Steaming Food; Cooking Soup And Preparing Pot Roasts - Inventum RK140ZW Mode D'emploi

1. Measure the desired amount of rice.
2. Rinse the rice until the water becomes reasonably clear and briefly drain it.
3. Place the rinsed rice in the inner pan.
4. Add the required quantity of water using the measuring cup. For each measuring cup of white rice, one measuring cup of water
must be added.
The quantity markers in the inner pan are purely indicative and apply only to white rice. The quantity markers indicate how much
water should be added to the inner pan depending on how many cups of rice have been added. For softer types of rice, we
advise soaking the rice for 10-20 minutes before cooking it.
5. Check that the outside of the inner pan is dry before placing it in the rice cooker. Ensure that the inner pan is properly in contact
with the heating element.
6. Close the lid properly: make sure that it clicks shut.
7. Put the plug into the socket and push the on/off switch downwards.
The COOK indicator light will switch on.
To prevent steam being lost – which results in a longer cooking time – we advise that you do not open the
lid while the rice is cooking unless necessary.
8. Once the rice is ready, the rice cooker will automatically switch to heat mode. The COOK indicator light will
go out and the HEAT indicator light will remain on.
Leave the rice for at least 10 minutes before opening the lid. The exact amount of time depends on the
amount of rice cooked. For further information, see the cooking and heating table in Chapter 8.
The rice cooker will keep the rice warm until you pull the plug out of the socket.
Do not leave the rice on heat mode for longer than 12 hours.
9. Open the lid of the rice cooker by pressing the lid release button. Caution: This may release hot steam. Use oven gloves if you
wish to take the inner pan out of the rice cooker, as it may be hot.
Switch off the rice cooker by pulling the plug out of the socket.
Attention: It is important that the outside of the inner pan is completely clean and dry before it is placed in the rice cooker. The
heating element can be damaged if water, food remnants or other dirt come into contact with it.

steaming food

1. To steam foods such as broccoli, add water to the inner pan. Make sure you add enough water to prevent the inner pan from
drying out during cooking.
2. Put the food you wish to steam in the steaming basket. Do not overfill the steaming basket. Doing so can extend the required
cooking time or prevent the food from cooking properly.
Smaller foodstuffs can be placed in a heat-resistant container and then placed in the steaming basket.
Larger foodstuffs should be cut into smaller pieces if possible.
3. Check that the outside of the inner pan is dry before placing it in the rice cooker. Ensure that the inner pan is properly in contact
with the heating element.
4. Close the lid properly: make sure that it clicks shut.
5. Put the plug into the socket and push the on/off switch downwards. The COOK indicator light will switch on.
To prevent steam being lost – which results in a longer cooking time – we advise that you do not open the lid while the rice is
cooking unless necessary. For an indication of the cooking times, see the steaming table in Chapter 8.
6. When the food has been steamed for the required length of time, the rice cooker will not automatically switch to heat mode if
there is still water in the inner pan.
Open the lid of the rice cooker by pressing the lid release button in order to check whether the food is ready. Caution: This may
release hot steam.
7. The rice cooker will continue to steam until the plug is removed from the socket or until the on/off switch is pushed upwards.
Switch off the rice cooker by pulling the plug out of the socket.
