Functions

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove all promotional labels and any 

packaging materials from the rice cooker. 

Ensure that you have all parts and accessories 

listed before discarding the packaging.
Wash the cooking bowl, lid seal assembly, 

steaming basket, measuring cup, serving 

spoon and serving ladle in hot, soapy water, 

rinse and dry thoroughly. 

USING THE RICE COOKER

Ensure that the rice cooker housing and the 

exterior of the cooking bowl are clean and clear 

of any debris before placing the cooking bowl 

into the bowl cavity. This will ensure proper 

contact with the inner cooking surface. 
Always ensure the lid seal assembly is properly 

attached to the lid before cooking (instructions 

to install and remove lid seal assembly on  

page 18).
Insert the power cord into the power plug inlet 

on the right hand side of the rice cooker. Plug 

the power plug into a 230V or 240V power 

outlet and switch on. The rice cooker will beep 

once and the screen will illuminate, showing 

the current internal temperature of the cooking 

bowl.

The removable cooking bowl has cup and 

liquid levels marked on the inside of the bowl.  

Use these markings when cooking brown rice 

or porridge only. For other rice types, follow the 

ratios outlined on page 14 and 15.
When using the cup markings, place 2 cups 

of rice in the bowl, then fill with liquid to 

the 2 CUP marking. When using the liquid 

markings, place 0.5kg of rice in the bowl, then 

fill to the 0.5L marking with liquid.

COOKING FUNCTIONS

The Smart Rice Box has 8 pre-set cooking 

functions; use the MENU button to navigate 

between functions. The arrow next to the 

function on the control panel will illuminate 

and flash when a function is pending. 
For all rice cooking functions, the LED screen 

will display the current bowl temperature. The 

cooking time cannot be adjusted on the rice 

cooking and cake functions as the timing is 

determined by the Fuzzy Logic technology. 
For the steam, soup and porridge functions the 

LED screen will display the default cooking 

time. The cooking time can be adjusted for 

these functions. 
To adjust the cooking time, select the TIMER 

button followed by the HOUR and MIN 

buttons until the desired time is displayed on 

the LED screen.
To confirm the function, select START. The 

function arrow and START button will remain 

illuminated to indicate that the cooking 

function has commenced.
