6. Press the start/stop button ( ). The button will light up green and the display will show
“PreHeating”. Once the unit has pre heated, you can carry on cooking as before.
7. If the display doesn’t show “PreHeating”, switch off your multi-cooker and allow it to cool down for
longer before continuing from step 4 again.
Cooking Rice with your Multi-cooker
Your multi-cooker will cook brown and white rice beautifully. You don’t need to set the timer because
your multi-cooker will automatically switch off when the rice is cooked.
Cooking time will vary depending on the amount of water and rice added to the bowl but as an
example, 2 cups of washed basmati rice take about 10 minutes, (including preheating).
• Always rinse white/basmati uncooked rice in cold water prior to cooking. This removes the
starchy residue and produces fluffy rice. Place the rice into a suitable sieve and rinse well until
the water runs clear. Allow to drain for 5 minutes.
• When steaming rice, place the water into the cooking bowl first, then add the washed rice. Ensure
the rice is evenly spread around the base of the bowl before steaming.
• The preheating cycle of your multicooker is included in the cooking time, so place your rice in the
unit before preheating.
• When steaming smaller amounts of rice, there may be some slight spitting of water from the
steam vent in the lid. This is entirely normal, however we advise that you position your multi-
cooker away from any electrical sockets etc.
• You may notice that a sticky residue of cooked rice is left on the bowl after steaming your rice.
Most of this should be removable using a non-metallic spoon or spatula. The remainder can be
removed by soaking the bowl in hot soapy water for a few minutes.
• Cooking rice using your multi-cooker will only work when the correct ratio of rice and water is
used. Therefore, it is imperative that you measure out the rice and water using the rice measure
provided. Do not try to guess.
• Always use cold water.
• Always place the lid on your multi-cooker when steaming rice
• The rice does not need to be stirred during the steaming process.
• Once cooked your multi-cooker will automatically switch off. However, leaving the rice in the bowl
with the lid on for 1 or 2 minutes will allow the rice to soften further.
