INTRODUCTION
The Cuisinart® Super Grains & Rice
Multicooker benefits from the use of Fuzzy
Logic, a technology that senses moisture
levels to accurately cook food. All Super
Grains & Rice programs are automatic.
Cooking time and temperature are defined
by the appliance. Whether you are cooking
rice, quinoa, oatmeal or risotto, our highly
intelligent Super Grains & Rice Multicooker
automatically adjusts the heat and timing for
perfect results every time. It’s easy to use,
has an extra-large capacity and is beautiful
to look at. Now that’s a smart way to cook!
Additionally, no time is displayed on the
control panel for automatic presets a
series of - - - - will appear on the display
panel to let you know cooking has begun.
In the last 10 minutes of cooking, a
countdown will appear for most preset
functions.
NOTE: Do not open lid during cooking as
steam will escape and will affect cooking
time and taste
