Care and cleaning of your Electric Rice Cooker is a snap.

BEFORE USING YOUR RICE COOKER
FOR THE FIRST TIME

Remove all packaging from the Rice Cooker. Remove any labels from
the outer stainless steel surfaces.

Wash Inner Pot, Stainless Steel Steamer Insert, Glass Lid, Rice Measuring
Cup and Rice Paddle in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry well.

If the outside of the Inner Pot is wet when placed into the Rice Cooker,
this may cause a cracking noise while the unit heats up. Also, this may
cause damage to the inner working of the appliance, so always wipe
the outside of the Inner Pot completely dry before use.

DO NOT IMMERSE THE HEATING BODY OF THE RICE COOKER IN WATER
OR ANY OTHER LIQUID!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

READ BEFORE USING YOUR RUSSELL HOBBS® AUTOMATIC RICE COOKER
FOR THE FIRST TIME.

• Read all instructions.

• Never immerse Heating Body in water.

• Never place liquid in the Heating Body. Place it only in the
Inner Pot.

• Never try to force the Rice Cooking Selector Lever to stay in the
COOK Mode after it has moved up to the ON/WARM position.

• Never plug in the Rice Cooker without first placing the Inner Pot
inside the Heating Body.

• Always be sure the Inner Pot contains liquid, or be ready to add oil,
butter or margarine immediately to the Inner Pot when you plug in
the Rice Cooker.

• Remember that the Rice Measuring Cup is not a standard measuring
cup. When filled, it measures approximately 3/4 cup.

• Never wash any removable parts of the Cooker in the dishwasher.

• Save these instructions and refer to them often.

• Be careful not to dent the Inner Pot, especially the bottom of it. To
work properly and produce the best cooking results, the Inner Pot
must fit snugly on top of the Thermostat.

• DO NOT let loose grains of rice or other food particles fall into the
bottom of the Heating Body because they might prevent the
Thermostat from fitting tightly against the bottom of the Inner Pot
and cause inadequate cooking.

• Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads because they can
damage the finish of both the Inner Pot and Heating Body.

• Save these instructions and refer to them often.

Operating Instructions

COOKING RICE

Many varieties of rice can be used, including basmati, wild, black
rice, arborio, risotto, saffron rice, brown, and long grain. We do
not recommend using instant rice with this Rice Cooker.

1. Measure the amount of rice that you would like to cook.
A 180 ml (3/4 cup) Rice Measuring Cup is included with your

Rice Cooker. Filling the cup with rice makes approximately
2-1/4 cups of cooked rice.

NOTE: Make sure that the rice is leveled when the cup is filled. The

Russell Hobbs® 10 Cup Automatic Rice Cooker has the
capacity for 10 Rice Measuring Cups of raw rice.

2. For Best Results...
Pour desired amount of rice into a separate container. Wash

and rinse the rice until the rinse water is clear.*

3. Take the Inner Pot out of the Rice Cooker.
Place the washed rice into the Inner Pot and add appropriate

amount of water. (If you are making 10 cups of raw rice, add
water to the “10” mark in the inside of the Inner Pot.)

Use Rice Measuring Cup
provided to measure 10 level
Rice Measuring Cups of rice.

Add water up to
the 10-cup line

Rinse, if desired.
Add rice to the Inner Pot.

4. Replace the Inner Pot back into the Automatic Rice Cooker’s
Heating Body.

Rotate it slightly to make sure that it is well seated on the
Heating Plate/Thermostat Assembly.

NOTE: Make sure to always wipe down the outer surface of the

Inner Pot with a dry cloth. If the Inner Pot is wet when
placed into the Heating Body of the Rice Cooker, this may
cause a cracking noise while the unit heats up. Keep the
outer surface dry to prevent damage to the inner workings
of the appliance.

*For information regarding rinsing rice, please refer to

Cooking Rice General Information Section.
