Using the Steamer basket
1.Measure water into rice bowl. Place foods to be steamed into the
steamer basket; place basket in the rice bowl.
2.Place rice bowl with basket into base
and close the lid
.
3.Plug cord into a 120V 60 Hz AC only outlet
.
4.Push lever down to start cooking. Cook according to times indicated
in recipes.
It is advised that you clean your rice cooker and all of the used
accessories after each use. Ensure the rice cooker is unplugged before
cleaning. NEVER clean the rice cooker while it is still plugged in.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of the rice cooker. Do
not immerse the main body in water. Remove the rice bowl, and the
steamer basket (if used) from the main body. Wash these items in warm
soapy water along with the spatula and measuring scoop. Do not use any
scouring pads on the rice bowl as they will damage
the non -stick coating. If rice has "baked" on the
rice bowl and regular washing will not remove it,
place hot soapy water into the bowl and let it sit.
After allowing the bowl to soak, the rice should be
loosened enough to remove. If this does not work,
continue to let the rice bowl soak.
After every use, a residue will build up on the
underside of the lid plate. To clean, wipe the lid and
the large silicone ring (being careful not to remove
it) with a warm, damp cloth. We recommend
removing the silicone gasket by turning counter
clockwise to unlock from the lid plate.
●
Try using beef, poultry or vegetable stock instead of water for more
flavourful rice.
●
Experiment with different kinds of rice. Your rice cooker is perfect for
many kinds of rice including Wild Rice blends, Jasmine Rice, Brown
Rice and Basmati Rice.
●
Rinsing your rice washes away excess starch and makes fluffier rice.
Do not wash flavored or enriched rice; it will wash away flavours and
valuable nutrients.
●
Do not open lid during cooking or cook with lid open. Heat and
moisture will escape and affect the final outcome.
●
Always ensure that the outside of your rice bowl and the inside of the
rice cooker body are clean and dry before starting any cooking mode.
●
When cooking rice, ensure that the rice is well distributed around the
rice bowl to allow for even cooking.

HELPFUL HINTS
Wipe the gasket and the steam vent with a warm, damp cloth. Ensure the
silicone gasket is properly inserted into the lid plate before using.
Be sure to clean the condensation chamber located on the side of the rice
cooker body. To clean, remove the chamber by pressing on the sides of the
plastic cover and removing by pulling outwards. Clean by running the
plastic cover under warm running water. Dry thoroughly and replace by
pushing the cover back into the groove on the rice cooker body.
To clean the inside of your rice cooker, ensure it has cooled down. Use a
damp cloth to clean the inside removing remaining food and moisture. Dry
thoroughly.
To clean the main body of the rice cooker, wipe the exterior including the
lid with a damp cloth.
NEVER
immerse any part of the main body in water
or liquid. Polish the exterior of the rice cooker with a dry, soft cloth.
