hints
• Cooking times are approximate and
are affected by size and temperature
of food and the degree of cooking
desired. Water amounts may
adjusted.
• If the steaming stops before the food
is sufficiently cooked, add cold water
to the inner bowl, replace food and
cover. Restart the cooking until food
is adequately cooked.
• Accumulated steam allows foods to
continue cooking even after the
appliance has switched off. Remove
food prompty to avoid over-cooking.
• Small items cooking faster than larger
ones. Food of uniform size will cook
more evenly.
• Altitude affects the temperature at
which water boils and thus the
cooking time. At high altitude longer
cooking times are needed.
important
• Small quantities of rice (4 or less cups)
should be consumed immediately
after stirring.
• Do not keep rice warm for longer than
two hours.
• Do not interfere with the automatic
switch mechanism by preventing it
from switching to the warm cycle. Do
not immediately depress the switch
to cook once it has begun the warm
cycle.
• Ensure that the area between the rice
cooker and inner bowl is always clean
and free from any rice particles etc.
This is important to ensure proper
contact between the two.
• Always use heat resistant gloves to
remove the inner bowl from the
appliance.
• The rice must be thoroughly washed
before using.
• During cooking, certain varieties of
rice may cause a build up of steam
within the appliance resulting in some
spitting from under the lid. If this
happens carefully lift the lid to allow
excess steam to escape and then
replace.
• On removing the rice from the inner
bowl, a small amount of golden
coloured rice may be noted on the
base of the bowl. this is normal, allow
the bowl to cool, fill with warm soapy
water and allow to soak which will
loosen the rice and make cleaning
easier.
• Do not reheat cooked rice in the rice
cooker.
• Do not lift the lid during the keep
warm period.
• If ingredients are to be added to
cooked rice, they must be thoroughly
cooked as appropriate, and the rice
should be consumed immediately.
• We do not recommend the use of
the rice cooker for cooking packet
type savoury rice.
• The use of sharp implements inside
the bowl may damage the non-stick
coating.
cleaning
Disconnect the appliance from the power
supply. Wipe the outside of the appliance
with a damp cloth then polish with a dry
one.
Wash the inner bowl and lid in hot soapy
water. A soft bristled brush may be used
to remove any rice stuck to the bowl.
Dry the bowl thoroughly. Some staining
of the inner bowl may occur with use.
