Getting the best from your new rice cooker...
• Do not keep food warm for longer than two hours
• Do not lift the lid during the keep warm period
• Rice must be thoroughly washed before using
• During cooking, certain varieti es of rice ma y cause a bui ld up of
steam within the cooker, resulting in some spitting from the vent and
under the lid
• On removing the rice from the inner bowl, a small amount of golden
coloured rice may be noted on the base of the bowl. This is normal,
allow the bowl to cool, fill with warm soapy water and allow to soak
which will loosen the rice and make cleaning easier

•
Do not use outdoors.
Mains Lead
•
The mains lead should reach
from the socket to the base unit
without straining the
connections.
•
Do not let the cord hang over
the edge of the table or the
counter and keep it away from
any hot surfaces.
•
Do not let the lead run across
an open space e.g. between a
low socket and table.
Children
• Never allow a child to operate
this appliance.
• Children are vulnerable in the
kitchen, particularly when
unsupervised and if appliances
are being used or cooking is
being carried out.
• Teach children to be aware of
dangers in the kitchen, warn
them of the dangers of reaching

see properly or should not be
reaching.
• Children should be supervised

home are not suitable for the
plug supplied with this
appliance, the plug should be
removed and the appropriate

live socket outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp

OPERATION
Before first use
Before using your cooker for
the first time, wash and dry the
bowl and lid.
Assembly
Assemble as shown A.
• Be sure to keep the space
between the pot and the
heating plate clean and free of
water drops, dust, rice grains
or any other foreign matter. If
not, the cooker’s performance
will be affected and the
element could possibly burn
out.
• Do not slant the pot, otherwise
it’s bottom will not be in full
contact with the heating plate
and the element may burn out.
• Do not switch the power on
until ready to cook.
Cooking rice
1 Use the measuring beaker
provided to measure the rice,
filling level to the top. As a
guide, one cup of rice is
sufficient for one person, but
this will vary according to
individual taste.
2 Thoroughly wash the rice in
several changes of water and
drain. Failure to do so may
cause poor results and/or a
build-up of steam within the
cooker. Do not wash the rice in
the inner bowl as it may be
damaged.
3 Transfer the rice to the inner
bowl and level the surface. The
markings on the inside of the
bowl are for measuring the
amount of water and are given
in litres and cups. Add cold
water to the corresponding
level marked on the inside of
the bowl. For example, to cook
6 cups of rice, place the
washed rice into the inner
bowl and then fill with water
up to the six cup level.
• Minimum capacity is 4 cups,
maximum is 10 cups.
• Never fill with water straight
from the tap, use the
measuring beaker.
IMPORTANT: Do not fill above
the top level indicated.
4 Place the inner bowl in the
cooker, ensuring that there is
no rice or any moisture on the
outside of the bowl.
5 Cover with the lid, ensuring
that the vent hole in the lid is
situated away from you.
6 Plug the cooker into the power
supply. The amber pilot will
light up.
7 Press down the switch and the
cooker will start. The blue light
will come on and the amber
light will go off.
Note: During cooking, it is
normal for the lid to rise up
slightly and water to bubble
around the edge.
8 The cooker knows when the
food is done by measuring
temperature and weight. When
the food is done, the main
heater will turn off
automatically and the cooker
will switch into ‘keep warm’.
The blue light will go out and
the amber light will go on to
indicate keep warm.
