BEFORE FIRST USE

• Remove all packaging materials, including promotional tags and labels, from the appliance and its accessories.
• Assemble the lid as shown in figure B. Properly screw in the self-tapping screw from the underside of the lid A3 and tighten it using a cross-head screwdriver to secure the handle A1 against movement.

Attention:

The lid handle A1 must be attached to the lid A3 pointing towards the side opposite the steam exhaust outlet A2.

• Thoroughly wash the lid, the removable inner bowl A4, measuring cup A11, spoon A12 and steamer insert A13 in warm water with liquid kitchen detergent for hand washing. Then thoroughly rinse these parts with clean water and dry with a wiping cloth.
• Never submerge the rice cooker unit A6, the power cord or the power plug in water or any other liquid.
• No part of this appliance is intended for washing in a dishwasher.

OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

• Place the appliance on a kitchen countertop or another even, clean, dry, stable and heat resistant surface. Make sure that all safety instructions are followed.
• Take the removable inner bowl A4 out of the rice cooker unit A6 and put it aside on a clean, dry and stable surface. Measure the required amount of rice using the supplied measuring cup A11. One measuring cup of loose uncooked rice corresponds to approximately 3 cups of cooked rice.

Attention:

In a single batch, it is possible to cook a maximum of 10 level measuring cups of rice. Do not cook less that 2 level measuring cups of rice.

- Transfer the rice to a larger strainer and thoroughly rinse through using clean running water. Allow the rinsed rice to drip and transfer it into the removable inner bowl A4. Spread the rice evenly over the entire bottom of the removable inner bowl A4. Make sure that the rice is not heaped on one side, etc. Add the corresponding amount of cold drinking water according to the following table.

Number of level measuring cups of uncooked rice	Amount of water
10 measuring cups	Add water up to the 10–10 12 CUP mark on the removable inner bowl A4.
8 measuring cups	Add water up to the 8–8 12 CUP mark on the removable inner bowl A4.
6 measuring cups	Add water up to the 6–6 12 CUP mark on the removable inner bowl A4.
4 measuring cups	Add water up to the 4–4 12 CUP mark on the removable inner bowl A4.
2 measuring cups	Add water up to the 2–2 12 CUP mark on the removable inner bowl A4.

Note:

Depending on the type of rice, it may be necessary to adjust the water-to-rice ratio.

The measuring cup A11 has marks 14 (45 ml), 12 (90 ml) and 34 (135 ml). A single level measuring cup is equivalent to approximately 140 g of loose uncooked rice or 180 ml of water.

Warning:

Never fill the inner bowl A4 above the 1.8L mark on the inner side of the removable inner bowl A4. Overfilling, creates a risk of water splashing out.

• Make sure that the outer surface of the inner bowl A4 and the inside area of the rice cooker unit A6 is clean. This will ensure proper contact between the inner bowl A4 and the surface of the heating element in the rice cooker unit. Insert the removable inner bowl A4 into the rice cooker unit A6. To prevent damaging the appliance, ensure that the inner bowl A4 is properly seated in the rice cooker unit A6. To properly seat the inner bowl A4 in the rice cooker unit A6, carefully rotate the inner bowl A4 to the left and right. Cover the removable inner bowl A4 with the lid.
• Connect the power cord plug to a power socket. Set switch A9 to position I (On).
• After setting switch A9 to position I (On), the KEEP WARM mode will be automatically set. This is indicated by the indicator A10 being lit. To start the COOK mode (cook rice), set the control lever A8 to the bottom position. The COOK mode indicator A7 will be lit and the rice cooking process will start.

Attention:

The COOK mode cannot be set unless the removable inner bowl A4 is properly seated or seated at all in the rice cooker unit A6.

- Do not handle the control lever A8 during the cooking process.

- Once the rice is cooked, the appliance will automatically switch to the KEEP WARM mode. This is indicated by the indicator A10 being lit. The KEEP WARM mode enables the rice to be kept warm.

Attention:

Do not attempt to hold down the control lever A8 in the bottom COOK position by force after the appliance automatically switches to the KEEP WARM mode. The COOK mode cannot be restarted immediately after the appliance automatically switches from the COOK mode to the KEEP WARM mode.

• After the rice cooker automatically switches to the KEEP WARM mode, keep the lid closed for approximately another 8–10 minutes for the rice to finish. If you allow the rice to finish after cooking, it will be tastier.
• Unless it is unconditionally necessary for safety reasons or for other reasons, do not turn off the appliance or pull the power plug out of the power socket until the COOK mode has finished, otherwise the rice will be ruined.

Note:

Do not use the KEEP WARM function to heat up rice that was cooked previously.

- Once the rice is ready to be served, lift up and remove the lid. Lift the lid carefully so that the escaping steam flows away from you. First lightly stir the rice using the spoon A12 and then it is ready to be served.

Attention:

To prevent damaging the non-stick surface, never use metal or sharp kitchen utensils in the inner bowl A4. Use the spoon A12 or a wooden or heat resistant plastic kitchen utensils.

• When not serving all the rice at once, return the lid to its place to prevent drying out the remaining rice. Do not leave the spoon A12 or any other kitchen utensils inside the inner bowl A4.
• To maintain flavour, we recommend that you do not keep the rice warm for longer than 3 hours. Otherwise it may dry out.
• After you have finished using the appliance, always turn it off by setting the switch A9 to position 0 (Off) and disconnect the power cord plug from the power socket.
• After the appliance has cooled down, clean it according to the instructions in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.

STEAM COOKING

• Steam cooking is a gentle food preparation method during which foods retain the majority of their nutritional values. To cook food in steam, proceed as follows.
• Remove the removable inner bowl A4 from the rice cooker unit A6. Measure out approximately 1.0L of clean water and pour it into the removable inner bowl A4. Make sure that the water level in the removable inner bowl A4 is lower than the steamer insert A13 when inserted in the inner bowl A4.
• Place vegetables, or other foods suitable for cooking in steam, into the steamer insert A13. Do not put excessively large pieces or amounts of food inside. Place the steamer insert A13 into the removable inner bowl A4.
• Make sure that the outer surface of the inner bowl A4 and the inside area of the rice cooker unit A6 is clean. This will ensure proper contact between the inner bowl A4 and the surface of the heating element in the rice cooker unit.
• Place the inner bowl A4 with the steamer insert A13 into the rice cooker unit A6. To prevent damaging the appliance, ensure that the inner bowl A4 is properly seated in the rice cooker unit A6. To properly seat the inner bowl A4 in the rice cooker unit A6, carefully rotate the inner bowl A4 to the left and right. Cover the inner bowl A4 with the lid.
• Then proceed in the same way as when cooking rice. Regularly check the condition of the food and water. Make sure that all the water does not boil away.
• Once the food is cooked, set the control lever A8 to the KEEP WARM position and turn off the appliance by setting switch A9 to position 0 (Off) and disconnect it from the power socket.
• In order to remove the food, lift and remove the lid. Lift and remove the lid carefully away from yourself to avoid scalding by the escaping steam. To remove the food, you may use the supplied spoon A12. When handling hot foods, pay extra attention to prevent scalding.
  ■ After the appliance has cooled down, clean it according to the instructions in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
