About Your Digital Multi-Cooker
Your Wolfgang Puck Digital Multi-Cooker is equipped with a micro
computer chip that regulates the temperature for a wide variety or rice
grains providing perfect results every time. In addition to cooking rice,
you can steam, slow cook, and even set the Delay Timer to come home
from work to a perfectly fresh pot of rice.
The Steam function allows you to set the time from 5 – 30 minutes,
and will not start counting down until the water has reached boiling
temperature. The Slow Cook function is programmed to simulate
traditional slow cookers that have both a High and Low temperature
setting. And when you are finished cooking, clean up is a breeze with
the nonstick removable pot. Please read through this manual to
familiarize yourself with all of the features and benefits that this
Multi-Cooker offers.

full scoops of rice to the pot. Add water to the 10 cup line on the
inside of the pot. Always add the rice to the pot BEFORE adding the
water to the pot. The water level marked on the inner pot is based
upon having rice added already. Follow the above example for
smaller quantities, i.e. 5 cups of rice added to the Pot, then water
