Frequently Asked Questions - SC 24572 KALORIK

How to use the Kalorik SC 24572 rice cooker?

Rinse the rice, place it in the inner bowl, add water up to the corresponding mark (or use the measuring cup: 1 measure of rice to 1 measure of water). Close the lid, plug in the appliance and press the switch. The indicator light turns on. When the rice is cooked, the appliance automatically switches to keep warm mode.

What is the maximum rice capacity?

The bowl can cook up to 5 cups of uncooked rice (about 1 liter), yielding about 10 cups of cooked rice.

Can I cook something other than rice?

Yes, you can cook other grains like quinoa, barley, or even steam vegetables using a suitable steaming basket. Follow specific cooking instructions.

Why does the rice stick to the bottom?

Make sure to rinse the rice before cooking to remove excess starch. Use the correct water-to-rice ratio and do not lift the lid during cooking. Slight sticking may be normal; use the provided spatula.

How to clean the appliance?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Wash the inner bowl and lid with warm soapy water using a non-abrasive sponge. Wipe the body with a damp cloth. Never immerse the body in water.

Why doesn't the indicator light turn on?

How to adjust the cooking time?

The SC 24572 has no adjustable timer: cooking is automatic. Cooking time varies depending on the quantity and type of rice (approximately 20-30 minutes). Switching to warm mode indicates completion.

Is the inner bowl dishwasher safe?

It is recommended to wash the bowl by hand to preserve the non-stick coating. Dishwasher may damage it over time.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not hung over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

PART DESCRIPTION

1. Lid
2. Crock
3. Heating base

4. Pilot light

5. Temperature control knob with 4 positions (from Left to Right) : OFF, LOW; HIGH and KEEP WARM

OPERATION

• After having unpacked the appliance, clean the crock pot and the lid in soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
• When it is first switched on, the heating parts may smell and emit some smoke. This is normal; the grease that may have adhered to the element during manufacture is burning off. We therefore recommend for the first time that you heat up the appliance for about 10 minutes without any food (ventilate the room during this period) and shut the appliance down for it to cool.
  • Prepare your recipes directly in the crock.
• Put the lid on the crock.
  • Always make sure the temperature knob is in "0" position.
• Insert the plug in an earthed power socket, 120V, UL type.
• Select the desired temperature and let the preparation cook slowly.
• If you use an extension cord, compare its characteristics with the ones of the appliance (see rating plate) and check its compatibility.
• You can either serve the preparation in the crock or transfer it in another receptacle. When taking the crock out of the aluminum pan, use potholders or a cloth to grasp the handles, particularly if you are sensitive to heat.
  • Always let the appliance cool down before cleaning or storing it.

WARNING:

According to U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service, to avoid food-borne illnesses, foods such as meat, fish, and poultry should be thoroughly cooked before consuming them. Before consuming, determine the temperature of the foods using a food thermometer (not included). Refer to the USDA web site for information on food temperature rules.

TEMPERATURE SELECTOR

• According to the preparation you can select position LOW (Low cooking setting) or position HIGH (High cooking setting).
• The LOW heat setting gently simmers food for an extended period of time without overcooking or burning. No stirring is required when using this setting. Ideal for vegetable dishes and re-heating.
• Although the fast cooking setting accelerates the preparation, it remains slow compared to a classical cooking mode and your preparation may simmer gently to allow the ingredients to give off their flavor. The HIGH heat setting will cook food in half the time required for the LOW heat setting. As food will boil when cooked on the HIGH heat setting. It may be necessary to add extra liquid, depending on the recipe and the amount of time in which it is cooked. Occasional stirring of stews and casseroles will improve the flavor distribution. Food should be monitored when using the high setting, just like cooking in a pot with a lid on.
• You can also use the HIGH settings for the first couple of hours and then switch back to the LOW setting for the remainder of the cooking.
• Using the KEEP WARM position, the slow cooker will keep the food at serving temperature after cooking, at approx. 150°F. Do not use this setting to cook food.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

• In order to prolong the appliance's lifespan and to protect the crock, we advise you not to create thermal shocks during use. For example, never pour boiling liquid on cold ingredients or on the contrary, never put frozen food in a hot preparation.
• Never fill the crock to the brim as the preparation might flow over during the cooking process (leave up minimum 2 inches space to the rim)
• Do not use for more than 8 hours consecutively.
• Defrost any frozen content before cooking into the slow cooker.

COOKING WITH YOUR SLOW COOKER

Contrary to classical cooking modes, your appliance does not heat the food from below but only the sides of the appliance are heating and the heat is spread over the whole recipient. This way the food does not stick to the bottom of the receptacle and may thus cook for a long time.

All preparations that need slow cooking, i.e. to "simmer", can be made with the slow cooker, but other preparations may be adapted to this cooking mode.

As most food is cooked over period of 6-9 hours, it can be prepared in advance the evening before, refrigerated in the removable crockery pot, placed in the slow cooker and switched on in the morning and left to cook all day. When you arrive home a delicious, hot meal will await you.

The guide below will help simplify the process of slow cooker, allowing you to obtain ultimate satisfaction from your slow cooker.

It's all in the timing!

Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook. It is almost impossible to overcook in the slow cooker, particularly when using the LOW setting. Most recipes can be cooked on any one of the temperature settings, however the cooking times will vary accordingly.

Adapting cooking times

Your favorite traditional recipes can be adapted easily, by halving the amount of liquid and increasing the cooking time considerably. See the guide that follows for suggested cooking times and settings when adjusting your favorite recipes.

Traditional Recipe Time: Slow Cooker Recipe Time:

15-30 minutes 4-6 hours on LOW heat setting

60 minutes 6-8 hours on LOW heat setting

1-3 hours 8-12 hours on LOW heat setting

NOTE! These times are approximate. Times can vary depending on ingredients and quantities in recipes.

All food should be cooked with the glass lid well in place. Each time the lid is lifted, both the heat and moisture are decreasing. Cooking times should be adjusted by to accommodate this factor.

Liquid amounts

When food is cooking in your slow cooker, very little moisture boils away. To compensate this, it is advisable to halve the liquid content of traditional recipes.

However, if after cooking the liquid content is excessive remove the lid and operate the slow cooker on the High heat setting for 30-45 minutes or until the liquid reduces by the desirable amount.

Stirring the food

Little or no stirring is required when using the LOW or KEEP WARM setting. When using the HIGH heat setting stirring ensures even flavor distribution.

REFERENCE TEMPERATURES

Please use the following table as a reference for the temperature reached.

CLEANING AND CARE

• Always put in off position, unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool down before cleaning it.
• Remove the lid and take out the crock using their handles and clean them in hot, soapy water. You can also immerse them in water, but never use scouring pads to clean them. Rinse thoroughly.
• The crockery pot and glass lid can also be washed in the dishwater. However care should be taken not to chip or crack the crock-pot or lid.
• Wipe the inside of the aluminum pan and the body of the appliance with a damp sponge. Never immerse in water. Never put it in the dishwasher.
