Make sure the heating plate, magnetic switch and inner pot are clean and dry before switching the rice cooker on.

Do not switch the rice cooker on without having inserted the inner bowl.

Always unplug the rice cooker and let it cool down before cleaning it.

Do not place the inner pot directly over an open flame for cooking.

Do not obstruct the steam vent with any article, e.g. a piece of cloth, during operation.

Keep the appliance out of the reach of children when you use it. Do not let the mains cord hang over the edge of the table or worktop on which the appliance is standing.

This appliance is intended for household use only.

Using the appliance

Cooking rice

1 Measure the rice using the measuring cup provided (fig. 1).

Each cup of uncooked rice normally gives 2 bowls of cooked rice. Do not exceed the quantities indicated in the table below.

Type	Minimum and maximum capacity
HD4500	1-5.5 cups
HD4501	2-8 cups
HD4502	3-10 cups
HD4503	5-15 cups

2Wash the rice thoroughly.

3Add water to the level indicated on the scale inside the pot that corresponds to the number

of cups of rice used.Then smooth the rice surface (fig. 2).

For instance, if you cook 4 cups of rice, add water up to the 4-cup level indicated on the scale.

BThe level marked inside the pot is just an indication; you can always adjust the water level for different types of rice and your own preference.

4 Put the inner pot in the rice cooker. Check if the inner pot is in proper contact with the heating plate.

Make sure that the outside of the inner pot is dry and clean and that there is no foreign residue on the heating plate or the magnetic switch.

5Put the lid on the rice cooker and put the plug in the wall socket.

The keep-warm light goes on.

6Press the control lever down to start the cooking process (fig. 3).

The cook light goes on.

When the cooking process is finished, the cook light goes out and the keep-warm light goes on automatically (fig. 4).

7Remove the lid and stir the rice (fig. 5).

For the best results, do this just after the keep-warm light has gone on.Then put the lid firmly onto the cooker to continue the keep-warm function. Stirring the rice allows excess steam to escape.This will give fluffier rice.

Steaming (HD4502 only)

The steaming function may only be used in combination with the rice-cooking function (see section 'Rice cooking').

1Follow steps 1 to 6 in section 'Rice cooking'.When measuring the rice, make sure there is enough room left for the steam tray.

2Put the food to be steamed on a plate or in the steam tray.

To ensure even steaming, the food should be spread out evenly and should not be piled up.

3Put the steam tray in the inner pot on top of the rice (fig. 6).

4If you are using a separate plate, put it in the steam tray.

5Put the lid firmly onto the rice cooker.

6Follow steps 7 and 8 in section 'Rice cooking'.

The steamed food will be ready when the rice-cooking process is finished.

8 ENGLISH

7Remove the lid and carefully remove the steamed food from the plate or steam tray. Use a kitchen glove or cloth, as the plate and steam tray will be very hot.

Beware of the hot steam.

Cleaning

Wait until the rice cooker has cooled down sufficiently.

1Unplug the rice cooker.

2Take the steam tray and the inner pot out of the main body of the appliance. Soak the inner pot in lukewarm water for a few minutes.

3Clean the lid, inner pot, steam tray (HD4502 only) and rice scoop with a sponge or a cloth in hot soapy water.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, scourers or metal utensils to clean the inner pot as these will damage the surface of the pot.

4 Use only a damp cloth to wipe the outside and inside of the main body of the rice cooker. Never immerse the main body in water.Wipe the heating plate with a dry cloth.
