OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
HOW TO MAKE RICE
RICE / STEAM setting
1.
Use the Risotto Plus
™
rice scoop provided
to measure the required quantity of rice.
Always measure level scoops, not heaped.
2.
Place measured rice into a separate bowl
and wash with cold water to remove any
excess starch. The rice is ready for cooking
when water runs clear from the rice. Drain well.
3.
Ensure the exterior of the removable cooking
bowl is clean before placing it in the housing
(this will ensure proper contact with the inner
cooking surface) (Fig 1).
CAUTION!
1. Before starting to cook, clean the bottom of the
inner pot and the surface of the heating plate.
2. To ensure the pot is sitting flat on the heating
plate, turn the pot clockwise and anti clockwise
inside the rice cooker.
3. The pot must be properly positioned inside the
rice cooker or the unit will not work and may
become damaged.

4.
Add the washed rice to the removable
cooking bowl, ensuring rice is spread
evenly across the bottom of the bowl
and not heaped to one side.
5.
Add water using the following ratios:
White Rice =
1 scoop rice : 1 scoop water.
Brown Rice =
1 scoop rice : 1½ scoops water.
6.
Place the glass lid into position.
7.
Plug power cord into 220–240V power
outlet. The START / CANCEL button and
RISOTTO button surround will illuminate
in white.
8.
Press the RICE / STEAM button, then press
the START / CANCEL button to activate
the setting. The START / CANCEL button
surround will illuminate red and cooking
will commence.
9.
When cooking is complete, the ready
beeps will sound and the Risotto Plus
™
will
automatically switch to the KEEP WARM
setting for up to 5 hours.
10.
Open the lid and turn the rice over with the
serving spoon provided. Replace the lid
and allow the rice to stand for 10–15
minutes before serving. This allows any
excess moisture to be absorbed,
resulting in a fluffier rice texture.
NOTE
After using the RICE setting the appliance
will automatically switch to the KEEP
WARM setting for up to 5 hours.
NOTE
Do not remove the glass lid until ready to
serve (except for when turning over rice
after cooking is complete or as suggested
in the recipes).
NOTE
To stop the KEEP WARM setting, unplug
the power cord.
IMPORTANT
Do not interfere with the automatic
selector control during operation.
• Always place liquid into the
removable cooking bowl before
pressing the START/CANCEL
button.
• To prevent scratching the non-
stick surface of the removable
cooking bowl, always use
wooden or plastic utensils.
• Ensure the removable cooking
bowl is correctly positioned in
the appliance base before you
commence cooking.
