Using the Rice Cooker

With this appliance, it is possible to cook rice as
well as to steam other foods at the same time. Ex­periment with finding the right quantity of water and
the right cooking time for the various combinations.

Cooking Rice

Note:

Coat the inside of the cooking bowl 4 evenly with
a little grease or vegetable oil to achieve a better
cooking result.

1. Remove the lid 2.

2. Take the cooking bowl 4 out.

- 3 -

Note:

If the cooking bowl 4 is damaged, discontinue all
further use! Due to the damage it may be that the
safety shut-off of the appliance has triggered and
the appliance does not allow itself to be switched on.

Note:

If you use warm water the cooking time can be
shortened. In this case, use somewhat less water
than is given on the cup marking in the cooking
bowl 4.

3. Measure the desired quantity of rice using the

supplied measuring cup.
As a general rule: A level measuring cup - filled
with rice - yeilds a portion for one person. Deter­mine the right quantity of rice and water for you
in a few cooking attempts.

4. Thoroughly wash and sieve the loose rice. Nu-

trients will be lost with this, however, if you do
not wash the rice this could lead to poor cooking
results and elevated foam and steam formation
in the cooking bowl 4. Also, always pay heed
to the preparation instructions of the rice produ­cer.

5. After washing it, pour the rice into the cooking

bowl 4 and smooth it out.

Note:

Place at least 2 measuring beakers of rice into the
rice cooker! A lesser volume of rice could cause
inferior cooking results!

6. Then add water in the cooking bowl 4 as per

the following cup markings:

• 2 Measuring beakers of rice =
Water up to cup marking "2"

• 4 Measuring beakers of rice =
Water up to cup marking "4"

• 6 Measuring beakers of rice =
Water up to cup marking "6"

• 8 Measuring beakers of rice =
Water up to cup marking "8"

• 10 Measuring beakers of rice =
Water up to cup marking "10"

Subject to taste preferences, salt can also be
added to the rice.

Note:

Subject to the type/sort of rice being prepared, it
could be that you may have to insert a little more or
less water to achieve an optimal cooking result.
Vary the amount of water in accordance with your
individual experiences and personal preference.

7. When the cooking bowl 4 is full, place it back
in the rice cooker housing.

Ensure that...

- ... to avoid dirtying the cooking area, check to

make sure there is no moisture or rice located on
the outside of the cooking bowl 4. If necessary,
wipe the outside with a clean cloth.

- ... the cooking bowl 4 is not skewed or tilted

when being placed in the rice cooker housing. Al­ways insert the cooking bowl 4 correctly and pre-
cisely into the rice cooker housing. If you do not, it
may be that the safety shut-off of the
appliance will trigger and the appliance does not
allow itself to be switched on.

Note:

This appliance is fitted with a safety switch:
the cooking process cannot be started with an empty
cooking vessel 4 without a lid 2. However, with the
lid 2 in place the cooking process can also be started
with an empty cooking vessel.

8. Close the appliance lid 2.

9. Insert the power cable into the socket 8 on
the side of the appliance.

10. Insert the power plug into a properly installed
power socket. The yellow control lamp 5
glows.

Important!

During the cooking process steam is emitted from
the steam exit opening 1. NEVER hold your hands
or other parts of the body over the steam exit ope­ning 1 during the cooking process. There is a risk
of receiving severe scalds!

11. Press the function selector switch 7 down. The
yellow control lamp 5 extinguishes and
the red control lamp 6 starts to glow.
The cooking process begins.

Note:

If the cooking bowl 4 is not correctly positioned,
the function selector switch 7 cannot be moved to
the setting "Cooking".

As soon as the rice is cooked, the rice cooker switches
itself automatically back to the keep-warm setting.
The red control lamp 6 extinguishes and the
yellow control lamp 5 starts to glow.

12. Open the lid 2. The rice is now ready for
consumption.

Attention!

For removal of the rice use exclusively the supplied
plastic spoon. If you do not, the non-stick coating
could be damaged.

Steaming

Important!

Do not lift the steaming attachment 3 up during the
steaming process - the escaping steam brings with it
the real risk of scalding. The steaming attachment 3
becomes hot during the steaming process. When
taking hold of the steaming attachment 3, use oven
cloths or something similar to lift it from the cooking
bowl 4.

Note:

Ensure that the cooking bowl 4 is also inserted
correctly when it is used for steaming. The cooking
bowl 4 must not be damaged. If it is, it may be that
the safety shut-off of the appliance will trigger and
the appliance does not allow itself to be switched
on.

1. Pour the required amount of water into the cooking
bowl 4. The cooking time is dependant on the
inserted volume of water. Take note of the examples
given in the following table.

• 1 filled measuring cup is sufficient for about
15 minutes of steaming.

• 2 filled measuring cups are sufficient for about
30 minutes of steaming, etc.

If you do not consume the rice immediately

• During the keep-warm period, do not open the
lid 2.

• Do not leave the rice for longer than 2 hours in
the keep.warm state.

Important!

Always remove the plug from the mains power sok­ket when the rice cooker is not in use. Otherwise,
there is a permanent risk of receiving an electric
shock!
