OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE RICE BOX™

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 measuring cup provided to measure required quantity of rice (refer to cooking tables on pages 17–18). Always measure level cups, not heaped (Fig 1).

Fig. 1

NOTE

1 level Rice Box™ measuring cup = 150g uncooked rice

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

The maximum quantity of uncooked white rice to be cooked = 10 Rice Box™ cups

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

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).

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 Box™ cup water :

1 Rice Box™ cup rice Brown Rice = 1½ Rice Box™ cups water :

1 Rice Box™ cup rice (Refer to table on pages 15–16 for more

information)

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE RICE BOX™

Step 6

Lock the lid into position.

Step 7

Plug into a 230V or 240V power outlet and then switch the power on at power outlet. The red light on the START button will begin to ﬂash.

Step 8

An arrow will appear on the LCD screen aligned to the COOK/SUSHI setting. If FAST COOK, CONGEE, PORRIDGE/ SOUP, CRISPY RICE or REHEAT settings are required, press the MENU button once to select FAST setting, twice to select FAST COOK setting, or three times to select CONGEE setting, four times to select PORRIDGE/SOUP setting or ﬁve times to select CRISPY RICE setting. Then press START button to commence cooking and two dashes '--' will appear on the screen. The START indicator light illuminates continuously to indicate that the setting has begun.

Step 9

When cooking is complete, the rice cooker will automatically switch to the WARM setting. The red light on the START button will go out and the orange light on the WARM button will illuminate. The LCD screen will show ‘0’ HR WARM and will count up in 1 hour increments (up to 24 hours).

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.

Step 11

To stop the WARM setting, press the OFF button and switch off at the power outlet and unplug the cord.

NOTE

Rice can be kept in the automatic WARM setting for up to 24 hours, however for optimal rice quality limit the Warm to 5–8 hours only.
