For all uses
• Carefully wipe the outside of the bowl, especially the bottom.
• Place the bowl inside the appliance, making sure that it is properly in position –
Fig. 2 .
• Slightly turn the bowl in both directions so as to ensure a good contact between
the bottom of the bowl and the heating plate.
• Insert the cord into the back of the appliance and check it is firmly in position,
then plug in at the mains socket.
• Pour the right amount of ingredients and water into the bowl according to the
chosen recipe.
• The graduated markings on the inside of the bowl, given in litres and cups, are
for measuring the amount of water when cooking rice. If cooking other foods,
such as pasta, follow the liquid quantities in the recipes.
Preparing rice
• Pour the washed rice into the cooker. Add water up to the corresponding mark
(example: 4 cups of rice = water mark 4 - see table below).
• To cook 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large portion), use 1 measuring
cup of white rice and then add 1 1/2 measuring cups of water. It is normal for
a little rice to stick on the base when cooking small quantities.
• The rice cooker automatically determines the exact cooking time depending on
the quantity of water and rice placed in the bowl.
Note: Always add the rice first otherwise you will have too much water.
• Wash the rice before cooking, except for Risotto rice.
A few tips for better results when cooking rice
• Measure the rice and wash it separately under running water, except for Risotto
rice. Place the rice in the bowl with the right quantity of water.
• Make sure that the rice is spread over the whole surface of the bowl to ensure
even cooking.
• At the end of cooking time, when the “keep warm” function comes into
operation, stir the rice and leave it in the Automatic Rice Cooker for a few
minutes to obtain perfect results.
Do not exceed the
maximum indicated
amounts on the bowl.
Check that there is no
foreign matter under the
bowl or on the heating
plate.
