water appears clear. Drain the
rice well then place into the
removable cooking bowl.
NOTE: When measuring rice use
the Kambrook measuring cup
provided and level off.
2. Add the required amount of cold
tap water.

housing. This will ensure proper
contact with the inner cooking
surface of the housing.

Jar Rice Cooker will automatically
switch to the ‘WARM’ setting
and the orange ‘WARM ’ light

replace the lid and allow to
remain on the ‘WARM’ setting for
10-20 minutes before serving.
NOTE: Rice can be kept on the
automatic ‘WARM’ setting for
up to 5 hours. However, smaller
quantities of cooked rice may
become dry if left on the ‘WARM’
setting for too long.
WARNING: Always lift and
open the lid carefully.
Important

control lever to stay on the
‘COOK’ setting after it has

appliance always ensure that
the removable cooking bowl is
correctly positioned in the housing.

cooking bowl as this may cause
the cooking bowl to sit incorrectly
in the housing.
• Never use metal utensils inside
the removable cooking bowl as
they will damage the non-stick
surface. Always use wooden or
plastic utensils.

preference for the texture of
the cooked rice. Add a little
extra water for fluffier rice and
