Introduction
This rice cooker provides a simple, trouble-free method for cooking perfectly rice. The
Warm-function automatically keeps the rice warm, fluffy and ready to serve for several hours.
Before first use
Wash the bowl, the lid the measuring cup and spatula in the warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. Wipe the base with a clean, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasive cleaners on any part of the appliance. Never immerse the base in water
or any other liquid.
How to cook the rice
Before each use, make sure that the outside of the rice bowl is clean and dry and that the heat
sensor in the centre, on the inside of the base, is clean, dry and cool. Handle the rice bowl
carefully; scratching or denting the bowl may result in unsatisfactorily performance.
Note: There are different opinions about whether the rice should be washed before cooking or
not. Those in favour argue that this washes away the starch content and ensures non-sticky
grains. Those against, feel valuable soluble vitamins and minerals are lost. Drier, fluffier rice is
obtained by washing before cooking.
• Measure rice and water and place evenly into the rice bowl. (See Rice cooking chart)
Never put any liquid into the base.
• Place the rice bowl into the base and make sure that the bowl is properly sat unto the base.
Close by placing the lid.
• Plug cord into a 220-240V AC outlet. Depress the switch and the red light will glow. Cook
switch will not stay down unless the rice bowl is placed in the right way: this is a safety
feature of this rice cooker.
• Wait 20 minutes for the rice to finish cooking. Fluff the rice with the spatula.
• Unplug the rice cooker before removing the lid and rice bowl from the base.
• If the rice is to be kept warm, leave the rice cooker plugged-in and reposition the lid after
fluffing.
• If using unwashed rice, a thin layer of starch may form at the bottom of the rice bowl: this is
quite normal and can be mixed in with the rice when fluffing as it does not affect the taste
or texture.
