POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other): To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer detachable power-supply or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

PREPARING FOOD

Your new FARBERWARE® NutriSteam™ Rice Cooker/Food Steamer is a very versatile and can do much more than steam vegetables and cook rice. Of course, it steams fresh and frozen vegetables perfectly and cooks long-grain white rice and brown rice just right. But it also cooks legumes and grains for vegetarian main dishes, makes rich and hearty soups and cooks up meat, poultry, fish and seafood into delicious dishes.

Choose from many tasty, easy-to-prepare healthful main-dish recipes created especially for use with the FARBERWARE®

NutriSteam™ Rice Cooker/Food Steamer. Use these recipes as a guide to adapt your own favorite recipes calling for similar ingredients and to follow when using this multi-purpose appliance.

Once cooked, foods can be kept on the WARM mode without changing their taste or texture.

TYPES OF COOKING

Choose among several methods of cooking with your FARBERWARE® NutriSteam™ Rice Cooker/Food Steamer.

• Steaming - Food is cooked in the Steamer Insert above a boiling liquid like water or broth for a prescribed amount of time.
• Boiling/Simmering - Food is cooked in water or broth for a prescribed amount of time at either a high or low heat setting.
• Sautéing - Food is cooked quickly in oil, melted butter or margarine and stirred occasionally until browned.
• Braising - Food is lightly browned as in sautéing, and then a liquid is added and Cover is used.

STEAMING FOOD

GENERAL INFORMATION

Keep the Cover on while cooking or steaming food, unless the recipe or chart specially calls for removing it. By removing the Cover unnecessarily, you lose steam and valuable time. If you must remove it to stir or to add an ingredient, have the Rice Paddle or ingredient ready, add it, stir quickly and just as quickly recover the Pot.

STEAMING INSTRUCTIONS

Measure appropriate amount of water or broth into the Inner Pot. Place food to be steamed directly into the Steamer Insert and place it in the Inner Pot. Some recipes, especially those for cooking fish or other fragile items, call for lining the Steamer Insert with lettuce or spinach leaves. This method of cooking also helps keep food from sticking to the Steamer Insert. Cover; then plug Cord first into the FARBERWARE® NutriSteam™ Rice Cooker/Food Steamer and then into the electrical outlet.

Push Lever down to begin COOK mode.

Since the times in the following vegetable steaming charts are approximate, use them as a guide only. The size and shape of vegetables as well as personal taste may call for adjustments. If you want softer vegetables, add more water. Do not allow Pot to boil dry.

COOKING RICE

GENERAL INFORMATION

Rice is grown on marshy land that floods easily. It does not need to be milled or ground; only the outer husks must be removed, leaving behind what is known as brown or whole rice, the most nutritious of rices.

Information has recently been published about more healthful ways to eat, by consuming less fat, less protein and more complex carbohydrates in our diets. Because brown rice is about 8% protein, 87% carbohydrates and almost no fat, it is a perfect ingredient in a healthful diet.

Because rice is a valuable source of carbohydrates, it is starchy by nature. To obtain fluffier, less starchy rice, you can rinse the rice before cooking. But by rinsing or soaking the rice, you lose some of the vitamins, which are water soluble. Therefore, rinsing or soaking rice is not recommended because of the nutrient loss.

TYPES OF RICE

Brown Rice - Contains more vitamin B complex, iron and calcium and takes longer to cook (about 50 minutes) than white rice. Its flavor is nutty and its texture is chewy. (See cooking chart on page 8.)

White Rice - Includes several kinds of white rice, most of which can be prepared in your FARBERWARE® NutriSteam™ Rice Cooker/Food Steamer. (See cooking chart on page 8.)

Long-Grain Rice - Less starchy than short-grain rice, so it separates into individual grains more than short-grain rice.

Short-Grain Rice - More moist and tender than long-grain rice. It has a softer texture and starchier flavor.

White rice will take about 20-25 minutes to cook, (brown rice approximately 50 minutes). When rice is done, the FARBERWARE® NutriSteam™ Rice Cooker/Food Steamer will automatically go into the WARM mode and the AMBER ON/WARM Light will go on. Allow rice to stand on WARM for 10 to 15 minutes to ensure fluffy rice. You can keep cooked rice on the WARM setting for several hours without the taste of the rice being affected. Do not remove Cover until ready to serve. The Inner Pot remains very hot after cooking or keeping warm. Use a pot holder when handling.

LONG GRAIN BROWN RICE COOKING CHART

Allow about 50 minutes to cook brown rice. The FARBERWARE® NutriSteam™ Rice Cooker/Food Steamer automatically switches from COOK mode (RED Light) to WARM mode (AMBER Light) when all the liquid evaporates from the Inner Pot. However, for fluffy rice, allow rice to stand for approximately 10 minutes, covered, on WARM before serving.

Note: Always place rice in Inner Pot before adding water.

Amount of Raw Rice	Water Level	Approx. Number of 1/2 cup servings
2 FARBERWARE® Cups	to 4-cup line	8
3 FARBERWARE® Cups	to 5-cup line	12

The FARBERWARE® NutriSteam™ Rice Cooker/Food Steamer automatically switches from COOK mode (RED Light) to WARM mode (AMBER Light) when all the liquid evaporates from the Inner Pot.

COOKING LEGUMES AND GRAINS

GENERAL INFORMATION

USER MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

This appliance contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Refer it to the place of purchase or the nearest FARBERWARE® authorized service facility, or contact our consumer service department.

Always remember to unplug the unit from the wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance should be cleaned after every use. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet. NEVER immerse Main Housing or Cord in water. Allow the unit to cool before cleaning.

Cleaning the Inner Pot after cooking is easy because of its non-stick finish. Let it cool and wash with a soft cloth or sponge in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. Avoid using hot water to clean or rinse the Inner Pot. The Steamer Insert, Cover, Measuring Cup and Rice Paddle may also be washed in warm, soapy water.

The Main Housing can be wiped clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth or sponge. Never pour liquid into the Main Housing or immerse it in water.

• Be careful not to dent the Inner Pot, especially the bottom of it. To work properly and produce the best cooking results, the Inner Pot must fit snugly on top of the thermostat.
• Don't let loose rice or other food particles fall into the bottom of the Main Housing because they might prevent the thermostat from fitting tightly against the bottom of the Inner Pot.
• Use the plastic Rice Paddle or a wooden spoon to stir and remove food from the Inner Pot. Don't use any metal utensils that might scratch the non-stick finish.
• Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads because they can damage the finish of both the Inner Pot and Main Housing.

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and clean all parts. Be sure all parts are dry before storing. Store appliance in its box or in a clean, dry place. Never store it while it is hot, wet or still plugged in. Never wrap Cord around the appliance; however, Cord may be disconnected from the unit before storing.

If storing Steamer Insert, Cord, Measuring Cup and/or Rice Paddle inside the Inner Pot, wrap them first in a soft cloth to avoid scratching the Inner Pot's non-stick surface. To avoid damage to the Inner Pot or Cover, wrap a soft cloth around the Cover and store it upside down over the Inner Pot.
