RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BEST RICE COOKING (Rice and Pilaf/
Risotto functions)
• Before cooking, measure the rice with a measuring cup and rinse it
(except for risotto rice).
• Distribute the rinsed rice evenly around the whole surface of the
bowl. Fill the bowl with water to the corresponding water level (the
graduation is in cups).
• When the rice is ready and when the “Keep Warm” indicator light is
on, stir the rice and then leave it in the multicooker for a few minutes
longer in order to get perfect rice with separated grains.
