STEAM
Steaming is one of the healthiest methods of cooking. No butter or
oil is required and fewer nutrients are lost in the steaming process.
One quart of water is used for basic steaming , enough to cook most
variety of food.
The steaming rack should be placed in the UP position to raise the
food above water.
RICE
The simplest way to cook rice is to place the rice in cooking pot and
add appropriate water amount.
Cooking times will vary according to amount of rice and cooking liquid. The electronic control will automatically turn o once the water
completely evaporates and rice has been properly cooked.

Guide for steaming
Steaming is one of the healthiest methods of cooking. No butter or
oil is required and fewer nutrients are lost in the steaming process.
One quart (4C) of water is used for basic steaming. Rell the pot
during cooking for prolonged time recipes.

Guide for Rice Cooking
The easiest way to cook rice is to place the rice in cooking pot and
add appropriate water amount.
NOTES :
•
Cooking times will vary according to amount of rice, type of
rice and cooking liquid.
•
For grains and specialty rice, use the chart provided on page
15.
•
All rice/grain and water/liquid is measured in a Standard Mea-
suring Cup. Add salt based on your own taste.
•
1 cup of uncooked rice provides 2~3 servings.
•
Rinse the standard rice with plenty of running water before
cooking. It will remove excess starch for a better nal result,
with less foam generated during cooking, reducing spill over.
It will also reduce the starch lm on pot bottom once rice is
cooked. Flavored rice and enriched rice shall not be rinsed to
avoid avor spices or added nutrients removal.
•
Water quantity may vary slightly based on rice type and brand.
•
Adjust water quantity based on your own taste if necessary:
increase water to get more cooked rice, decrease water to get
less cooked rice.
•
Brown and Black rice generally needs longer cooking times
than white rice.
•
Parboiled rice is a process that provides more nutrition than
white rice while shortening the time necessary for nal prepa-
ration, so less water amount shall be used.
•
You should not prepare these amounts in smaller or larger
quantities than stated in the chart.
•
The multi cooker will use less water than the traditional stove
top rice preparation. Please consult the recommendations in
the table below for some common types of rice.
While “End” is ashing you can reset the control by pressing Start/
Stop button (D).
The control goes into stand-by mode.
If no action is taken after 5 minutes ashing, the control will automatically switch to Keep Warm function.
Keep Warm red light (F) will illuminate, the red light (E) around

Pot and lid are dishwasher safe , however De’Longhi recommends
hand washing the pot to ensure longer life of the non-stick coating.
• Unplug your Multi Cooker and allow it to cool before cleaning.
• Avoid using abrasive / aggressive products that may damage
the pot or the exterior of the appliance.
• Place pot and lid in the dishwasher or wash with warm, soapy
water.
• If food sticks to the surface, ll the pot with warm, soapy water
and allow to soak before cleaning.
• If scouring is necessary, use a nonabrasive cleanser or liquid
detergent with a nylon pad or brush.
• Wipe the inside surfaces of the pot with a soft pad.
