THE APPLIANCE
PREPARATION BEFORE COOKING
• This multicooker is equipped with 10 cooking programs: Rice, Risotto,
Reheat, Oatmeal, Slow Cook, Steam/Soup, Yogurt, Baking/Dessert,
Browning, Keep Warm. The multicooker also features an adjustable
timer and delayed start.
• When the power cord is installed into the power outlet and into the socket
on the cooker base, the appliance will ring a long sound “Beep”, all the
indicators on the control panel will light up for an instant. Then the screen
display will show “--”, all the indicators will switch off. The appliance enters
into standby mode, you can select the menu functions as you wish.
• At the end of the cooking period, the appliance will automatically switch
over to keep warm which will last up to 24h.
• Do not touch the heating element when the product is connected or
after cooking.
• Do not carry the product in use or just after cooking.
• This appliance is only intended for indoor use.
• On/Off button function. Press the button once for a short time to stop
the cooking process but leave the machine on for additional cooking or
Keep Warm. Hold the button down to completely turn off the appliance
if all cooking is complete.
Measuring the ingredients - Max capacity of the bowl
• The measurement markings on the inside of the bowl are given in liters and
cups, these are used for measuring the amount of water when cooking rice.
• The plastic measuring cup provided with your appliance is for measuring
rice and not water. 1 level measuring cup of rice weighs about 160 g.
• Users may reduce or increase water according to types of rice and their
preference of taste.
• As the voltage varies in different areas, slight spillover of rice and water
is a normal phenomenon.
• The maximum quantity of water + rice should not exceed the highest
mark inside the bowl.
Never add ingredients or water higher than the highest level mark.
When cooking rice
• Before cooking, measure the rice with measuring cup and rinse the rice.
• Put the rinsed rice into the bowl and fill it with water to the corresponding
water level (The measurements in cups).
• The water quantity can be adjusted depending on your taste.

9
• The table below gives a guide to cook different types of rice. For best
results, we recommend using ordinary rice rather than ‘easy cook’ type
of rice which tends to give a stickier rice and may adhere to the base.
With other types of rice, such as brown or wild rice, the quantities of
water need adjustment, check the tables below.
• To cook 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large portion), use 1
measuring cup of white rice and then add one and a half measuring cup
of water. With some types of rice it is normal for a little rice to stick on
the base when cooking 1 cup of rice. To cook other quantities of white
rice, refer to cooking guide below.
COOKING RICE TABLES
When steam cooking
• The quantity of water must be appropriate and always be lower than
the steam basket bottom.
• Exceeding this level may cause overflows during use.
• Place the steam basket onto the bowl – fig.5.
• Add the ingredients in the basket.
• Carefully wipe the outside of the bowl (especially the bottom). Make
sure that there are no foreign residues or liquid underneath the bowl
and on the heating element – fig.6.
• Place the bowl into the appliance, making sure that it is correctly
positioned – fig.7.
• Make sure that the steam shield is correctly in position.
• Close the lid in place with a “click” sound.
• Plug the power cord into the socket on the base and then plug the other
end of the power cord into the power outlet.
• Do not switch on the appliance until all the above stages have been
completed.
Never place your hand on the steam vent during cooking, as there is a
danger of burns – fig.11.
If you wish to change the selected cooking menu because of an error,
press “KEEP WARM/CANCEL” key and re-choose the menu you want.
Only use the inner bowl provided with the appliance.
Do not pour water or put ingredients in the appliance without the
bowl inside.
Never use reheat or keep warm menu to defrost food.

2 minutes (except for risotto rice which should not be rinsed). Then place
the rice in the bowl together with the corresponding quantity of water.
• Make sure that the rice is well distributed around the whole surface of
the bowl, in order to allow even cooking.
• Add salt to your personal taste if required.

browning a bit on the bottom of the pan.
• Do not open the lid during cooking as steam will escape and this will
affect the cooking time and the taste.
• When the rice is ready, the “Keep Warm” indicator light will turn on, stir
the rice and then leave it in the multicooker for a few minutes longer in
order to get perfect rice with separate grains.
• Place the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface away
from water splashes and any other sources of heat.

CHOICE OF INGREDIENTS FOR YOGURT
Milk
What milk should you use?
• All our recipes (unless otherwise stated) are prepared using cow’s milk.
You can use plant milk such as soy milk for example as well as sheep
or goat’s milk but, in this case, the firmness of the yogurt may vary
depending on the milk used. Raw milk or long-life milks and all the milks
described below are suitable for your appliance:
• Long-life sterilized milk: UHT whole milk results in firmer yogurt. Using
semi-skimmed milk will result in less firm yogurt. However, you can use
semi-skimmed milk and add one or two tablespoons of powdered milk.
• Pasteurized milk: this milk gives a more creamy yogurt with a little bit
of skin on the top.
• Raw milk (farm milk): this must be boiled. It is also recommended to
let it boil for a long time. It would be dangerous to use this milk without
boiling it. You must then leave it to cool before using it in your appliance.
Culturing using yogurt prepared with raw milk is not recommended.
• Powdered milk: using powdered milk will result in very creamy yogurt.
Follow the instructions on the manufacturer’s box.
Choose a whole milk, preferably long-life UHT.
Raw (fresh) or unpasteurized milk must be boiled then cooled and
needs the skin removing.
The ferment
For yogurt
This is made either from:
• One shop-bought natural yogurt with the longest expiration date
possible; your yogurt will therefore contain more active ferment for a
firmer yogurt.
• From a freeze-dried ferment. In this case, follow the activation time
specified on the ferment instructions. You can find these ferments in
supermarkets, pharmacies and in certain health product stores.
• From one of your recently prepared yogurt – this must be natural and
recently prepared. This is called culturing. After five culturing processes,
the used yogurt loses active ferments and therefore risks giving a less
firm consistency. You then need to start again using a store bought
yogurt or freeze-dried ferment.
If you have boiled the milk, wait until it has reached room temperature
before adding the ferment.
Too high a heat may destroy the properties of your ferment.
