GETTING STARTED
This appliance is intended for household use only.
• Remove all packing material, any stickers, and the plastic band around the
power plug.
• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.
• Wash all removable parts as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING.
Place the clean, dry cooking bowl in the cooking base.
• Select a location where this unit is to be used. Place the unit on a stable, heat
resistant surface, free from cloth, liquids and any other flammable materials.
Ensure that the unit has enough space all the way around and above it to

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR APPLIANCE
This cooker gets hot. When in use, always use hot pads when touching any
part of the appliance.
• During the first few minutes of use you may notice smoke and a slight
odor. This is caused by oil that may have been used during manufacturing
of the unit and will not impact the performance.
• To switch to different functions on the appliance, you must be in the
cancel mode. The blue indicator light will be flashing above the warm/
cancel function. The unit is then in cancel mode and you will be able to
switch to another function.
• As most meals cook, steam will escape through the vent in the lid. Place
glass lid on the rice and risotto cooker so the steam vent is facing away
from cabinets and walls. Do not place hand over steam vent while rice is
cooking; the hot steam may burn.
• Use the provided plastic serving spoon to remove food and a wooden
spoon to stir. Do not use metal utensils that can scratch the nonstick
cooking bowl.
• Do not fill the cooking bowl higher than highest water marking measurement.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
RICE TIPS
• When measuring uncooked rice; do not use a standard 1 cup (8 fluid oz.)
measuring cup. A standard rice cup is / cup (5 fluid oz.); the same size as
the provided rice measuring cup. One / cup (5 fluid oz.) of dry rice will
yield approximately 1 cup (8 fluid oz.) of cooked rice.
• Rinse the rice with water to remove any excess starch and then drain.
• How to use the water markings
- Scoop in the desired amount of rice into the cooking bowl using the
10
provided rice measuring cup.
- Fill the cooking bowl with water to the corresponding water marking, i.e.
for 1 rice cup, fill to the 1 cup water marking, etc.
• To reduce foaming, add a small amount of butter or oil to the water
before cooking.
• Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt. If using
kosher salt, you may find you want to add a little more than if using table
salt. About ¾ tsp. of kosher salt is recommended for each rice cup (5 fluid
oz.) of uncooked rice.
• White rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place for
up to one year.
• Brown rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place for
up to six months. Refrigeration or freezing extends its shelf life.
• Try using broth, stock or reconstituted bouillon in place of water for
additional flavor. If you do, no additional salt may be necessary.
• Do not keep small amounts of rice in the warm cycle for extended periods
of time because it can dry out the rice.
• During cooking, a thin crust may develop on the rice at the bottom of the bowl.
If you do not like rice with a crust, you can easily peel it off and discard it.
• Taste/firmness will vary depending on the quality/type of rice used and
length of time it is cooked. For softer, fluffier rice, add a little more water.
For firmer rice, use less water.
• For other types of grains not listed in the cooking chart, follow package
directions.

ADDITIONAL USES FOR YOUR 6-IN-1 RICE AND RISOTTO COOKER
Packaged foods: condensed and ready to serve soups, pastas, and stews
• Do not fill the cooking bowl above the highest water marking cup level
on the cooking bowl.
• For even heating, stir occasionally.
• Always use a kitchen timer. Do not rely on the control switch on the cooker
since it is not intended to be an indicator of cooking time for soups and stews.
• Use only boneless meats and poultry that are cut into cubes no larger than 1 ½
inches. It is not necessary to brown the meats before cooking.
• When cooking rice or pasta in the soup, add additional liquid in the recipe.
• Since most frozen vegetables cook very quickly, it is best to add them at the
end of the cooking time. Stir them into the soup or stew and allow the mixture
to cook an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
• Choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less.
Oatmeal or Hot Cereals
• Steel Cut Oats work best.
• Do not fill bowl more than half way with liquids, as the oatmeal will
expand during the cooking process.
• For even heating, stir occasionally.
• When the oatmeal is done, the rice cooker will switch to warm.
Please note that this is for well-done oatmeal. If you prefer a different
consistency, monitor the cooking process to manually switch to warm for
desired results.
