Using the Rice Cooker

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
precisely 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
bowl 4.
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
