YUMCARB EXPLAINED
YUMCARB rice cooking function is unique to Kumo. This is rice with a lower carb value than
conventionally cooked rice.
By placing the rice into the stainless steel YUMCARB basket, the rice is submerged in water at the
beginning of the cooking cycle. When first activated, the display shows 0:20 (or 0:40 for brown rice) and
will stay this way during the first 20/40 minutes of the cooking cycle. During this time, Kumo is
gradually raising the temperature inside the unit to the optimal temperature for boiling away the excess
water. This process gives time for the starch to leech out of the rice and break down (starches are
easily-dissolvable). The starchy water drains down through the holes in the YUMCARB basket, which
doesn’t allow for the starches that have leeched into the water to be reabsorbed into the rice.
The rice finishes cooking during the last 20 minutes of the cooking cycle - Kumo will start counting
down. This last phase of the cooking cycle is crucial as it steams the rice in a lowered carbohydrate
state, thereby reducing their levels in the rice by up to 25%*.
* Based on lab testing, a reduction of 25% less carbohydrates was shown in white rice. Certified by Testing Institute of Product
Quality Supervision, China

HOW TO USE THE YUMCARB FUNCTION
1.
Place the YUMCARB basket into the inner bowl. Add rice (rinse first if your rice needs it) and then
add water to the corresponding line (there are 1-3 marks for white and brown rice). Don’t worry
about the amount of water you are adding – it seems a lot but this is boiled away rapidly. If you
find the rice is too soft, reduce the water next time.
2.
Close the lid, select
you have a choice of white or brown rice. After a 5 second delay,
the cooking cycle will start and 0:20 (for white rice) or 0:40 (for brown rice) will be on the display.
3.
After the time displayed has elapsed, the display will countdown to 0:00,
the appliance will make
a sound and will automatically switch to ‘KEEP WARM’.
4.
Stir the rice well. The rice at the bottom of the YUMCARB basket will seem very wet, this is normal
– mix the rice up really well, lifting the rice from the bottom to the top and leave on keep warm
for at least another 10 minutes.
5.
There will be starchy water left in the inner bowl underneath the YUMCARB basket. When
removing the YUMCARB basket to serve the rice, be careful as the stainless steel will be very hot.
The starchy water can be discarded.
When using the YUMCARB rice cooking functions, you may find that the condensation collector becomes
full – this is due to the amount of water that is evaporated from inside. If the condensation collector is
completely full, you may find that when you open the lid, some water may spill out from the lid – be
careful as this water is hot.
