Using Your Rice Cooker

Before First Use

Remove any packaging or 

promotional labels and wash the 

removable cooking bowl, steaming 

rack, glass lid, measuring cup and 

serving spoon in warm soapy water, 

rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not immerse the cord or cooking 

body in water or any other liquid.
Remove the removable cooking bowl. 

Using the measuring cup provided, 

measure out the required amount of 

rice and place into the removable 

cooking bowl.
Wash the rice in the cooking bowl 

with cold water, drain this water from 

the rice, and continue this process 

until the water appears clear. Add the 

required amount of cold tap water.
Please refer to the Rice Cooking 

Guide on page 9 for quantities. 

Thoroughly dry the removable 

cooking bowl exterior.

NOTE:

 When measuring rice use 

the measuring cup provided 

and level off. (Fig. 1)

Fig. 1

NOTE:

 The minimum quantity of 

uncooked white rice that can  

be cooked in the rice cooker is  

1 Rice Express measuring cup 

(as included).

Place the removable cooking bowl 

into the cooking body.
Place the glass lid into position on top 

of the removable cooking bowl.
Plug the appliance into a 230V or 

240V power point and switch on.
To begin cooking, push the cooking 

lever down. The cooking indicator 

light will illuminate (red). 

NOTE:

 There will only be one 

light on at a time, red for the 

‘COOK’ setting and amber for 

the keep ‘WARM’ setting.

When cooking is completed, the rice 

cooker will automatically switch to 

the ‘WARM’ setting and the amber 

‘WARM’ indicator light will illuminate.
When the rice finishes cooking and 

switches to the ‘WARM’ setting, lift the 

glass lid and gently stir the rice using 

the serving spoon.
For extra soft rice or to absorb any 

excess moisture, replace the lid and 

allow to sit on the ‘WARM’ setting for 

10-15 minutes.
Once cooked, the rice can be 

kept on the ‘WARM’ setting for up 

to 5 hours, without losing its taste. 

However, when cooking 1 cup of 

rice, if left on the ‘WARM’ setting, the 

rice will become dry.
