Using the Rice Cooker
With this appliance, it is possible to cook rice as
well as to steam other foods at the same time. Experiment with finding the right quantity of water and
the right cooking time for the various combinations.
Cooking Rice
Notice
Coat the inside of the cooking bowl 4 evenly with
a little grease or vegetable oil to achieve a better
cooking result.
1. Remove the lid 2.
2. Take the cooking bowl 4 out.
3. Measure the desired quantity of rice using the
supplied measuring cup.
As a general rule: A level measuring cup - filled
with rice - yeilds a portion for one person. Determine the right quantity of rice and water for you
in a few cooking attempts.
4. Thoroughly wash and sieve the loose rice. Nutrients will be lost with this, however, if you do not
wash the rice this could lead to poor cooking results and elevated foam and steam formation in
the cooking bowl 4. Also, always pay heed to
the preparation instructions of the rice producer.
5. After washing it, pour the rice into the cooking
bowl 4 and smooth it out.
- 3 -
Notice
Place at least 2 measuring beakers of rice into the
rice cooker! A lesser volume of rice could cause
inferior cooking results!
6. Then add water in the cooking bowl 4 as per
the following cup markings:
• 2 Measuring beakers of rice =
Water up to cup marking “2”
• 4 Measuring beakers of rice =
Water up to cup marking “4”
• 6 Measuring beakers of rice =
Water up to cup marking “6”
• 8 Measuring beakers of rice =
Water up to cup marking “8”
• 10 Measuring beakers of rice =
Water up to cup marking “10”
Subject to taste preferences, salt can also be
added to the rice.
Notice
If you use warm water the cooking time can be
shortened. In this case, use somewhat less water
than is given on the cup marking in the cooking
bowl 4.
Notice
Subject to the type/sort of rice being prepared, it
could be that you may have to insert a little more or
less water to achieve an optimal cooking result.
Vary the amount of water in accordance with your
individual experiences and personal preference.
7. When the cooking bowl 4 is full, place it back
in the rice cooker housing. To avoid dirtying the
cooking area, ensure that there is no moisture
or rice located on the outside of the cooking
bowl 4. If necessary, wipe the outside with
a clean cloth.
8. Close the appliance lid 2.
9. Insert the power cable into the socket 8 on
the side of the appliance.
10. Insert the power plug into a properly installed
power socket. The yellow control lamp 5
glows.
IMPORTANT:
During the cooking process steam is emitted from
the steam exit opening 1. NEVER hold your hands
or other parts of the body over the steam exit opening 1 during the cooking process. There is a risk
of receiving severe scalds!
11. Press the function selector switch 7 down. The
yellow control lamp 5 extinguishes and
the red control lamp 6 starts to glow.
The cooking process begins.
Notice
If the cooking bowl 4 is not correctly positioned,
the function selector switch 7 cannot be moved to
the setting “Cooking”.
As soon as the rice is cooked, the rice cooker switches
itself automatically back to the keep-warm setting.
The red control lamp 6 extinguishes and the
yellow control lamp 5 starts to glow. Stir the
rice once and then leave it – with the lid 2 closed
– in the cooking bowl 4 for 10 minutes.
12. Open the lid 2. The rice is now ready to
eat.
Important
Use only the supplied plastic spoon for stirring or
serving the rice. Other spoons may cause damage
to the anti-stick coating.
Notice
This appliance is fitted with a safety switch: the cooking
process cannot be started with an empty cooking
bowl 4.
- 4 -
If the rice should be kept warm for a longer period,
wait until shortly before eating before stirring the rice.
An earlier loosening would cause heat to be lost unnecessarily. Do not remove the lid 2 while the rice is
being kept warm and do not leave the rice in the appliance for longer than 2 hours.
Important
Always remove the plug from the mains power sokket when the rice cooker is not in use. Otherwise,
there is a permanent risk of receiving an electric
shock!
Steaming
IMPORTANT:
Do not lift the steaming attachment 3 up during the
steaming process - the escaping steam brings with it
the real risk of scalding. The steaming attachment 3
becomes hot during the steaming process. When
taking hold of the steaming attachment 3, use oven
cloths or something similar to lift it from the cooking
bowl 4.
