COOKING RICE AND STEAMING FOOD AT THE SAME TIME
One useful function of this rice cooker is that you can cook rice and steam food simultaneously. This is ideal for making one-pot
meals.
1. Put the desired quantity of rice and the required amount of water into the inner pan. For detailed instructions on how to
do this, read Chapter: Cooking Rice.
Do not add more than 6 measuring cups of (uncooked) white rice or 4 measuring cups of (uncooked) brown rice if you
also wish to steam food in the steaming basket. The steaming basket will not fit into the rice cooker if you put too much
rice in the inner pan.
2. 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.
3. Place the lid on the pan.
It is better to add the steaming basket containing the food later on. This helps ensure all of the food is ready at the same
time.
4. Put the vegetables or meat you wish to steam in the steaming basket. Remove the lid of the rice cooker. Caution: This may
release hot steam. Place the steaming basket in the rice cooker.
5. Remove the lid from the pan. The rice cooker will resume cooking.
6. Open the lid when the food has been cooked for the desired time. Caution: This may release hot steam. Use oven gloves
to remove the steaming basket and check that the food is properly cooked.
7. Place the lid on the pan and allow the rice cooker to resume cooking the rice.
8. When the rice is ready, the rice cooker will automatically switch to heat mode: the HEAT indicator light will stay on and
the COOK indicator light will go out. The rice cooker will keep the rice warm until you pull the plug out of the socket.
9. Switch off the rice cooker by removing the plug from the socket or by switching off the ON/OFF button at the rear of
the appliance.
Before cleaning, always remove the plug from the socket and let the rice cooker cool down.
1. Remove the inner pan and wash it with hot water and mild washing-up liquid. Use a soft sponge or cloth.
2. Rinse off the inner pan and dry it properly.
3. Do the same with the steaming basket and the other accessories.
4. Once you remove the steam valve from the lid, the lid can be carefully removed. Once you have done so, clean it
thoroughly with a sponge or cloth.
5. Ensure that all of the accessories are properly dry before putting them back into the rice cooker.
6. Clean the outside of the rice cooker with a damp cloth.
• Never use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents! This can damage the inner pan's non-stick layer.
• The device itself can not be placed in a dishwasher. However, a dishwasher can be used to clean the inner pan and the
accessories.
• 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.
