THE APPLIANCE
PREPARATION BEFORE RICE COOKING
• This multicooker is equipped with 10 multi-functions: Rice/Cereal,
Risotto, Reheat, Milk Porridge, Stew, Steam/Soup, Yogurt, Baking/
Dessert, Crust/Fry, Keep Warm, plus Adjustable Timer and Delayed Start.
• When the power cord is installed into the power outlet and into the
socket on the cooker base, it will make a long “Beep” sound, the digital
screen and indicator lights will flash once, then the digital screen will
display “--”. It indicates the appliance has entered the standby mode
and is ready for function selection.
• At the end of the cooking period, the appliance will automatically switch
over to keep warm which will last up to 24 hours.
• Do not clean the bowl or the body of the appliance in the dishwasher.
• Do not touch the heating element when the product is connected or
after cooking.
• Do not carry the product when in use or just after cooking.
Measuring the ingredients - Max capacity of the bowl
• The graduated markings on the inside of the bowl are given in litres 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 the water quantity according to the type
of rice and their preference for firm or soft texture rice.
• Fluctuations in the household mains supply, can cause voltage variations
when operating the product, this may result in slight spill over of rice and
water on the higher capacity settings, and 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
Note: Always add the rice first, not the water, otherwise you will have
too much liquid which may cause overflows during use.
• Before cooking, measure the rice with the measuring cup and rinse it
very well.
• Put the rinsed rice into the bowl and distribute evenly around the whole
surface of the bowl. Fill it with water to the corresponding CUP mark
printed on the inside of the bowl (see cooking guide).
