• The graduated markings on the inside of the bowl are given in liters
and cups, these are used for measuring the amount of water when
cooking rice - fig. 6 .
• The plastic cup provided with your appliance is for measuring rice and
the table states the quantity of rice required for the number of servings.
1 level measuring cup of rice weighs about 150 g.
• The table below gives a guide to cooking different kinds of rice. For best
results, we recommend using ordinary rice rather than ‘easy cook’ type
of rice which tends to give a stickier rice and may adhere to the base.
With other types of rice, such as brown or wild rice, the quantities of
water need adjustment check the table below.
• To cook only 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large portion)
because there isn’t the mark of 1 cup in the cooking pot, you should
use 1 measuring cup of white rice and then add 1 1/2 measuring cup of
water. With some types of rice it is normal for a little rice to stick on the
base when cooking 1 cup of rice. To cook other quantity of white rice,
refer to cooking guide below.
• The maximum quantity of water + rice should not exceed the 5.5 or 10
cup mark (depending on model) inside the bowl (depending on model)
- fig. 6 . Depending on the type of rice, quantities of water may need
adjustment. See the table below.
