cupboards or anything that might be damaged or deformed by hot steam.
20 Use extreme caution when opening the lid

BEFORE FIRST USE
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE REMOVABLE BOWL IS COMPLETELY DRY, INSIDE AND OUT, BEFORE PLACING IT INTO THE RICE COOKER BASE.
Wash the steamer rice scoop
, removable bowl
with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth.
RICE COOKING GUIDE
ALWAYS TAKE CARE TO AVOID THE EXPULSION OF STEAM WHEN REMOVING THE LID.
1 Measure the desired amount of rice using the measuring cup
provided. One cup of rice will provide approximately two
cups of cooked rice.
2 Rinse the rice in the removable bowl 4 until the water
becomes relatively clear and dispose of the water.
3 Use the water measurement lines inside the removable bowl
add an appropriate amount of water. For softer rice, allow rice to soak for 10-20 minutes prior to cooking.
4 Close the lid 1 and plug mains cable into a socket.
5 Press the operation switch 9 down to cook mode. The COOK
indicator 7 will light up.
6 For best results leave the lid 1 on for first 10-15 minutes of
cooking.
7 To check on the rice, carefully open the lid 1 and keep clear of
the escaping steam to avoid burns.
8 When cooking is complete, the rice cooker will automatically
switch to ‘keep warm’ mode and the KEEP WARM indicator
will light up.
9 After cooking, allow rice to stand for 5-10 minutes without
removing the lid 1. This will ensure that rice is thoroughly cooked.
10 Disconnect the rice cooker from the power supply, then lift
the removable bowl 4 from the rice cooker base 5 using the oven gloves. Place it on a heatproof surface and use the provided rice scoop 10 to fluff the rice.
DO NOT KEEP THE FOOD IN ‘KEEP WARM’ MODE LONGER THAN 5-10
MINUTES AS IT WILL START TO DRY AND LOSE FLAVOUR.
HELPFUL HINTS
Rinsing the rice before cooking will remove excess bran and starch as well as nutrients and will result in loose rice with easily separated grains. Unwashed rice is sticky and more suitable for dishes like sushi or riceballs.
Some types of rice may stick to the bottom of the removable bowl. To prevent sticking add a little vegetable oil before adding the rice.
Raisins and dried fruits will absorb as much water as rice, so put them into the measuring cup along with the rice.

will light up.
HELPFUL HINTS
Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no
to
need to increase the amount of water for larger servings of vegetables. For more even cooking cut all pieces of food into the same size.
Keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process. Opening the lid will cause a loss of heat and steam, resulting in longer cooking time
If you find it necessary to open the lid, use extreme caution. You may want to add a small amount of water to restore the cooking time. Altitude, humidity and room temperature may affect cooking times.
CLEANING
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE RICE COOKER AND ALLOW IT TO COMPLETELY COOL DOWN BEFORE CLEANING AND STORING AWAY.

STEAMING TIMES
These times are for a single layer of food. You will need to experiment to find the times which suit your favourite foods and food combinations.
