Rice Cooking
Measuring the ingredients - Max capacity of the bowl
• he graduated 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 – Fig.7.
• he plastic cup provided with your appliance is for measuring
rice (not water) and the table states the quantity of rice
required for the number of servings. 1 level measuring cup of
rice weighs about 150 g.
• he table below gives a guide to cooking different kinds 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 table below.
• o cook only 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large
portion) because there isn't the mark of 1 cup in the cooking
pot, you should use 1 measuring cup of white rice and then add
1 1/2 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. o cook other quantity of white rice, refer to cooking
guide below.
• he maximum quantity of water + rice should not exceed the
10 cup mark inside the bowl –
Fig.7 . Depending on the type of
rice, quantities of water may need adjustment. See the table
below.
• Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking.

placed in the bowl.
Rice cooking
he cooking time given in the tables above is a rice cooking time
guide.
• Place the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work
surface away from water splashes and any other sources of
heat.
• Pour the required quantity of rice into the bowl using the
measuring cup provided. hen fill with cold water up to the
corresponding “CUP” mark printed in the bowl (See cooking
guide above) – Fig.7.

Some recommendations
for best results when cooking rice
• Measure the rice and rinse it thoroughly under running water
in a sieve for a long time (except for risotto rice which should
not be rinsed). hen place the rice in the bowl first and fill the
corresponding quantity of water.
• Make sure that the rice is well distributed in the bowl to allow
even cooking.
The rice cooker itself
determines the exact
cooking time depending
on the quantity of
water and ingredients
placed in the bowl (see
cooking table above for
a guide to timing).
When all of the water
has been absorbed by
the rice, the appliance
stops the cooking
process automatically
and enters into the
“KEE WARM” mode
(the green “KEE
WARM” indicator light
comes on).

this will affect the cooking time and the taste.
• On completion of cooking, the “KEEP WARM” indicator light
is on, stir the rice and then leave it in the rice cooker for a few
minutes longer in order to get perfect rice with separate
grains.
Steam cooking (for vegetable , fi h, etc.)
Measuring the ingredients
• he maximum quantity of water in the bowl should not
exceed the maximum CUP mark shown in “CUP” on the bowl
– Fig.7. Exceeding this level may cause overflow during use.
• he water level should be lower than the steam basket
–
Fig.11 .
reparation

after each use.
• o remove the collector, press on each side of the plastic
cover and remove – Fig.14.
• o put the collector back, push firmly into the groove.
Bowl, basket, condensation collector,
micro pressure valve and the steam basket
• o clean the micro-pressure valve, remove it from the lid
–Fig.15 and open it by rotating in the direction of “open”
–Fig.15.
After cleaning it, wipe dry. Allow the two triangle to next
–Fig.15, and rotate it in the direction of “close” until you

stirring or serving food to avoid damaging the bowl surface.
• o avoid any risk of corrosion, do not pour vinegar into the bowl.
• he colour of the bowl surface may change after using for
the first time or after long period of use. his change in
colour is due to the action of steam and water and does not
have any effect on the use of the Rice Cooker, nor is it
dangerous for your health. It is perfectly safe to continue
using it.
Never remove the
bowl after cooking

• Vérifiez que le collecteur de condensats est bien en place ; si
ce n’est pas le cas, installez-le en l’enfonçant fermement
dans la rainure – Fig.6.
• Versez vos ingrédients (voir le chapitre Cuisson du riz).
• Fermez et verrouillez le couvercle.
• Branchez l’appareil.
• N’allumez pas l’appareil avant d’avoir suivi toutes les étapes
précédentes.

Cui on du riz
Mesure des ingrédients – Capacité maximale de la cuve
• Les marques graduées à l’intérieur de la cuve donnent des
indications en litres (L) et en tasses (CUP) ; elles servent à
mesurer la quantité d’eau nécessaire à la cuisson du riz – Fig.7.
• La tasse en plastique fournie avec votre appareil sert à mesurer
le riz (et non l’eau) et le tableau indique la quantité de riz
requise en fonction du nombre de portions. 1 tasse à mesurer
correspond à environ 150 g de riz.
• Le tableau ci-dessous offre un guide de cuisson des différents
types de riz. Pour un résultat optimal, il est recommandé
d’utiliser du riz ordinaire plutôt que du riz à cuisson rapide, qui
a tendance à être plus collant et peut adhérer au fond. Pour les
autres types de riz (riz complet, riz sauvage, etc.), la quantité
d’eau doit être ajustée (voir le tableau ci-dessous).
• La cuve de cuisson ne comporte pas de marque graduée pour
1 tasse. Pour cuire 1 tasse de riz blanc (pour une grande ou
deux petites portions), utilisez 1 tasse à mesurer de riz blanc,
puis ajoutez 1,5 tasse à mesurer d’eau. Avec certains types de
riz, il est normal qu’un peu de riz colle au fond lors de la cuisson
de 1 tasse de riz. Pour cuire d’autres quantités de riz blanc,
reportez-vous au guide de cuisson ci-dessous.
• La quantité maximale d’eau et de riz ne doit pas dépasser la
marque de 10 tasses à l’intérieur de la cuve –
Fig.7 . En fonction
du type de riz, la quantité d’eau doit éventuellement être
ajustée. Reportez-vous au tableau ci-dessous..
• Rincez abondamment le riz avant de le cuire, sauf s’il s’agit de
riz pour risotto.

* Le cuiseur à riz détermine automatiquement le temps de cuisson exact en fonction de la quantité de riz et d’eau
placée dans la cuve.
Cui on du riz
Les tableaux ci-dessus fournissent des indications sur le temps de
cuisson du riz.
• Placez l’appareil sur une surface de travail plane, stable et
résistant à la chaleur, à l’écart des éclaboussures et d’autres
sources de chaleur.
• Versez la quantité de riz requise dans la cuve à l’aide de la
tasse à mesurer fournie. Remplissez ensuite la cuve d’eau
froide jusqu’à la marque de tasse (CUP) correspondante de la
cuve (voir le guide de cuisson ci-dessus) – Fig.7.
Remarque : ajoutez toujours le riz en premier ; sinon, la
quantité d’eau sera trop importante.
• Fermez le couvercle.
• Vérifiez que l’appareil est branché. Placez le sélecteur de
commande en position basse ; le voyant de cuisson rouge
s’allume, indiquant que la cuisson a commencé – Fig.8.
• Une fois la cuisson terminée, l’appareil passe automatiquement en
mode de maintien en chaud. Le voyant correspondant (Keep Warm)
s’allume alors –
Fig.9 .
• Après chaque utilisation, veillez à vider et à nettoyer le
collecteur de condensats.
Conseils pour une cuisson optimale du riz
• Mesurez le riz et rincez-le abondamment à l’eau du robinet
dans une passoire (sauf s’il s’agit de riz pour risotto ; dans ce
cas, il ne faut pas le rincer). Placez ensuite en premier le riz
dans la cuve, puis ajoutez la quantité d’eau correspondante.
• Assurez-vous que le riz est bien réparti dans la cuve pour
garantir une cuisson homogène.
Le cuiseur à riz
détermine lui-même le
temps de cuisson exact
en fonction de la
quantité d’eau et
d’ingrédients placés
dans la cuve (voir le
tableau de cuisson ci-
dessus pour avoir une
indication des temps).
Une fois que toute l’eau
a été absorbée par le riz,
l’appareil met
automatiquement fin à
la cuisson et passe en
mode de maintien au
chaud (le voyant Keep
Warm vert s’allume).
