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 varieties of rice may cause a build 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

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.
9 Food left to keep warm should not be allowed to dry out and
should be stirred occasionally, otherwise it may burn and stick to
the bowl. Never leave the cooker on keep warm for more than
two hours.
10 Carefully lift the lid and allow any condensation to drip into the
cooker. Use the spatula to fluff up the rice. Replace the lid as
quickly as possible. Consume the stirred rice within 1 hour. Small
quantities (3 to 4 cups) should be consumed immediately.
11 Switch off at the mains and unplug the mains cable. Remove the
bowl to serve the food.
• Never take the bowl out of the cooker when it is filled with water.
• We do not recommend cooking packet type savoury rice.
Cooking pasta
1 Use the measuring beaker provided to measure the pasta, filling
level to the top. As a guide, 2 or 3 cups of pasta is sufficient for
one person, but this will vary according to individual taste.
2 For best results when cooking pasta, fit the special pasta pad
B
.
3 Transfer the pasta 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 water to the
corresponding level marked on the inside of the bowl. For
example, to cook 6 cups of pasta, place the pasta 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 pasta
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 light 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 For all types of pasta, we recommend that you follow the cooking
time on the packet plus a further 10 minutes. At the end of the
cooking time, you can switch the cooker to ‘keep warm’ if
required. The blue light will go out and the amber light will go on
to indicate keep warm.
9 Carefully lift the lid and allow any condensation to drip into the
cooker. Use the spatula to stir the pasta which is then ready to
eat. Replace the lid as quickly as possible if leaving on keep
warm. Consume the pasta within 1 hour.
10 Switch off at the mains and unplug the mains cable. Remove the
bowl to serve the food.
• Never take the bowl out of the cooker when it is filled with water.
Tips for best cooking results
• Make sure that the rice and pasta is spread over the whole surface
of the bowl to ensure even cooking.
• You may find that for your own personal taste, you need to slightly
adjust the amount of water added. For a softer rice or pasta, add a
little more water, and for a firmer rice or pasta, a little less water.
• The cooking times may vary according to the quantity and type of
rice or pasta cooked.
• A thin crust of rice may form on the base, particularly when
cooking Italian or easy-cook type rice, or when cooking smaller
quantities. Wiping half a teaspoon of oil over the base may help
reduce this forming, but this occurrence is not always preventable.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning and maintenance, switch the appliance off and
unplug it.
• Wash the bowl and lid in warm soapy water and dry well.
• Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive or
solvent-based cleaner.
• If food has stuck to the bottom of the bowl, allow to soak for a
while before washing it.
• Do not immerse the main unit in water, nor pour water into it, only
the inner bowl may be immersed in water.
• Ensure the area between the main unit and inner bowl is always
clean and free from any rice or pasta particles etc. This is
important to ensure proper contact between the two.
IMPORTANT: The brown marks and scratches that may appear
after many hours of use are not a problem. We guarantee that
the non-stick coating complies with the standards and
regulations on materials suitable for contact with food.
Taking care of the bowl
Use a plastic or wooden spoon and not a metal one so as to
avoid damaging the bowl surface.
