Operation
Cooking rice
∙ Open the lid of the rice cooker by holding
down the lid release, and pulling the lid up
by its handle.
∙ Place the rice pan inside the appliance.
∙ Put the desired quantity of rice into the
rice pan (see Rice pan with CUP and
L-scales).
∙ Add water to the rice until the appropriate
mark on the Cup or L-scale inside the
pan is reached.
∙ Add salt as desired.
∙ Close the lid.
∙ Connect the power cord to the rice cooker
fi rst, and then insert the plug into the wall
socket.
∙ Turn the On/Off switch on the left side on
the appliance on.
∙ Push the selector switch down.
∙ The cooking process begins as indicated
by the red cooking indicator light.
∙ Once the water has completely
evaporated during the cooking process,
the unit automatically switches to the
keep-warm function. The red cooking
indicator light goes out and is replaced by
the yellow keep-warm indicator light.
∙ The rice should then be left to stand for
further 5 minutes before being removed
from the pan.
∙ Switch off the appliance and remove the
plug from the wall socket.
∙ Use the lid release to open the lid.
∙ Danger of scalding. Beware of
escaping steam.
Useful hints on cooking rice
∙ Always check the packaging for
information on whether the rice needs to
be washed before cooking.
∙ Should you prefer softer rice, check the
packaging for specifi c information about
steamed rice, or pre-soak the rice in water
for approximately 15 minutes before
cooking.
∙ This rice cooker is not suitable for
preparing rice pudding or creamed rice,
as the milk will burn.
Steaming
Meat, potatoes and vegetables can be
steamed using the steaming tray.
∙ Put 3 cups (Cup) of water into the rice
pan. This amount of water is suffi cient to
steam for 30 minutes.
∙ Put the prepared food into the steaming
tray and place it into the rice pan.
∙ Close the lid.
∙ Connect the power cord to the rice cooker
fi rst before inserting the plug into the wall
socket.
∙ Turn the On/Off switch on the left side on
the appliance on.
∙ Push the selector switch down.
∙ The cooking process begins.
∙ The steaming time largely depends on
the type of food used. While caulifl ower
and carrots require a steaming time of
approx. 15 minutes, zucchini only need
10 minutes.
∙ In order to prevent the steam from
escaping during the steaming process,
the lid should be kept closed.
∙ Once the desired steaming time has
elapsed, switch the appliance off and
