Using your Rice Perfect

Before using your Rice Perfect for the first
time wash the removable cooking pan, lid,
rice measuring cup and serving spoon in
warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

To Cook Rice

1. Using the rice measuring cup provided,
measure out the required quantity of
rice (refer to rice cooking chart on page

9). Make sure the rice is a level cup
measure.

NOTE:

1 level rice cup = 150g. .
1 cup uncooked white rice = 2 rice cups of

cooked white rice (approximately)
1 cup uncooked brown rice = 2½ cups cooked

brown rice (approximately)

This Sunbeam rice cup is not the same
measurement as a standard metric cup

2. Place the measured rice in a sieve, and
wash rice thoroughly under cold water.
Wash until the water runs clear. This
removes excess starch which helps to
achieve fluffier rice. Alternatively, wash
rice in the cooking pan two or three times
until the water is clear, pouring out the
milky water between each rinse.

3. Ensure the exterior of the cooking pan is
clean and dry before placing it inside the
heating vessel.

4. Place the washed rice in the cooking pan.
Add cold water to the cup level indicated
on the inside of the cooking pan or add
the quantity of water specified in the
cooking charts on page 9. Make sure
the rice on the bottom of the pan is even
when adding the water.

5. Replace the lid.

6. Insert the plug into a 230-240 volt AC
power outlet and turn the power on. The
“KEEP WARM” light will illuminate.

7. Depress the automatic control lever to
“COOK” to begin the cooking cycle. The
“COOK” light will illuminate.

8. When cooking is complete, your Rice
Perfect will automatically switch to
“KEEP WARM” mode and the “KEEP
WARM” light will illuminate.

9. With the lid on, allow rice to stand in the
“KEEP WARM” mode for 5-10 minutes
for small quantities and approximately
10-15 minutes for larger quantities. DO
NOT use metal utensils as these will
scratch the non-stick coating. A plastic
spoon is supplied.

10. The “KEEP WARM” cycle will continue
until the power is switched off. If keeping
the rice warm, stir, then replace lid. Rice
can be kept warm in the Rice Perfect for
up to 2 hours. After 2 hours rice should
be refrigerated for storage if required.

NOTE: Whilst operating, do not remove the
lid as this may affect cooking results. Do not
interfere with the automatic control lever.
Do not keep rice in the cooker for extended
periods of time on “KEEP WARM” mode
as the rice becomes dry and the quality
deteriorates.

Tips for cooking rice

Results may vary depending on the type of
rice used.

1. For fluffier rice, add a little extra water and
for firmer rice, add a little less water.

2. Should you happen to add too much extra
water, the excess water may overflow
during cooking. It is a good idea to cook
the rice with the recommended quantity of
water first and then if the rice is still firm,
add a little extra water which can be stirred
through at the end. You will then need
to depress the automatic lever to “COOK”
mode.

3. The rice cup provided is not a standard
metric measuring cup.

Sunbeam rice cup = 150g uncooked rice
= 180ml water
If you lose the rice measuring cup provided use

the ratio:
1 cup uncooked white rice = 1 cup water
1 cup uncooked brown rice = 1 ½ cups water

Cooking times will vary if using a larger
measuring cup.

4. Wash rice thoroughly until the water runs
clear.

5. Brown rice needs more water to cook,
which results in a build up of starchy water
and bubbles forming around the lid, which
can cause spitting from the air vent. Make
sure the brown rice is rinsed well before
cooking.
