Breville recommends safety ﬁrst

At Breville we are very safety conscious and 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.

Carefully read all instructions before operating and save for future reference.

Remove and safely discard any packaging material and promotional labels before using the Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker for the ﬁrst time.

To eliminate a choking hazard for young children, remove and safely discard the protective cover ﬁtted to the power plug of this appliance.

Do not place the Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker near the edge of a bench or table during operation. Ensure the surface is level, clean and free of water and other substances.

Do not use the Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker on a sink drain board.

Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or where it could touch a heated oven.

Position the Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker at a minimum distance of 20cm away from walls and provide adequate space above and all sides for air circulation.

Always operate the Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker on a stable and heat resistant surface.

Use the removable cooking bowl supplied with the Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker. Do not use any other bowl inside the housing. Do not use a damaged or dented removable cooking bowl. If damaged or dented, replace bowl before using.

Never plug in or switch on the Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker without having the removable cooking bowl placed inside the housing.

Do not place food or liquid directly into the housing. Only the removable cooking bowl is designed to contain food or liquid.

•

Always ensure the Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker is properly assembled before operating. Follow the instructions provided in this book.

Never operate the Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker without food and liquid in the removable cooking bowl.

Always have the glass lid placed correctly into position on the Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker throughout operation of the appliance unless stated in the recipe to have it removed.

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 ensure the power is switched off at the power outlet and the power 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.

The power cord (connector) must be removed before the appliance is cleaned and the appliance inlet must be dried before the appliance is used again.

Extreme caution must be used when the appliance contains hot food and liquids. Do not move the appliance during cooking.

The Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control system.

Before First Use

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.

‘Rice’ Setting

Use the Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker measuring cup provided to measure the required quantity of rice (refer to cooking tables - page 9). Always measure level cups, not heaped (Fig 1).

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. Drain well.

Ensure the exterior of the removable cooking bowl is clean before placing it in the housing (this will ensure proper contact with the inner cooking surface).

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).

Add water using the following ratios: White Rice = 1 cup water : 1 cup rice Brown Rice = 1½ cups water : 1 cup rice

Operating Your Breville Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker

NOTE

1 level Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker measuring cup = 150 grams uncooked rice

1 level Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker cup uncooked rice = 2 cups cooked rice

The maximum quantity of uncooked white rice to be cooked = 10 Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker cups

The minimum quantity of uncooked white rice to be cooked = 2 Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker cups

Place the glass lid into position.

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

Press the ‘Menu Selector’ button to the ‘Rice’ setting. The red light will ﬂash for a few seconds, then the light will permanently illuminate and cooking will commence.

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.

Tips

Add a little extra water for ﬂufﬁer rice and a little less water for ﬁrmer rice.

Some rice varieties may require more water for cooking, such as wild rice blends or short grain rice. Follow the directions on the packet or use the brown rice cooking table.

•

NOTE

Due to the additional water needed to

cook brown rice, some starchy water bubbles

may rise to the lid while cooking.

NOTE

The Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker measuring cup is not a standard metric measuring cup.

1 Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker 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 Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker measuring cup is lost or misplaced, use another cup but maintain the

same cooking ratios and ensure you do not exceed the 10 cup maximum line in the removable cooking bowl:

White Rice = 1 cup water + 1 cup ricexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Brown Rice = 1½ cups water + 1 cup ricexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sweet

It is not recommended to cook wild rice alone in the Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker as it requires a substantial amount of water. It is possible to cook wild rice as a blend with white or brown rice.

Steaming Foods

Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value when cooked in the Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker.

If no further steaming is required, turn the Emporia™ Rice and Risotto Maker off at the power outlet and then unplug. Allow to cool before cleaning.

NOTE

Do not let the removable cooking bowl

boil dry during steaming.

NOTE

Hot liquid can be added during

the steaming process.

NOTE

Keep the glass lid on while steaming food unless the recipe or chart specifically states to remove the lid. (By removing the lid unnecessarily steam is lost

and the cooking time will be extended.)
