BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

At Breville we 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

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE

• Carefully read all instructions before

operating and save for future reference.

• Remove any packaging material and

promotional labels before using the
Rice Cooker for the first time.

• To eliminate choking hazard for young

children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover fitted to the power plug
of this appliance.

• The Rice Cooker is not intended to be

operated by means of external timer or
separate remote control system.

• Do not place the Rice Cooker 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 Cooker 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 a sink

drain board.

• Use only the removable cooking bowl

supplied with the Rice Cooker. Do not
use a damaged or dented removable
cooking bowl. If damaged or dented
replace before using.

• Never plug in or switch on the Rice Cooker

without having the removable cooking
bowl placed inside the outer housing.

• Do not put food or 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.

• Open the lid carefully 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.

• The glass lid has been specially treated

to make it stronger, more durable and
safer than ordinary glass, however it
is not unbreakable. If struck extremely
hard, it may break or weaken and could
at a later time shatter into many small
pieces without apparent cause.

• Always have the glass lid placed

correctly into position on the Rice
Cooker throughout operation of the
appliance unless stated on the recipe
to have it removed.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE THE SET & SERVE

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 Rice Duo measuring cup provided to
measure required quantity of rice (refer to
cooking tables on page 13). Always measure
level cups, not heaped (Fig 1).

Fig. 1

NOTE

1 level Rice Duo measuring cup = 150
grams uncooked rice

1 level Rice Duo cup uncooked rice = 2
Rice Duo cups cooked rice (approx.)

The maximum quantity of uncooked
white rice to be cooked = 7 Rice
Duo cups

The minimum quantity of uncooked
white rice to be cooked = 2 Rice
Duo cups

Step 2

Place measured 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).

Fig. 2

Step 4

Add 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 Rice Duo measuring cup

water : 1 Rice Duo measuring cup rice
Brown Rice = 1½ Rice Duo measuring cups

water : 1 Rice Duo measuring cup rice
(Refer to table on page 13 for

more information)

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE THE SET & SERVE

Step 6

Place glass lid into position.

Step 7

Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V
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 Cooker
will automatically switch to the ‘Keep
Warm’ setting. The amber ‘Warm’ light
will illuminate.

Step 10

Open lid and turn rice over with serving
spoon provided. Replace lid and allow rice to
stand for 10-15 minutes before serving. This
allows any excess moisture to be absorbed,
resulting in a fluffier rice texture.

NOTE

Rice can be kept in the automatic
‘Keep Warm’ setting for up to 5 hours.

Do not remove glass lid until ready to
serve (except for when turning over
rice after cooking is complete or as
suggested in the recipes).

To stop ‘Keep Warm’ setting, switch
off at the power outlet and then
unplug cord.

IMPORTANT

• Always place liquid into 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 automatic
Selector Control during operation.

• To prevent scratching non-stick
surface of the removable cooking
bowl or steaming tray, always use
wooden or plastic utensils.

WARNING

Always lift and remove lid carefully,
angling it away from yourself to avoid
scalding from escaping steam.
