ves). Only use it on a even, stable and a heat resisting surface. It is
important that no inflammable items are near to the device. Do
not place the device on the edge of the table so that it cannot be
touched by children or fall down when touched.
Danger of foam:
Never put egg, milk, cream or similar to the rice. Always, wash
the rice before cooking. Else there could be foam during cooking.
How much rice has to be used?
∙ Only use the supplied measuring cup.
∙ 1.5 measuring cup rice (200 gr) plus 2 measuring cups water yield for 500 gr cooked
rice.
∙ 1.0 measuring cup rice plus 1,5 measuring cups water yield for 2 cups cooked rice.
∙ Wash the raw rice under cold water before cooking and place in the inner pot.
∙ Never add larger quantities as 1.5 measuring cups rice, because the rice swells! Do
not add rice bags to the appliance, but only the loose rice.
∙ You can add spices such as chili, garlic etc. to the water. For wild and brown rice,
add in addition to the above mentioned amounts half a measuring cup of water
more.
Cooking rice:
∙ Place the inner pot into the appliance. It must be ensured that no rice corn sticks
to the heating plate or to the pot button, as this will have a negative effect on the
control. Turn the pot slightly to the left and the right that there is a sufficient con-
tact to the heating plate and the thermostat.
∙
Never put liquids or rice in the outer pot /housing.
∙ Then close the lid with the two clips.
∙ Press the main switch and then the thermal switch, the red lamp shines.
∙ After completion of the cooking time, the device turns to keeping warm, the yel-
low lamp shines.
∙ After the cooking time run out, stir well the rice so that excess water can evapo-
rate. Close the lid again. Some kinds of rice become soft and sticky. If the rice is too
firm, add more water the next time.
∙ In various types of rice, it may be a slight browning of the rice grains on the bottom
of the pot. This cannot be prevented by design. Possibly stir briefly during cooking.
∙ To avoid scratches in the inner pot, use the supplied plastic spoon for taking out
the cooked rice.
