ASSEMBLING YOUR RICE COOKER

1. 

 Before first use, remove all packaging 

material and promotional labels.

2. 

 Wash the non-stick removable cooking 

bowl, stainless steel steaming tray and 

glass lid in hot soapy water, rinse and 

dry thoroughly. To prevent scratching 

the non-stick surface of the removable 

cooking bowl, always use wooden or 

plastic utensils.

3. 

 Ensure the exterior of the removable 

cooking bowl is clean before placing it 

in the housing (this will ensure proper 

contact with the inner cooking surface) 

(Fig 2).

4. 

 Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V 

power outlet. The START|CANCEL 

button and RICE|STEAM button 

surround will illuminate white. The rice 

cooker is now ready for use.

RICE|STEAM SETTING
RICE COOKING

1. 

 Follow assembly instructions on page 6.

Fig. 1

2. 

Use the scoop provided to measure 

the required quantity of rice (refer 

to cooking tables - page 17). Always 

measure level scoops, not heaped (Fig 1).

3. 

Place measured rice into a separate bowl 

and wash with cold water to remove 

any excess starch. The rice is ready for 

cooking when water runs clear from the 

rice. Drain well.

4. 

Add the washed rice to the removable 

cooking bowl, ensuring rice is spread 

evenly across the bottom of the bowl and 

not heaped to one side (Fig 2).

Fig. 2

5. 

Add water using the following ratios:  

White Rice = 1 scoop rice : 1 scoop water. 

Brown Rice = 1 scoop rice : 1

½

 scoops 

water.

6. 

Place the glass lid into position.

7. 

Press the RICE|STEAM button if not 

already selected, the button surround 

will illuminate white. Press the 

START|CANCEL button to activate 

the setting, the button surround 

will illuminate red and cooking will 

commence.

8. 

When cooking is complete, the ready 

beeps will sound and the rice cooker 

will automatically switch to the  

KEEP WARM setting for up to 5 hours. 

To stop the keep warm setting, switch 

off the power outlet and unplug the 

cord. 

9. 

Open the lid and turn the rice over with 

a non-metal spoon. Replace the lid and 

allow the rice to stand for 10–15 minutes 

before serving. This allows any excess 

moisture to be absorbed, resulting in a 

fluffier rice texture.

STEAMING

Foods may be steamed by placing food in the 

stainless steel steaming tray over stock or 

water and covering with the glass lid. 
Keep the glass lid on while steaming food 

unless the recipe or chart specifically states 

to remove the lid. By removing the lid 

unnecessarily steam is lost and the cooking 

time will be extended. 

1. 

Follow assembly instructions on page 6.

2. 

Measure 3 rice scoops or more of water or 

stock and pour into the removable cooking 

bowl. Use up to a maximum of 6 rice scoop 

cups of water. 

3. 

Place food to be steamed directly into 

the stainless steel steaming tray and 

insert into the removable cooking bowl. 

(Refer to the Steaming Charts on page 

22–24 for approximate cooking times).

4. 

Press the RICE|STEAM button if not 

already selected, the button surround 

will illuminate white. Press the 

START|CANCEL button to activate  

the setting, the button surround  

will illuminate red and cooking  

will commence.

5. 

When steaming is complete, the ready 

beeps will sound and the rice cooker  

will automatically switch to the  

KEEP WARM setting.

6. 

If no further steaming is required, press 

the START|CANCEL button to cease 

operation and turn the rice cooker off at 

the power outlet and then unplug power 

cord. Allow to cool before cleaning.

HINTS AND TIPS FOR  

STEAMING VEGETABLES

• 

Smaller pieces will steam faster than 

larger pieces.

• 

Try to keep vegetables to a standard size 

to ensure even cooking.

• 

Fresh or frozen vegetables may  

be steamed.

• 

If steaming frozen vegetables, do  

not thaw.

• 

The size and shape of vegetables, as 

well as personal taste, may call for 

adjustments to the cooking time. If 

softer vegetables are required, allow 

extra cooking time.

• 

Do not allow water or stock to reach the 

stainless steel tray. The steaming will 

not be effective.

WARNING

Always lift and remove the lid carefully, 

angling it away from yourself to avoid 

scalding from escaping steam.
