Operating your Breville Avance Rice Duo 7

Before first use, remove all packaging material and promotional labels and wash the non-stick removable cooking bowl, stainless steel steaming tray and glass lid in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

How to cook rice

1.Use the Rice Duo 7 measuring cup provided to measure the required quantity of rice (refer to cooking tables - page 8). Always measure level cups, not heaped (Fig 1).

Fig 1

2.Place the rice into a separate bowl and wash with cold water to remove any excess starch. The rice is ready for cooking when water runs clear from the rice.

3.Ensure the exterior of the removable cooking bowl is clean and dry before placing it in the stainless steel housing. This will ensure proper contact with the inner cooking surface.

4.Making sure the bowl is sitting flat in the housing, 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 2).

Fig 2

5.Add water using the following ratios: White Rice = 1 cup water : 1 cup rice Brown Rice = 11⁄2 cups water : 1 cup rice (see table on Page 8 for more details)

6.Place the glass lid into position.

7.Plug into a 230/240 volt power outlet and then switch the power on at power outlet. The amber ‘Keep Warm’ light will illuminate.

1 level Rice Duo 7 measuring cup = 150grams uncooked rice

1 level Rice Duo 7 cup uncooked rice = 2 Rice Duo 7 cups cooked rice (approx.) The maximum quantity of uncooked white rice to be cooked = 7 Rice Duo 7 cups The minimum quantity of uncooked white rice to be cooked = 2 Rice Duo 7 cups

8To commence cooking, press the selector control to ‘Cook’. The red ‘Cook’ light will illuminate.

9When cooking is complete, the ready bell will sound and the Rice Duo will automatically switch to the ‘Keep Warm’ setting. The amber light will illuminate.

10Open 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.

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

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, always use wooden or plastic utensils.

Note

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).

Note

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

Note

TO ENSURE CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, CONNECT TO PROPERLY EARTHED OUTLETS ONLY

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. COOK ONLY IN REMOVABLE CONTAINER.

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 Duo 7 is used in the following tables.

The Rice Duo 7 measuring cup is not a standard metric measuring cup.

1 Rice Duo 7 measuring cup is equal to 150g of uncooked rice and 180ml of water. 1 Australian Standard Metric Measuring cup is equal to 200g of uncooked rice

If your Rice Duo 7measuring cup is lost or misplaced, use another cup but maintain the same cooking ratios and ensure you do not exceed the 7 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

			(Rice Duo 7 cups)	(minutes)

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 rice before cooking and keep warm for 20 minutes after cooking to absorb the remaining moisture.
