Sunbeam are very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer products,
but it is essential that the product user also
exercise care when using an electrical appliance.
Listed below are precautions which are essential
for the safe use of an electrical appliance:

• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.

• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.

• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.

• Close supervision is necessary when your
appliance is being used near children or
infirm persons.

• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use.

• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas
flame, electric element or on a heated oven.
Do not place on top of any other appliance.

• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang
over the edge of a table or bench top or touch
any hot surface.

• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.

• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a
damaged cord or after the appliance has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. If damage
is suspected, return the appliance to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.

• For additional protection, Sunbeam
recommend the use of a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying power to your appliances.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.

If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,
please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.

Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

Serving Spoon

Ideal for stirring and serving rice from the

non-stick surface on the cooking pan.

Large 7 Cup Capacity

Prepare from 2 to 7 cups of uncooked rice at
any time. Produces 14+ cups of cooked rice.

1. Before using your Rice Perfect Deluxe 7
for the first time wash the cooking pan,
measuring cup and serving spoon in
warm soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.

Position the serving spoon holder to the
side of the heating vessel and
condensation collector below the lid
hinge. Refer to illustration on previous
page.

2. Using the measuring cup provided,
measure out the required quantity of rice.

NOTE: 1 level cup measure = 180mls.
1 cup of uncooked rice = 2 cup

of cooked rice (approximately).
Min. quantity of uncooked rice = 2 cups
Max. quantity of uncooked rice = 7 cups

3. Using a sieve, wash rice thoroughly under
cold water before cooking. This removes
excess starch which helps to achieve
fluffier rice.

NOTE: A fine mesh sieve is the most
effective way to wash rice. Run water
through rice until the water runs clear not
milky.

4. Ensuring that the exterior of the cooking
pan is clean and dry, place it inside the
heating vessel.

5. Place the washed rice in the removable
pan. Add cold water to the level indicated
on the inside of the removable pan. See
cooking charts on page 6.

6. Close the lid until the latch clicks and lid
is fully closed.

7. Insert the plug into a 230-240 volt power
outlet and turn the power on. (The
“COOK” light will illuminate).

8. Depress the automatic control lever to
“COOK” to begin the cooking cycle.
The “COOK” light will stay illuminated.

NOTE: DO NOT put your face or hands
over the steam vent while cooking.

9. When cooking is complete, your Rice
Perfect Deluxe 7 will automatically switch
to “KEEP WARM” mode and the “KEEP
WARM” light will illuminate. DO NOT
open the lid until steaming has stopped.

10.Allow rice to stand in the “KEEP WARM”
mode for 5-10 minutes (2-4 cups rice)
and 10-15 minutes (5-7 cups rice), with
the lid closed before serving. DO NOT use
metal utensils as these will scratch the
non-stick coating. Allow cooking pan to
cool before removing.

NOTE: If the lid is opened immediately
the condensation collector may overflow.

11.The “KEEP WARM” cycle will continue
until the power is switched off. If keeping
the rice warm, stir to release steam, then
close lid. Rice can be kept warm in the
Rice Perfect Deluxe 7 for up to 2 hours.
After 2 hours rice should be refrigerated
for storage, if required.

NOTE: During operating – do not open the
lid as this may affect cooking results. Do
not interfere with the automatic control
lever. Do not keep less than 2 cups of
rice in the cooker for extended periods of
time on “KEEP WARM” mode as the rice
becomes dry and the quality will
deteriorate.
