Using the Pasta | Rice Gourmet™

2. Remove all packaging materials and make sure items are received in good condition.

3. Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.

4. Wash lid, colander, steam tray and accessories in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

5. Remove inner pot from rice cooker and clean with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly

before returning to cooker.

6. Wipe body clean with a damp cloth.

NOTES ON USING THE PASTA

|

RICE GOURMET:

1. The stainless steel handles will be HOT during and after operation. Always use protective oven mitts

when removing the lid, steam tray, colander or inner pot from the rice cooker.

2. When using the rice function, always place the lid on the rice cooker so that the steam vent is facing

away from the front of the rice cooker (toward the side farthest from the control panel). This will

prevent steam burns that might otherwise occur when reaching for the lid handle.

3. Foods may not be cooked in the steam tray while pasta or other foods are boiling. The high level of

water needed for boiling will often cause foods in the steam tray to become submerged in water.

Over-boiling and sputtering may also occur.

4. When using the pasta function do not cover with the lid.
5. When using the steam function, it is best to place the steam tray into the colander before inserting

into the inner pot.

6. In order to avoid damage to the nonstick coating, do not let metal utensils, scouring pads or abrasive

cleaners to come into contact with the inner pot.

7. Always use protective oven mitts when removing the lid, colander or steam tray both before and

after cooking.

• The chart on this page

refers to standard U.S.

cups (254mL).
