NAME OF PARTS & ACCESSORIES

USING YOUR RICE COOKER

Cooking Rice:

NOTE: As a guide, it is recommended to use the ratio of rice and water as per the table below, but this can be modified as per the desired cooking level and type of rice being cooked.

• Take the desired quantity of rice using the measuring cup and put it in a bowl or sieve.
• Wash rice with water until the water becomes clear. Rinsing rice removes dirt, dust, debris, and chemicals and provides better-tasting rice.
• After washing, put rice in the Cooking Pot.
• Add unsalted water to the rice in the Pot and close the lid.
• Connect the appliance to a suitable power socket.
• Press the ON/OFF switch. The cooking light illuminates to indicate that the appliance is working.

WARNING: Do not lift the lid during cooking. Be cautious of the steam emitting from the steam vent.

Reheating Rice:

• Pour 60 ml of cold water into the Cooking Pot for each cup of cooked rice.
• Mix the rice and water, and then close the lid.
• Switch on the rice cooker.
• The cooker will automatically stop once reheating is finished.

Steam Cooking:

• Pour a minimum of 2 cups of water into the Cooking Pot.
• Place the food in the Steam Tray.
• Place the Steam Tray on top of the Cooking Pot.
• Close the lid and switch on the Rice Cooker by pressing the ON/OFF switch.
• Keep monitoring the cooking periodically to avoid overcooking.
• For prolonged cooking, add more water to the Cooking Pot.
• Once finished, press the ON/OFF switch to turn off the appliance.

CARE AND CLEANING

• WARNING: Do NOT immerse the base unit and power cord in water.
• Turn off and unplug the Rice Cooker from the mains.
• Allow to cool completely before cleaning.
• Do not use metal utensils or abrasive cleaners when cleaning.

• Wipe the sides of the main unit with a damp cloth.
• Do not place a hot Cooking Pot into cold water.
