• Place the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface away
from water splashes and any other sources of heat.
• Pour the required quantity of rice into the bowl using the measuring
cup provided. Then fill with cold water up to the corresponding “CUP”
mark printed in the bowl (See cooking guide above).
• Close the lid.
RICE COOKING
The rice cooker itself determines the exact cooking time depending
on the quantity of water and ingredients placed in the bowl (see
cooking table above for a guide to timing). When all of the water has
been absorbed by the rice, the appliance stops the cooking process
automatically and enters into the “KEEP WARM” mode (the green
“KEEP WARM” indicator light comes on).
Note: Always add the rice first otherwise you will have too much water.
• Press downwards on the control switch, the cooking indicator illuminates
showing that cooking has begun - fig. 7 .
• When cooking finished, it will turn to keep warm automatically, the
“KEEP WARM” indicator light is on - fig. 8 .
• After each use empty and clean the condensation collector.
Some recommendations
for best results when cooking rice
• Measure the rice and rinse it thoroughly under running water in a sieve for
a long time (except for risotto rice which should not be rinsed). Then place
the rice in the bowl together with the corresponding quantity of water.
• Make sure that the rice is well distributed in the bowl to allow even cooking.
• Add salt to water: depending on personal taste.
• Water may be substituted with stock. If using stock, there is risk of rice
browning in the bowl.
• Do not open the lid during cooking as steam will escape and this will
affect the cooking time and the taste.
• On completion of cooking, the “KEEP WARM” indicator light is on, stir
the rice and then leave it in the rice cooker for a few minutes longer in
order to get perfect rice with separate grains.
