dented, replace bowl before using.
• Do not operate the multi cooker on a
sink drain board.
• Do not place anything on top of the lid
when assembled, when in use and
when stored.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the
handle for lifting and carrying the multi

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
• The temperature of accessible surfaces
will be high when the multi cooker is
operating and for some time after use
• Do not place anything, other than the
lid, on top of the multi cooker when
assembled, when in use and when
stored.
• Always insert the connector end of the
power cord into the appliance inlet
before inserting power plug into the
power outlet and switching on appliance.
Ensure the appliance inlet is completely
dry before inserting the connector end
of the power cord.
• To prevent scratching the non-stick
surface of the removable cooking bowl,
always use wooded or plastic utensils.
• Always position steam vent on lid away
from yourself to avoid scalding from
escaping steam.
• Ensure the removable cooking bowl is
correctly positioned in the multi cooker
base before you commence cooking.
• The appliance connector must be
removed before the multi cooker is
cleaned and that the appliance inlet
must be dried before the multi cooker is
used again.
• To prevent damage to the multi cooker
do not use alkaline cleaning agents
when cleaning, use a soft cloth and mild
detergent.
• Always have the glass lid placed
correctly into position on the appliance
throughout operation of the appliance
unless states 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.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR
ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• It is recommended to regularly inspect
the appliance. To avoid a hazard, do not
use the appliance if power cord, power
plug or appliance becomes damaged in
any way. Return the entire appliance to
the nearest authorized Breville service
centre for examination and/or repair.

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
• 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.
• Always turn the appliance to the OFF
position, switch off at the power outlet
and unplug at the power outlet when the
appliance is not in use.
• Before cleaning, always turn the
appliance to the OFF position, switch off
at the power outlet, unplug at the power
outlet and remove the power cord, if
detachable, from the appliance and allow
all parts to cool.
• Do not place this appliance on or near
a heat source, such as hot plate, oven or
heaters.
• Position the appliance at a minimum
distance of 20cm away from walls,
curtains and other heat or steam

NOTE
There may be occasions when
the multi cooker switches to the
KEEP WARM setting or switches
off before cooking is complete.
If this occurs, simply press the
desired cooking button, then press
the START|CANCEL button. The
START|CANCEL button surround
will illuminate red and the selected
setting will be activated. This is
a safety mechanism to prevent
overheating due to certain cooking
conditions.
HOW TO MAKE RICE
RICE|STEAM setting
1. Use the multi cooker rice scoop provided
to measure the required quantity of rice
(refer to cooking tables - page 18).
Always measure level scoops, not
heaped (Fig 1).
TIP
Allow the risotto to rest in the KEEP
WARM setting for 5 or 10 minutes to
finish cooking.
TIP
For optimum risotto results, we
recommend you stir once after 15-20
minutes in the RISOTTO setting.
Fig. 1
NOTE
The multi cooker rice scoop is not a standard metric measuring cup.
1 multi cooker rice scoop 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 multi cooker rice scoop is lost or misplaced, use another cup but maintain the
same cooking ratios and ensure you do not exceed the 10 scoop maximum line in the
removable cooking bowl:
White Rice = 1 scoop rice + 1 scoop water
Brown Rice = 1 scoop rice + 1½ scoops water

2. Place measured 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.
3. 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)
(Fig 2).
Fig. 2
4. 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 3).
7. Plug power cord into 230V or 240V
power outlet. The START|CANCEL
button and RISOTTO button surround
will illuminate in white.
8. Press the RICE|STEAM button,
then press the START|CANCEL
button to activate the setting. The
START|CANCEL button surround
will illuminate red and cooking will
commence.
9. When cooking is complete, the ready
beeps will sound and the multi cooker
will automatically switch to the KEEP
WARM setting.
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.
NOTE
After using the RICE setting the
appliance will automatically switch to
the KEEP WARM setting for up to 5
hours.
Fig. 3
5. Add water using the following ratios:
White Rice = 1 scoop rice : 1 scoop water
Brown Rice = 1 scoop rice : 1½
scoops water
6. Place the glass lid into position.

HOW TO SLOW COOK
SEAR setting
Searing in the multi cooker may take a little
extra time and whilst not strictly necessary,
the rewards are evident in the end result.
The cooking bowl keeps the heat stable
and uniform allowing the meat to brown
and form an even crust. Plus searing seals
in the moisture, intensifies the flavour and
provides more tender results.
1. Ensure exterior of the removable
cooking bowl is clean before placing it
in the housing (this will ensure proper
contact with the inner cooking surface).
2. Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V
power outlet. The START|CANCEL
button and RISOTTO button surround
will illuminate in white.
3. Press the SAUTÉ|SEAR button, the
button surround will illuminate white.
Press the START|CANCEL button to
activate the setting, the button surround
will illuminate red.
4. Cover with lid and allow to pre-heat
for approximately 2-3 minutes (do not
preheat for longer than 5 minutes).
5. Add oil/butter and allow to heat/melt for
approximately 1 minute with the lid on.
6. Always sear meat and poultry in small
batches. Cover with lid and cook,
stirring occasionally until food is evenly
browned. Remove from cooking bowl.
When finished searing, proceed to the
Slow Cook Settings section below.
Slow Cook Settings
The multi cooker has two slow cook settings:
Low and High. Use the recommended
guidelines below to determine cooking time
and heat settings and use recipes in this
instruction book. Dishes can be prepared
well in advance and cooking time regulated
so that food is ready to serve at a convenient
time.
A general rule of thumb for most slow
cooked meat and vegetable recipes is:
Setting Cooking Time
LOW: 6-7 hours
HIGH: 3-4 hours
Your favourite traditional recipes can also
be easily adapted to this slow cooker. Simply
halve the amount of liquid and increase the
cooking time..
NOTE
These cooking times are approximates
only and times can vary depending
on ingredients, quantities in recipes
and whether the cooking bowl and its
ingredients are hot from searing.
As a guide meats such as chicken or small
pieces of meat will have best results when
cooked on high for 3-4 hours.
Larger pieces of meat such as lamb shanks
will have best results when cooked on low
for 6-7 hours.
Cooking Times (with Searing)
When the SAUTÉ|SEAR setting is used
prior to slow cooking, cooking times will
be shortened slightly. Check for doneness
intermittently during cooking.
