Measuring cup

The measuring cup (Cup) contains two
scales. One shows the content in millilitres
(ml), the other one in ‘cups’. The maximum
content (180 ml or 1 cup) is reached if the
cup is completely full.
For cooking rice, only a full cup measure is
required.

Rice pan with CUP and L-scales

∙ The CUP scale is suitable for measuring

rice with the measuring cup (Cup)
provided:

∙ Use the measuring cup to put the desired

quantity of rice into the rice pan (between
2 and 10 cups).

∙ Fill the rice pan with water up to the

appropriate CUP scale marking on inside
the pan. If, for example, 4 cups of rice
have been put in, the water level should
reach the 4-mark on the CUP scale inside
the pan.

∙ The L-scale permits measuring the

amount of rice using any standard
measuring cup:

∙ Fill the measuring cup with 0.6 -1.8 l of

rice.

∙ Fill the rice pan with water up to the

appropriate L-scale marking inside the
pan. If, for example, 1 L of rice has been
put in, the water level should reach up
to the 1.0 mark on the L-scale inside the
pan.

Temperature control

The appliance uses an integral temperature
control. Once the water has completely
evaporated during the cooking process, the
unit automatically switches to the keep-warm
function.

Selector switch

The selector switch can be used to switch
between the cooking and keep-warm
functions.
The switch cannot be operated unless the
rice pan is correctly fi tted inside the housing.

Operation

Cooking rice

∙ Open the lid of the rice cooker by holding

down the lid release, and pulling the lid up

by its handle.
∙ Place the rice pan inside the appliance.
∙ Put the desired quantity of rice into the

rice pan (see Rice pan with CUP and

L-scales).
∙ Add water to the rice until the appropriate

mark on the Cup or L-scale inside the

pan is reached.
∙ Add salt as desired.
∙ Close the lid.
∙ Connect the power cord to the rice cooker

fi rst, and then insert the plug into the wall

socket.
∙ Turn the On/Off switch on the left side on

the appliance on.
∙ Push the selector switch down.
∙ The cooking process begins as indicated

by the red cooking indicator light.
∙ Once the water has completely

evaporated during the cooking process,

the unit automatically switches to the

keep-warm function. The red cooking

indicator light goes out and is replaced by

the yellow keep-warm indicator light.
∙ The rice should then be left to stand for

further 5 minutes before being removed

from the pan.
∙ Switch off the appliance and remove the

plug from the wall socket.
∙ Use the lid release to open the lid.

∙

Danger of scalding. Beware of

escaping steam.

Useful hints on cooking rice

∙ Always check the packaging for

information on whether the rice needs to
be washed before cooking.

∙ Should you prefer softer rice, check the

packaging for specifi c information about
steamed rice, or pre-soak the rice in water
for approximately 15 minutes before
cooking.

∙ This rice cooker is not suitable for

preparing rice pudding or creamed rice,
as the milk will burn.

Steaming

Meat, potatoes and vegetables can be
steamed using the steaming tray.

∙ Put 3 cups (Cup) of water into the rice

pan. This amount of water is suffi cient to
steam for 30 minutes.

∙ Put the prepared food into the steaming

tray and place it into the rice pan.
∙ Close the lid.
∙ Connect the power cord to the rice cooker

fi rst before inserting the plug into the wall

socket.
∙ Turn the On/Off switch on the left side on

the appliance on.
∙ Push the selector switch down.
∙ The cooking process begins.
∙ The steaming time largely depends on

the type of food used. While caulifl ower

and carrots require a steaming time of

approx. 15 minutes, zucchini only need

10 minutes.
∙ In order to prevent the steam from

escaping during the steaming process,

the lid should be kept closed.
∙ Once the desired steaming time has

elapsed, switch the appliance off and

13

remove the plug from the wall socket.

∙ Use the lid release to open the lid.
∙ Danger of scalding. Beware of

escaping steam.

∙ Use an oven cloth to remove the

steaming tray carefully from the rice pan.

∙ Any remaining water in the rice pan may

be poured out once the appliance has
suffi ciently cooled down.

Condensation collection container

∙ The condensation container at the rear of

the lid collects any condensation forming
on the inside of the lid.

∙ The container must be emptied after each

cycle of use.

∙ Simply pull the container out, empty and

then re-insert it.

Cleaning and care

∙ Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance

from the mains and wait until it has
completely cooled down.

∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do

not clean the appliance with liquids or
immerse it.

∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning

solutions.

∙ The appliance should be cleaned only

with a damp, lint-free cloth.

∙ The rice pan, steaming tray and the

spoon can be cleaned with hot water.
Note: These parts are not dish-washer

safe.
∙ Empty the condensation container.
∙ The lid can be cleaned outside and inside

with a damp, lint-free cloth.
∙ The steam release should be removed

after each cycle of use und thoroughly

rinsed. Ensure that it is completely dry

before being replaced.

14

fi tted with the vents facing away from the
handle.
