Before First Use

Before ﬁrst use, remove any packaging material and promotional stickers or labels. Wash the removable cooking bowl, glass lid, measuring cup and serving spoon in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

Ensure the interior of the housing is clean and clear of any debris.

Using Your Kambrook Rice Cooker

1. Remove the removable cooking

bowl. Use the Kambrook Proﬁle measuring cup provided to measure the required amount of rice and place into the removable cooking bowl. Ensure the rice is spread evenly across the bottom of the removable cooking bowl and not heaped to one side.

NOTE: If desired, prior to placing into the removable cooking bowl, place the rice into a large sieve then run under cold water to remove excess starch. Continue this process until the water appears clear. Drain the rice well then place into the removable cooking bowl.

NOTE: When measuring rice use the Kambrook Proﬁle measuring cup provided and level off.

NOTE: Please refer to Rice Cooking Tables (Page 9) for quantities.

NOTE: Rice can be kept on the automatic ‘KEEP WARM’ setting for up to 5 hours. However, smaller quantities of cooked rice may become dry if left on the ‘KEEP WARM’ setting for too long.
