INTRODUCTION

The Salton Rice Cooker provides a simple trouble free method for cooking
perfect rice every time. The “Warm” function automatically keeps the rice warm,
fluffy and ready to serve for up to 6 hours. The large capacity of the Rice cooker
makes it possible to prepare rice economically and deliciously for a
family, for a party or for bulk cooking for the freezer.

Many foods may be steamed in the Steamer Basket including meat, fish, poultry,
vegetables or even steamed puddings. Steam cooking is quick and easy, but
more importantly, it preserves the original flavours and nutritional value.

Your Salton Rice Cooker is a versatile small appliance. Soup, stews and one pot
dinners can all be prepared in your Salton Rice Cooker and it keeps food warm
until you are ready to serve.

HOW TO COOK RICE

1. Open the Rice Cooker by pressing on the Lid Release Button and lifting
the Lid by the Lid Handle.

2. Lift out the Rice Bowl and make sure that the outside of the Bowl is clean
and dry and that the Heat Sensor in the center, on the inside of the Base,
is clean, dry and cool. Measure rice and cold water and place evenly
in Rice Bowl. Many types of rice use 2 measures of liquid to 1 measure
of rice but see package directions for correct proportions. Do not exceed
rice and water proportions that would make more than 18 cups of
cooked rice. IMPORTANT: NEVER PUT ANY WATER INTO THE RICE

COOKER BASE

3. Place the Rice/Cooking Bowl back in the Rice Cooker Base. Make sure
that the Rice/Cooking Bowl is seated correctly by turning the Bowl
slightly from side to side.

4. Make sure that the Inner Lid Gasket is in the correct position under
the Inner Lid.

5. Close the Lid. You will hear a ‘click’ when the Lid is closed properly.

6. Plug Power Cord into the Rice Cooker then into a 120 volt AC outlet.

7. Depress the Switch and the red ‘Cook’ Indicator Light will light up
to show that the cooking cycle has started. NOTE: DO NOT depress
the Switch before placing the Inner Pot containing the ingredients into the
Cooker. DO NOT block the Steam Vent while Rice Cooker is operating.

8. When the cooking is complete, the red ‘Cook’ Light will go out and
the amber ‘Warm’ cycle light will light up.

9. Open the Lid and fluff rice with the Spatula as soon as the yellow light
comes on. The rice can be served immediately or close the Lid and leave
the rice in the Rice Cooker for up to 6 hours to keep warm. NOTE: Before
removing the Rice/Cooking Bowl from the Rice Cooker, always unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet.

10. Any drops of water on the Lid will be collected in the Dew Collector. Empty
after each use. See the Care & Cleaning section for removal instructions.
