE.
ALWAYS TAKE CARE TO AVOID THE EXPULSION OF STEAM WHEN
REMOVING THE LID.
Wash the cooking pot
3
, measuring cup
10
and rice scoop
9
with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth.
RICE COOKING GUIDE
1 Measure desired amount of rice using the measuring cup
provided
10
. One cup of rice will provide approximately two
cups of cooked rice.
2 Rinse rice in the cooking pot
3
until the water becomes
relatively clear and dispose of the water.
3 Using the water measurement lines inside the cooking pot
3
,
add appropriate amount of water. For softer rice, allow rice
to soak for 10-20 minutes prior to cooking.
4 Close the lid
1
and plug mains cable into a socket.
5 Press the switch
6
down to cook mode. The COOK
indicator light
7
will illuminate.
6 For best results leave the lid on for first 10-15 minutes of
cooking. To check on the rice, carefully open the lid allowing
any steam and condensation to run back into the rice cooker.
7 When cooking is complete, the rice cooker will automatically
switch to warm mode and the WARM indicator light
8
will
illuminate.
8 After cooking, allow rice to stand for 5-10 minutes without
removing the lid
1
. This will ensure that rice is thoroughly
cooked.
9 Disconnect the rice cooker from the power supply, then
remove the cooking pot
3
from the rice cooker base using
the oven gloves. Place it on a heat proof surface and use a
fork to fluff the rice. Serve as quickly as possible.
HELPFUL HINTS
Before cooking rinse rice thoroughly to remove excess bran and starch.
This will help reduce browning and sticking to the bottom of the pot, but
it may also reduce nutrients in the rice.
If you have experienced any sticking due to the type of rice you are
cooking, try adding a light coating of vegetable oil to the bottom of the
cooking pot before adding rice.
Raisins and dried fruits will absorb as much water as rice, so put them
into the measuring cup together with the rice.
RICE TYPES
Rice is a valuable source of low fat, complex
carbohydrates and is abundant in thiamin (B1 ),
niacin (B3 ) and iron. It is an essential ingredient
for a healthy diet. There are many different
varieties of rice available in the market. Your
Rice Cooker can cook any type perfectly every
time. The following are the commonly available
varieties of rice and their characteristics:
LONG GRAIN RICE
Typically this rice (Basmati rice) is not starchy
and after cooking the grains are loose.
SHORT GRAIN RICE
This type is often called “Pearl Rice” due to its
round shape. It is characteristically soft, sticky
and chewy. It is usually used for making sushi
and rice puddings.
BROWN RICE
Brown rice is considered to be the healthiest
variety. Rice grains are covered with bran layers
and contain more B-complex vitamins, iron,
calcium and fibre than polished (white) rice. The
brown rice with long grains and chewy texture is
the most popular variety.
WILD RICE
Wild rice comes in many delicious varieties. It
is often mixed with long grain rice for its firmer
texture and rich brown to black color. Wild rice
makes wonderful stuffing for poultry, tasty broths
and can be mixed with your favorite dried fruits.
