Frequently Asked Questions - CKCPRC6040 Crock-Pot

How to use the Crock-Pot CKCPRC6040 rice cooker?

Rinse the rice, place it in the pot with the indicated amount of water, close the lid, plug in the appliance and press the switch. Cooking starts automatically. When cooking is complete, the appliance switches to keep warm mode.

What is the maximum capacity of raw rice?

The maximum capacity is approximately 1.8 L, i.e. 1 kg of raw rice (10 cups of cooked rice). Do not exceed the internal mark in the pot.

How to clean the non-stick pot?

Let it cool down, remove the pot and wash it with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Use a non-abrasive sponge to avoid scratching the non-stick coating.

Why is my rice sticky or burned?

Check the water/rice ratio (usually 1:1.5 for white rice). Too much water makes sticky rice, too little burns it. Make sure the pot is clean and the temperature sensor works.

Does the appliance turn off automatically?

Yes, the cooker switches to keep warm mode once cooking is complete. It does not turn off completely; unplug it after use.

Can I cook other foods besides rice?

Yes, you can cook quinoa, lentils, steam vegetables (with a suitable basket) or even soups. Follow the cooking times and water amounts.

What is the power of the appliance?

The power is 600 W at 220-240 V, sufficient for quick and even cooking.

Is the lid removable?

Yes, the glass lid is removable for easy cleaning. Wash it by hand with a soft sponge.

Where can I find spare parts?

Contact Crock-Pot customer service or check authorized dealers. Parts like the pot and lid are available separately.

My cooker doesn't heat up anymore, what should I do?

Check the outlet, cord, and that the bowl is properly in place. If the indicator does not light up, contact customer service.

Your Multi-Use Rice Cooker includes a convenient and useful Sauté Function, which allows you to sauté/brown onions, garlic and/or other ingredients in oil prior to cooking.

You can choose to cook rice or other meals directly without the need to sauté, but this added feature gives you greater versatility in the preparation of your favorite recipes.

SAUTÉ FUNCTION

This function was designed to give you control when sautéing/browning and needs to be controlled manually as follows:

1. Remove lid and place food inside pot.
2. Connect power cord to an electrical outlet and press the Sauté On/Off Button "⏻" once to active function.
3. The Multi-Use Rice Cooker will heat up the Inner Pot and sauté the food inside.
4. This function requires close supervision and needs to be controlled manually. When browning is done, turn off this function by pressing the Sauté On/Off Button " 🔊" once.

IMPORTANT: Before cooking rice, you must manually turn off the Sauté function.

NOTE: Do not use a metal spoon to stir the food inside the inner pot since that might damage the non-stick coating, which could affect the unit performance in the long term.

AUTOMATIC COOK FUNCTION

If you would like to sauté/brown prior to cooking rice or other ingredients, please refer to the Sauté Function section. Once you are done browning your ingredients, follow the instructions below. You may also use the Automatic Cook Function without browning any ingredients by simply following these instructions.

1. Make sure appliance is unplugged.
2. Measure raw rice for desired amount with the Measuring Cup (5.41 oz/160 mL) provided.

3. One cup of the uncooked rice will make about two cups of cooked rice. Maximum of 7 cups (41 oz/1.2 L) uncooked rice for model CKCPRC6038-060. Maximum of 10 cups (61 oz/1.8 L) uncooked rice for model CKCPRC6039-060. Maximum of 12 cups (74 oz/2.2 L) uncooked rice for model CKCPRC6040-060. Add rice to Inner Pot.

4. By using the Measuring Cup, add proper amount of water to the rice inside the Inner Pot (for every cup [5.41 oz/160 mL] of raw rice, add 1-1/2 cups of water).

NOTE: You may need to adjust the quantity of water depending on the kind of rice you are cooking and how moist you prefer it. For sticker rice, add slightly more water. For fluffier rice, use slightly less water. If you are cooking brown rice, add more water. You may also need to adjust the water quantity by adding more water if you are using the rice cooker at a high altitude.

1. Set the Inner Pot into the Rice Cooker. Make sure that the Inner Pot sits directly in contact with the heating plate by turning it slightly from right to left until it is seated properly. Cover with Lid. WHEN USING THE AUTOMATIC COOK MODE DO NOT OPERATE UNIT UNCOVERED. STEAM IS GENERATED DURING USE. LID IS HOT, USE POTHOLDER.

2. Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet. Activate the Rice Cooker on by pushing down the On-Switch Cook Button down. Make sure the Cook Light (amber) is on.

IMPORTANT: If you use the sauté/brown function, you must manually turn off the sauté/brown function before cooking rice.

1. After 15 minutes mix the rice. Lift and remove the Lid carefully to avoid scalding and allow water to drip into the Inner Pot. Use the Paddle or another long handheld utensil to scoop and mix the rice. After mixing, cover the Inner Pot with the Lid.

2. When your rice is cooked, the Rice Cooker will automatically switch to the warm function and the Keep Warm Light (green) will turn on. The Rice Cooker will keep the rice warm until the unit is disconnected from the wall outlet.

3. The Rice Cooker will automatically keep rice warm at 60^irc C – 80^irc C ( 140^irc F – 175^irc F).
4. Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning. Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet to turn off Rice Cooker and when not in use.

NOTES: Wash the rice in a separate bowl, prior to cooking, if desired. For softer rice, we suggest preparing rice and water in the Inner Pot and letting soak for 10 – 20 minutes before cooking.

WHEN USING THE AUTOMATIC COOK MODE DO NOT OPERATE UNIT UNCOVERED. STEAM IS GENERATED DURING USE. LID IS HOT, USE POTHOLDER.

INSTRUCTIONS TO REHEAT RICE

To reheat cold rice, add 1/4 cup (59 mL) of cold water per cup of cooked rice, stir to mix, and then press On-Switch Cook Button to start cooking. When rice is warm, the Rice Cooker will automatically switch to the keep warm function.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CROCK-POT™ RICE COOKER
