Warning: if the bowl has not been placed in the appliance, cooking cannot begin.

lights up in green - Fig. 8 The food thus remains hot, ready to be served.

• When cooking rice or steaming, the Automatic Rice Cooker will automatically determine the exact cooking time, depending on the quantity of water and the ingredients placed in the bowl.

A few tips for better results in cooking rice:

• Measure the rice and wash it separately

under running water. Place the rice in the bowl with the right quantity of water.

• At the end of cooking time, when the “keep warm” function comes into operation, stir the rice and leave it in the Automatic Rice Cooker for a few minutes to obtain perfect results.

• Make sure that the rice is spread over the whole surface of the bowl to ensure even cooking.
