Using your Rice Perfect Deluxe 10
1. Before using your Rice Perfect Deluxe 10 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 = 10 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
4
“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 10 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 (5-10 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 10 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.
Care and Cleaning
After using your Rice Perfect Deluxe 10, turn the power off and remove the cord from the power outlet.
The removable pan, condensation collector, measuring cup, steaming tray, serving spoon and holder should be washed in warm water using a mild detergent. DO NOT use harsh abrasives to clean the removable cooking pan as these will damage the non-stick coating. The interior and exterior of the cooking vessel can be wiped over with a damp cloth.
CAUTION: Never immerse the heating vessel in water.
DO NOT place any part of your Rice Perfect Deluxe 10 in a dishwasher. The hot water temperatures and harsh detergents may warp or stain the parts.
CAUTION: Never use any chemical, steel wool, harsh abrasive cleaners, thinners or chemical dust cloths to clean any part of your Rice Perfect Deluxe 10.
WARNING: Do not allow water to enter the inside of the heating vessel as this may cause electrocution.

Tips for cooking rice
– Results may vary depending on type of rice used. – For fluffier rice, add a little extra water and for firmer rice, add a little less water. – Should you happen to add too much extra water, the excess water may overflow during
cooking. Sometimes it is a good idea to cook the rice with the recommended quantity of water first and then if the rice is still crunchy, a little extra water can be stirred through and the ‘COOK’ lever activated again.
– Cup measure provided equals approximately 135g of rice. If you misplace the measuring
cup provided please refer to the quantities using a metric cup in the table(s) following. Please note that cooking times may vary due to slight differences between the cup provided and a metric cup.
