Use - Cooking Rice
Measure the rice using the measuring cup (M) provided. Each cup of uncooked rice normally gives two bowls of uncooked rice. Do not exceed the quantities indicated on the inside of the inner pot.
Before cooking, wash the rice thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess starch. Use a colander or fine sieve for this – do not use the cooking bowl as you may scratch the non stick coating.
Add the washed rice to the cooking bowl and add water. The amount of water required is indicated on the scale (D) on the inside of the cooking pot.

Put the cooking bowl into the rice cooker. Check to ensure the cooking bowl is in good contact with the heating plate and add the lid to the cooking bowl.
Plug the supply cord into a suitable electric supply. The cook indicator (K) light will light up.
Press the control lever (I) down to start the cooking process.
When the cooking process is finished, the cook light will go out and the keep warm light (J) will come on automatically.
Remove the lid and stir the rice. For the best results, do this just after the keep warm function light comes on. Stirring the rice with the rice spoon (N) allows the steam to escape. This will give fluffier rice.
Steaming
The steaming function may only be used in combination with the rice cooking function.
Measure out the required amount of rice (as above) and ensure there is enough room for the steamer tray (O) on the top of the cooking bowl.
Add the food to be steamed into the steamer tray. Ensure the food is spread out evenly to ensure even steaming. Do not pile up the food.
Add the lid to the steaming tray ensuring it fits securely.
Continue with the rice cooking process (as described above). Once the rice is cooked
the food should be steamed. Remove the lid very carefully and remove the steam tray. Use a kitchen glove or a cloth as the steam tray will be very hot.
Be aware of the hot steam escaping.
Trying to steam too much food will result in the food not been adequately steamed.
After use
• Switch off and remove the plug from the socket before leaving the appliance unattended and before changing, cleaning or inspecting any parts of the appliance.
