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
Avance Rice Duo 7 Rice Cooker

• 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.

• 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, for example, 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. 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 liquid into the outer housing. Only

the removable cooking bowl is designed to
contain liquid.

• Do not touch hot surfaces; use potholders 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.

Important safeguards for all electrical appliances

• Unwind the cord before use.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or

counter, touch hot surfaces or become knotted.

• This appliance is not intended for use by young

children or infirm persons unless they have been
adequately supervised by a responsible person to
ensure that they can use the appliance safely.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the appliance.

• It is recommended to inspect the appliance

regularly. Do not use the appliance if power supply
cord, plug or appliance becomes damaged in any
way. Return the entire appliance to the nearest
authorised Breville Service Centre for examination
and/or repair.

• Any maintenance, other than cleaning, should be

performed at an authorised Breville Service Centre.

• This appliance is for household use only. Do not

use this appliance for anything other than its
intended use. Do not use in moving vehicles or
boats. Do not use outdoors.

• The installation of a residual current device (safety

switch) is recommended to provide additional
safety protection when using electrical appliances.
It is advisable that a safety switch with a rated
residual operating current not exceeding 30mA be
installed in the electrical circuit supplying the
appliance. See your electrician for professional
advice.

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).

5. Add water using the following ratios:
White Rice = 1 cup water : 1 cup rice
Brown Rice = 1

1

⁄2cups water : 1 cup rice

(see table on Page 8 for more details)

6. Place the glass lid into position.

sound and the Rice Duo will automatically switch
to the ‘Keep Warm’ setting. The amber light will

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.

setting for up to 5 hours.

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.
