before first use
Make sure your rice cooker is switched off and unplugged from the mains
supply socket before cleaning. Never immerse the base of the cooker body, cord or
plug in water or any other liquid.
Before using your rice cooker for the rst time, wash the steaming tray, removable
bowl and glass lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh
abrasives, chemicals or oven cleaners.
Using a damp cloth or sponge, wipe the exterior and interior of the base unit. Use a mild
detergent solution. Dry thoroughly.
Positioning
Position your rice cooker on a dry, at, secure, heat resistant surface close to a mains
supply socket.
Leave a clear space of at least 100mm (4”) all around your rice cooker and keep it as far
back from the edge of the work surface as possible.
Do not position your rice cooker underneath anything such as a shelf or cupboard, and
place it away from curtains, wall coverings, or other ammable materials. Never cover
your rice cooker. Apart from the possible risk of re, the steam given off by the cooking

using your rice cooker
Cooking rice
Make sure your rice cooker is switched off, unplugged at the mains supply
socket and is fully cooled before assembling or disassembling. During use the
glass lid, removable bowl and cooker body will get very hot. Always handle with
care and use oven gloves.
Always check that the rice is thoroughly cooked before serving.
1. Place the removable bowl inside your rice cooker’s base. When cooking, you must
always use the removable bowl. Ensure the bowl is positioned correctly.
2. Use the supplied measure to measure the required quantity of rice into a container
for washing. For accuracy, always ll the measure with rice until it is level with the
surface of the measure. Don’t use heaped measures. For quantities see the rice
cooking guide on page 10.
3. Wash the rice thoroughly under cold running water. This will remove the excess
starch from the rice and produce better results when cooking. Add the washed rice to
the removable bowl.
4. Using the supplied measure, add the required quantity of water to the removable
bowl. Make sure that the bowl is lled below the maximum level marking. Spread the
rice evenly across the bottom of the bowl.
5. Place the glass lid onto the removable bowl.
6. Plug your rice cooker into a suitable mains supply socket. The keep warm light will
illuminate.
7. Move the cook/keep warm selector switch to the down (cook) position. The cook light
will illuminate.
When cooking has nished, move the cook/keep warm selector to the up (keep
warm) position. The keep warm light will illuminate. Note that if your rice cooker is left
unattended, it will automatically switch to the keep warm mode after cooking.
When the cooking time has elapsed, your rice is not quite done. Rice benets from a ‘boilsteam’ method of cooking. Allow your rice to stand for 10-15 minutes in your rice cooker
with your cooker switched to the keep warm setting before serving.
After the rice has rested for 10 to 15 minutes, remove the lid and stir the rice gently with
the serving spoon. If the rice is not done, re-cover and let it stand in the keep warm mode
until it is ready. Do not leave your rice cooker on the keep warm setting for longer than
one hour.
After use
After use, unplug your rice cooker from the supply socket. Your rice cooker does not
switch off automatically.

Using your rice cooker to steam vegetables
Make sure your rice cooker is switched off, unplugged at the mains supply
socket and is fully cooled before assembling or disassembling. During use the
glass lid, removable bowl, steamer tray and cooker body will get very hot. Always
handle with care and use oven gloves.
Always check that the vegetables are thoroughly cooked before serving.
1. Place the removable bowl inside your rice cooker’s base. When cooking, you must
always use the removable bowl. Ensure the bowl is positioned correctly.
2. Use the supplied measure, add a minimum of 3 measures of water and a maximum
of 6 measures of water. Don’t under or over ll your rice cooker as it may be
damaged.
3. Fit the steamer tray. Add the vegetables to the steamer tray. Make sure that some
of the steam holes in the steamer tray remain uncovered to allow the steam to
penetrate the vegetables. Don’t overll the steamer tray otherwise the vegetables
may be unevenly cooked.

elapsed. Removing the lid unnecessarily will result in a loss of steam and the cooking
time will need to be extended.
Steam the vegetables for the appropriate time. For cooking times see the steam cooking
guide on page 11.
If further steaming is required ensure there is sufcient water in the bowl. Care should
be taken to ensure that your rice cooker doesn’t boil dry. Add more water or stock as
required and replace the steaming tray and glass lid. Move the cook/keep warm selector
switch to the down (cook) position. The cook light will illuminate.
