OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before first use, remove all packaging
material and promotional labels and wash
the non-stick removable cooking bowl,
stainless steel steaming tray and glass lid in
hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
HOW TO MAKE RISOTTO
SAUTÉ|SEAR setting
1. Ensure exterior of the removable
cooking bowl is clean before placing
it in the housing (this will ensure
proper contact with the inner

for approximately 2–3 minutes (do
not pre-heat for longer than
5 minutes).
5. Add oil/butter and allow to heat/
melt for approximately 1 minute.
6. If using chicken or seafood in
the recipe, sear in small batches,
cover with lid and stir occasionally
until food is cooked. Remove from
cooking bowl.
7. Add extra oil/butter to cooking bowl
if necessary or if recipe states. Allow
to heat for approximately 1 minute.
8. Add ingredients such as onions
and garlic. Sauté, cover with lid if
necessary and stir occasionally for
about 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked
to desired brownness.
9. Stir in Arborio or carnaroli rice and
mix well. Sauté for approximately
2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
NOTE
There may be occasions when the
Multi Cooker™ switches to the
KEEP WARM setting or switches
off before cooking is complete.
If this occurs, simply press the
desired cooking button, then press
the START|CANCEL button. The
START|CANCEL button surround will
illuminate red and the selected setting
will be activated. This is a safety
mechanism to prevent overheating
due to certain cooking conditions.
TIP
Allow the risotto to rest in the KEEP
WARM setting for 5 or 10 minutes to
finish cooking.
TIP
For optimum risotto results, we
recommend you stir once after 15–20
minutes in the RISOTTO setting.
NOTE
The Multi Cooker™ rice scoop is not a standard metric measuring cup.
1 Multi Cooker™ rice scoop is equal to 150g of uncooked rice and 180ml of water.
If your Multi Cooker™ rice scoop is lost or misplaced, use another cup but maintain
the same cooking ratios and ensure you do not exceed the 10 scoop maximum line in
the removable cooking bowl:
White Rice = 1 scoop rice + 1 scoop water
Brown Rice = 1 scoop rice + 1½ scoops water
}
Using the Multi Cooker™ rice scoop
HOW TO MAKE RICE
RICE|STEAM setting
1. Use the Multi Cooker™ rice scoop
provided to measure the required
quantity of rice (refer to cooking
tables - page 18).
Always measure level scoops, not
heaped (Fig 1).
