Kumo Multi-Function Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
3.3.1 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.
Also see the ‘Speedy Start Guide’ on the back of the warranty card and page 17 for a guide to cooking
rice with the YUMCARB function.
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 14.
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 13 for a guide to steaming
