Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level
surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug
the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-
Cooker will beep, and the Display Screen will
illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
• Measure the desired quantity of rice.
• Place the measured rice in a strainer
and wash rice thoroughly under cold
water. Wash until the water runs clear.
This removes excess starch which helps
to achieve fluffier rice, and prevents rice
grains sticking to the Cooking Pot. Rinsing
the rice reduces the build-up of starchy
water and bubbles that sometimes form
around the Valve Cover and Lid, which can
cause spitting from the Steam Release
Valve.
• Ensure the Cooking Pot is clean and dry
before placing it inside the Heating Base.
• Place the washed rice in the Cooking Pot.
Add the quantity of water needed for your
recipe (Standard ratio -- 1 cup of uncooked
rice : 1.5 cups of water). Ensure that a
minimum of 250ml of liquid is placed
inside the removable Cooking Pot.
• Place the Lid on and lock by rotating
counterclockwise to the LOCKED
position.
• Using the finger tab, flick the Steam
Release Valve to the “Seal” position.
• Press the RICE/RISOTTO button and adjust
the time and pressure as needed.
• Once you have made the desired
adjustments, if any, press START/STOP.
• The Multi-Cooker needs to gain pressure
before pressure cooking can begin. When
the Multi-Cooker is gaining pressure,
“HEAt” will appear on the Display Screen
and the time will not count down. When
pressure has been reached, “HEAt” will
disappear on the Display Screen, and the
time will begin to count down.
• After the set cooking time has elapsed,
the Multi-Cooker will beep and will
automatically switch to the KEEP WARM
setting. The Display Screen will therefore
change from the cook time to a new timer
that will count up to 4:00 (4 hours) or until
you press the START/STOP button. After
4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the
Multi-Cooker will turn off.
Using the RICE/RISOTTO Function
Note:
See the Cooking Guide on page 13
to find the possible time and pressure
adjustments.
Note:
1 cup uncooked white rice = 2 cups
of cooked white rice (approximately). 1 cup
uncooked brown rice = 2 cups cooked brown
rice (approximately).
Caution:
During cooking, steam will build
up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the
Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect
your hand.
Note:
Do not keep rice in the pot for
extended periods of time on the KEEP
WARM setting, as the rice will become dry
and the quality will deteriorate. Use the
supplied plastic spoon to stir and serve the
rice. Do not use metal utensils, as these will
scratch the non-stick coating.
Note:
As rice grains can be delicate, at
the end of cooking wait until the pressure
releases naturally. Do not use the Quick
Pressure Release Method (see page 11
for instructions on the Natural Pressure
Release Method).
Note:
Standard ratio for cooking rice -- 1
cup of uncooked rice : 1.5 cups of water.
