Less or more water can be used depending on your personal taste. If less water is used it will reduce the cooking time. If
more water is used then it will take longer to cook the rice.

Due to the extra water needed to cook Brown Rice, the maximum amount of Brown Rice that can be cooked at one time
is 8 cups.

Special Instructions:

•

Brown rice, wild rice and rice mixes vary in their make-up. Some variations may require longer cooking times
and/or additional water in order to achieve optimum results. Refer to the individual package instructions for

cooking suggestions.

measuring cup provided.

maximum capacity of this unit is 10 cups of uncooked rice (8 cups if brown rice) which yields 20 cups of

cooked rice (16 cups brown rice).

To Steam Vegetables/Fish:

• When steaming only, add the appropriate amount of water to the inner cooking bowl according to the food
to be cooked, see below table for steaming guide.

• Place the inner cooking bowl inside the Rice Cooker, ensuring the bowl is completely clean and dry, then
place the steamer tray on top of the cooking bowl . Add the vegetables to be cooked/steamed to the

steamer tray. Smaller foods that may fall through the holes in the steamer tray may be placed in a heat-
proof dish and placed on the steamer tray.

• Close the lid and plug the power cord into the mains socket.

• Switch the Rice Cooker on, the Cook light will illuminate.

• Once the Vegetables have reached the required cooking times check to see if they are cooked to your taste.

overcooked if left in warm mode for more than a few minutes. To switch off remove the plug from the
mains socket.

Note: The below table provides a general guide to quantity and cooking/steaming times of vegetables.
Cooking/steaming times may be varied according to personal preferences. Less water means the Rice Cooker

Trouble Shooting Guide:

Problem Solution

Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.

If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the rice cooker switches to Warm
mode, additional water and cooking time will soften the rice.

Depending on how dry your rice is, add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir
thoroughly close the lid and press down the power switch to Cook mode,
(it may take a few minutes before you can switch it back on to cook mode).
When the rice cooker switches to Warm mode, open the lid and stir the
rice to check the consistency. Repeat as necessary until rice is soft and
moist.

Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.

If your rice is still too wet or soggy when the rice cooker switches to Warm
mode, use the rice paddle to stir the rice. This will redistribute the bottom,
(moistest), part of the rice as well as release excess moisture.
Close the lid and allow to remain on Warm mode for 10-30 minutes as
needed, opening the lid and stirring periodically to release excess
moisture.
