O Use “Congee”, “Mixed” or “Casserole” program when cooking rice with other
ingredients.
Using the wrong cooking program may cause ingredients to block the Pressure Control Holes or
(
Safety Valve, which can lead to steam leakage, discharge of cooking contents and possible burn or injury.
O Use only a power outlet rated at 10 Amperes and alternating electric current at
220 Volts.
(Plugging other devices into the same outlet may cause electric overheating, which may cause a fire.)
• Use only an extended cord rated at 10 amperes at least.
O Keep the power cord out of reach of children.

(Otherwise it may result in an injury, or the damaged power cord causing a fire or electric shock.)
)
O Use a power outlet which you are sure includes an earth.
• The power plug of the appliance is designed for a power outlet with an earth.
(Use of a power outlet without an earth may result in a malfunction or electric shock due to electrical leakage.)

Cooking Rice (If the Outer Lid needs to be opened while cooking)
Three rules
for delicious rice
Measure out the water and
rice correctly.
Wash the rice gently.
Heavy-handed washing of the rice
can result in the grains splitting,
causing the rice to stick or burn.
Use suitable water.
We recommend the use of
tap water or filtered tap water.
O Use of alkaline water (with
a pH higher than 9) may
result in sticky or yellowcoloured rice.
O Use of hard mineral water
(with hardness of 100 or
above) may result in dry
or hard rice.
Things to look out!
OWhere possible, choose recently
processed rice.
OAfter opening a bag of rice, use it
promptly.
OKeep rice in the fridge.
