Assembly

Assemble as shown A.

•Be sure to keep the space between the pot and the heating plate clean and free of water drops, dust, rice grains or any other foreign matter. If not, the cooker’s performance will be affected and the element could possibly burn out.

•Do not slant the pot, otherwise it’s bottom will not be in full contact with the heating plate and the element may burn out.

•Do not switch the power on until ready to cook.

Cooking rice

1Use the measuring beaker provided to measure the rice, filling level to the top. As a guide, one cup of rice is sufficient for one person, but this will vary according to individual taste.

2Thoroughly wash the rice in several changes of water and drain. Failure to do so may cause poor results and/or a build-up of steam within the cooker. Do not wash the rice in the inner bowl as it may be damaged.

3Transfer the rice to the inner bowl and level the surface. The markings on the inside of the bowl are for measuring the amount of water and are given in litres and cups. Add cold water to the corresponding level marked on the inside of the bowl. For example, to cook 6 cups of rice, place the washed rice into the inner bowl and then fill with water up to the six cup level.

•Minimum capacity is 4 cups, maximum is 10 cups.

•Never fill with water straight from the tap, use the measuring beaker.

IMPORTANT: Do not fill above the top level indicated.

4Place the inner bowl in the cooker, ensuring that there is no rice or any moisture on the outside of the bowl.

5Cover with the lid, ensuring that the vent hole in the lid is situated away from you.

6Plug the cooker into the power supply. The amber pilot will light up.

7Press down the switch and the cooker will start. The blue light will come on and the amber light will go off.

Note: During cooking, it is normal for the lid to rise up slightly and water to bubble around the edge.

8The cooker knows when the food is done by measuring temperature and weight. When the food is done, the main heater will turn off automatically and the cooker

will switch into ‘keep warm’. The blue light will go out and the amber light will go on to indicate keep warm.
