Kumo Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
3.4 HOW TO USE THE KEEP WARM FUNCTION
Once a cooking cycle has finished, the appliance will automatically switch to ‘KEEP WARM’. You can activate
‘KEEP WARM’ when the appliance is on stand-by (i.e. when no menu functions have been selected) by pressing
the ‘KEEP WARM’ button. There will be a 5 second delay and the keep warm will start, the button will then light up
and a count-up clock will appear on the display for your reference. The ‘KEEP WARM’ function can be used for 24
hours but you might find the rice ruins after 15 hours use.
To cancel ‘KEEP WARM’, press the power button (it doubles as the ‘CANCEL’ button), this cancels the programme
and turns the unit off.
3.5 HOW TO USE THE OTHER COOKING FUNCTIONS
3.5.1
PORRIDGE
This menu setting can be used for Asian rice porridge or oatmeal porridge. For recipes, see page 13. The default
cooking time for the ‘PORRIDGE’ setting is 1.5 hours. You can adjust this down to 1 hour or up to 3 hours using the +
and - buttons in 5 minute intervals once you have selected the ‘PORRIDGE’ setting and the light is flashing.
After selecting the time, there is a 5 second delay and the cooking cycle starts. Once the cooking cycle is
complete, the appliance will make a sound and will automatically switch to ‘KEEP WARM’.
3.5.2 STEAM
Using the provided stainless steel steaming basket, you can steam different types of food. You can cook rice and
steam food at the same time (1 cup of rice maximum) but cannot steam and cook rice with the YUMCARB
functions.
The default cooking time for the ‘STEAM’ setting is 10 minutes. You can adjust this down to 5 minutes or up to 1.5
hours in 5 minute intervals using the + or - buttons once you have selected the ‘STEAM’ setting and the light
is
flashing. After selecting the time, there is a 5 second delay and the cooking cycle starts. There will be a
countdown on the display – this will only start to countdown when the water has been heated. Using hot water
rather than cold water helps speed up the heating process.
See Section 5, page 12 for a guide to steaming
3.5.3 SLOW COOK
For cooking stews and other dishes like curries, dhal, or other pulses/grains select the ‘SLOW COOK’ setting.
The default cooking time for the ‘SLOW COOK’ setting is 2 hours. You can adjust this up to 6 hours using the + or -
buttons in 5 minute intervals once you have selected the ‘SLOW COOK’ setting and the light above is flashing
(you can press and hold to skip the time on faster). After selecting the time, there is a 5 second delay and the
cooking cycle starts. The appliance heats the contents of the inner bowl to a high temperature (you will hear
bubbling from the liquid), it then switches to a lower temperature for the slow cooking. This is the same as the
‘auto’ setting on a conventional slow cooker. Once the cooking cycle is complete, the appliance will make a
sound and will automatically switch to ‘KEEP WARM’.
Kumo is a very efficient, sealed unit fuzzy logic rice cooker, the slow cook setting will
cook food faster as there is no heat loss. A normal slow cooker recipe with a cook time of 7-8
hours will take 3-4 hours to cook in Kumo. This is to give a more efficient slow cook.
