Breville recommends safety first
We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition, we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.
Important safeguards for your Breville Rice Master
•Carefully read all instructions before operating and save for future reference.
•Remove any packaging material and promotional stickers before using the Rice Master for the first time.
•Do not place the Rice Master near the edge of a bench or table during operation. Ensure the surface is level, clean and free of water.
•Do not place the Rice Master on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or where it could touch a heated oven. Place appliance at least 20cm away from walls and curtains.
•Do not use on metal surfaces, for example, a sink drain board.
•Use only the removable cooking bowl supplied with the Rice Master. Do not use a damaged or dented removable cooking bowl. Replace before using.
•Never plug in or switch on the Rice Master without having the removable cooking bowl placed inside the outer housing.
•Do not put liquid into the outer housing. Only the removable cooking bowl is designed to contain liquid.
•Do not touch hot surfaces; use pot holders to remove the removable cooking bowl and steaming tray.
•Lift and remove the glass lid carefully and angled away from yourself to avoid scalding from escaping steam. Do not allow water from the lid to drip into the housing, only into the removable cooking bowl.
•Always ensure the power is switched off at the power outlet and the cord is unplugged from the power outlet before attempting to move the appliance, when not in use and before cleaning or storing. Allow all parts to cool before disassembling for cleaning.
•To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the outer housing, cord or power plug in water or any other liquid.
•Do not move the rice cooker during cooking.
•Do not leave the rice cooker unattended when in use.
•Keep the appliance clean. Follow the cleaning instructions provided in this book.

Operating your Breville Rice Master
Before first use, remove all promotional labels and any packaging materials and wash the non-stick removable cooking bowl, steaming tray and glass lid in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
How to cook rice
Step 1
Use the Rice Master measuring cup provided to measure the required quantity of rice (refer to cooking tables on page 9). Always measure level cups, not heaped (Fig 1).
Fig 1
1 level Rice Master measuring cup = 140grams uncooked rice
1 level Rice Master cup uncooked rice = 2 Rice Master cups cooked rice (approx.)
The maximum quantity of uncooked white rice to be cooked = 8 Rice Master cups
The minimum quantity of uncooked white rice to be cooked = 2 Rice Master cups
Note
Step 2
Place the rice into a separate bowl and wash rice by rinsing with cold water to remove any excess starch. The rice is ready for cooking when water runs clear from the rice.
Step 3
Ensure the exterior of the removable cooking bowl is clean before placing it in the outer housing, this will ensure proper contact with the inner cooking surface. (Fig 2).

Step 4
Add the washed rice to the removable cooking bowl, ensuring rice is spread evenly across the bottom of the bowl and not heaped to one side (Fig 3).
Fig 3
Step 5
Add water using the following ratios: White Rice = 1 cup water : 1 cup rice Brown Rice = 11⁄2 cups water : 1 cup rice
(Refer to table on page 9 for more information)
Step 6
Place the glass lid into position.
Step 7
Plug into a 230/240 volt power outlet and then switch the power on at power outlet. The amber ‘Warm’ light will illuminate.
Step 8
To commence cooking, depress the Selector Control. The red ‘Cook’ light will illuminate.
Step 9
When cooking is complete, the Rice Master will automatically switch to the ‘Keep Warm’ setting. The amber ‘Warm’ light will illuminate.
Step 10
Open the lid and turn the rice over with the serving spoon provided. Replace the lid and allow the rice to stand for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows any excess moisture to be absorbed, resulting in a fluffier rice texture.
Rice can be kept in the automatic ‘Keep Warm’ setting for up to 5 hours.
Do not remove the glass lid until ready to serve (except for when turning over rice after cooking is complete or as suggested in the recipes).
To stop the ‘Keep Warm’ setting, switch off at the power outlet and then unplug the cord.
Note
Important
•Always place liquid into the removable cooking bowl, or be ready to add oil, butter or margarine, before depressing the Selector Control to the ‘Cook’ setting.
•Never try to force the Selector Control to stay in the ‘Cook’ setting after it has automatically switched to the ‘Keep Warm’ setting.
•Do not interfere with the automatic Selector Control during operation.
•To prevent scratching the non-stick surface of the removable cooking bowl or steaming tray, always use wooden or plastic utensils.
ALWAYS LIFT AND REMOVE THE LID CAREFULLY, ANGLING IT AWAY FROM YOURSELF TO AVOID SCALDING FROM ESCAPING STEAM.

Rice cooking tables
The rice measuring cup provided with your Breville Rice Master is used in the following tables.
The Rice Master measuring cup is not a standard metric measuring cup.
1 Rice Master measuring cup is equal to 140g of uncooked rice and 175 ml of water.
1 Australian standard metric measuring cup is equal to 200g of uncooked rice.
If your Rice Master measuring cup is lost or misplaced, use another cup but maintain the same cooking ratios and ensure you do not exceed the 8 cup maximum line in the removable cooking bowl:
White rice = 1 cup water : 1 cup rice Brown rice = 11⁄2 cups water : 1 cup rice
Note
White rice
Add a little extra water for fluffier rice and a little less water for firmer rice.
Washed rice will have some extra water adhering after rinsing. This extra water will extend the cooking time slightly. Reduce the measured amount of water to compensate, if required.
Some rice varieties may require more water for cooking, such as wild rice blends, Arborio rice or short grain rice. Follow the directions on the packet or use the brown rice cooking table.
Due to the additional water needed to cook brown rice, some starchy water bubbles may rise to the lid while cooking. For best results, wash brown rice before cooking and allow to stand on the ‘Keep Warm’ setting for 20 minutes after cooking to absorb the remaining moisture.
That’s the idea™
