Rice Cooking

Measuring the ingredients - Max capacity of the bowl

• The graduated markings on the inside of the bowl are given in liters and cups, these are used for measuring the amount of water when cooking rice –

Fig.7.

• The plastic cup provided with your appliance is for measuring rice (not water) and the table states the quantity of rice required for the number of servings. 1 level measuring cup of rice weighs about 150 g.

• The table below gives a guide to cooking different kinds of rice. For best results, we recommend using ordinary rice rather than ‘easy cook’ type of rice which tends to give a stickier rice and may adhere to the base. With other types of rice, such as brown or wild rice, the quantities of water need adjustment check the table below.

• To cook only 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large portion) because there isn't the mark of 1 cup in the cooking pot, you should use 1 measuring cup of white rice and then add 1 1/2 measuring cup of water. With some types of rice it is normal for a little rice to stick on the base when cooking 1 cup of rice. To cook other quantity of white rice, refer to cooking guide below.

• The maximum quantity of water + rice should not exceed the 10 cup mark inside the bowl

–

Fig.7

. Depending on the type of rice, quantities of water may need adjustment. See the table below.

• Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking.

The cooking time given in the tables above is a rice cooking time guide.

• Place the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface away from water splashes and any other sources of heat.

• Pour the required quantity of rice into the bowl using the measuring cup provided. Then fill with cold water up to the corresponding “CUP” mark printed in the bowl (See cooking guide above) –

Some recommendations for best results when cooking rice

• Measure the rice and rinse it thoroughly under running water in a sieve for a long time (except for risotto rice which should not be rinsed). Then place the rice in the bowl first and fill the corresponding quantity of water.

• Make sure that the rice is well distributed in the bowl to allow even cooking.

• Add salt to water: depending on personal taste.

• Water may be substituted with stock. If using stock, there is risk of rice browning in the bowl.

• Do not open the lid during cooking as steam will escape and this will affect the cooking time and the taste.

• On completion of cooking, the “KEEP WARM” indicator light is on, stir the rice and then leave it in the rice cooker for a few minutes longer in order to get perfect rice with separate grains.

Steam cooking (for vegetables, fish, etc.)

Measuring the ingredients

• The maximum quantity of water in the bowl should not exceed the maximum CUP mark shown in “CUP” on the bowl –

Fig.7. Exceeding this level may cause overflow during use.

• The water level should be lower than the steam basket –

Fig.11

Preparation

• Pour water into the bowl.

• Place the steam basket in the bowl –

Fig.10.

• Add the ingredients in the steam basket. Ensuring that they are not packed too thightly and that some steam holes are left clear otherwise the food may cook unevenly.

• Close the lid.

To steam cook

• Press downwards on the control switch, the red cooking indicator illuminates showing that cooking has begun

– Fig.8.

• You can end the steam cooking mode by turning the control switch to its top position. The green “KEEP WARM” indicator light comes on and the appliance turns to keep warm function.

• When there is no more water in the cooking pot, it will turn to keep warm automatically, the “KEEP WARM” indicator light is on –

Fig.9.

RICE_COOKER_EASY-COOK_NC00116410_Mise en page 1 19/11/12 18:25 Page7

Keep warm function

On completion of cooking, for rice or steam cooking, the appliance enters automatically to the “KEEP WARM” function. The control switch comes up to its top position and the green “KEEP WARM” indicator light comes on. The food is thus kept warm until ready to serve. Be careful that keep warm long hours would affect the quality of rice. To switch off this function, unplug the appliance –

Fig.13

On completion of cooking

• Open the lid.

• Caution: Escaping steam is very hot –

Fig.12

• Serve the food using the plastic spoon supplied with the appliance and close the lid.

• The food remaining in the bowl will keep warm for any next servings.

• Don't forget to unplug the appliance after keep warm.

• Leave to cool for at least one hour before cleaning.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Condensation collector

• The condensation collector should be emptied and cleaned after each use.

• To remove the collector, press on each side of the plastic cover and remove –

Fig.14.

• To put the collector back, push firmly into the groove.

Bowl, basket, condensation collector, micro pressure valve and the steam basket

• To clean the micro-pressure valve, remove it from the lid –

Fig.15 and open it by rotating in the direction of “open”

–

Fig.15.

After cleaning it, wipe dry. Allow the two triangle to next –

Fig.15, and rotate it in the direction of “close” until you

heard “ka”, then put it back to the lid of the rice cooker.

• Use hot water, washing up liquid and a sponge to clean the bowl –

Fig.16, the condensation collector – Fig.17, the micro

pressure valve –

Fig.18, the spoon and the cup. Scouring

powders and metal sponges are not recommended.

• If food has stuck to the bottom, allow the bowl to soak for a while before washing it.

• Dry the bowl carefully.

Taking care of the bowl

• To keep unchanged the cosmetic of the bowl, we do not recommend to clean this one in the diswasher.

• Use plastic or wooden ustensils and not metal ones when stirring or serving food to avoid damaging the bowl surface.

• To avoid any risk of corrosion, do not pour vinegar into the bowl.

• The colour of the bowl surface may change after using for the first time or after long period of use. This change in colour is due to the action of steam and water and does not have any effect on the use of the Rice Cooker, nor is it dangerous for your health. It is perfectly safe to continue using it.

Cleaning and care of the other parts of the appliance

• Unplug the appliance before cleaning.

• Clean the outside of the Rice Cooker, the inside of the lid –

Fig.19 and the cord with a damp cloth and wipe dry.

Do not use abrasive products.

• Do not use water to clean the interior of the appliance body as it could damage the heat sensor.
