Kumo Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
Kumo is designed to cook rice using 7 distinct phases to produce perfect rice every time and to carefully retain
nutrients. These phases are Preheat, Absorb water, Heating, Boiling, Braising, Absorb water and then finally Keep
warm (in this order). This phased cooking and adjustments in temperature are controlled using Kumo’s fuzzy logic
processor.

COOKING RICE IN KUMO
1.
Measure
the rice with the measuring cup provided. Make sure the rice is level to the top of the cup – this
is a full cup (180ml) measurement.
2.
Clean
the rice (if needed) as directed in ‘4.1 HOW TO COOK PERFECT RICE’. Place the inner bowl into the
appliance,
put the rice into the inner bowl
and
fill to the water line
that corresponds to the amount/type
of rice you are cooking.
3.
Close the lid and
select
the rice setting you want to cook with. There is
no start button
, the cooking cycles
will
start automatically after a 5 second delay
.
During the rice cooking cycles, a chasing lines pattern comes on the display to indicate
Kumo is cooking, a
countdown
will appear in the
last 10 minutes
.
If you want to cook
½ cup of rice
, there isn’t a mark on the inner bowl for this. Use the
measuring cup to add the water – 1/2 a measuring cup of water for white rice and 1 cup of
water for brown rice.
