5. Before filling with rice, place the silicone mat
(protection against burning) on the bottom of
the inner pot.
6. Make sure that when you pour water in, the
silicone mat remains in place.
7. Now you may begin rice preparation.
4. Make sure that when you pour water in, the silicone mat remains in place.
Fig. 3
Before first use
1. Press the lock push button and lift the lid.
2. Remove accessories and inner pot from the device.
3. Before first use, clean the appliance and its accessories observing the
instructions in section 6 'Cleaning'.
4. Finally, thoroughly dry the cleaned elements.
Rice preparation
The optimal effect of rice preparation depends on correct ratio of rice and water.
During preparation, follow the instructions included in this operating manual an
check if:
– The rice is non-processed and typical?
– The rice is pre-cooked or stewed?
The pre-cooked rice is commercially available and is called e.g. instant rice.
All other rice data (white or brown, long-grain or round, wild, Basmati, etc.) inform of
quality and taste. It is insignificant for the preparation process.
Depending on taste a pinch of salt may be added.
Rinsing the rice before cooking makes it less sticky in the pot, but removes some
nutrients.
If rice is soaked for 5-10 minutes before cooking, it will be softer after cooking.
150545 15 / 20
Installation and operation
EN
Preparation of typical (not pre-cooked) rice
1. Measure the amount of rice you need with the supplied measuring cup, and
rinse it in a separate container.
2. Pour the rinsed rice into the inner pot of the rice cooker.
3. Add suitable amount of water (according to markings on the inner pot).
For example: pour 8 measures (cups) of rice into the inner pot and then fill it
with water up to the marking: 8 cup.
ATTENTION!
Do not exceed the maximum water level indicator!
Before starting to use the appliance, make sure that the external part of
the inner pot is dry and clean.
4. Insert the inner pot in the external container and rotate it slightly to the left and
right, to make sure that its positioning on a heating plate provides for good heat
transfer.
5. Close the lid so that you can hear the lid lock click.
6. Plug the device into a suitable single socket.
7. Press the function switch (press it down).
The orange indicator light Cooking / COOK will light up.
When the rice is ready, the orange indicator light Cooking / COOK goes off and the
orange indicator light Keep warm / WARM lights up.
The appliance switches automatically to the warm-keeping mode.
8. Leave the lid closed for further 10 to 15 minutes, so the rice becomes more
fluffy.
9. By pressing the lock button and lifting the lid, carefully open the rice cooker.
10. Serve the ready rice.
ATTENTION!
To avoid damages of the non-stick coating of the inner pot never use a
metal spoon or ladle to serve the rice. Use the supplied rice spoon and
rice fork only.
11. After taking out the required amount of rice, close the lid to keep the remaining
rice warm.
The device automatically maintains the heat. When the temperature in the inner
pot decreases, the orange indicator light Cooking / COOK lights up again, which
indicates the process of warm-keeping is continued.

Removing the condensate tank:
– Grab both sides of the tank and pull.
Replacing the condensate tank:
– Place the tank in the groove and press
it.
Fig. 4
12. If the warm-keeping function is no longer needed, disconnect the device from
the power supply (pull the plug out of the socket!). Otherwise the warm-keeping
function will still be active.
ATTENTION!
Before starting subsequent cooking process, the appliance (including the
inner pot) must cool down completely; otherwise, the processing time
within the subsequent cooking process shortens considerably and rice
will not be cooked properly.
Safety thermostat
The rice cooker is equipped with a safety thermostat which automatically switches
the device to keeping warm mode, when:
– the inner pot is not inserted into the device,
– the inner pot is not properly inserted,
– water has completely evaporated from the inner pot.
Condensate collecting tank
During lid opening the condensate flows through the external lid chute to the tank.
ATTENTION!
Remove and empty the condensate tank after each use.
