Before the First Use

Carefully remove the rice cooker from the packaging. Remove all possibly remaining protective foils and clean any packaging-dust remnants from all components that will come into contact with foodstuffs. Clean the appliance as described in the chapter "Cleaning and Care".

Using the Rice Cooker

With this appliance, it is possible to cook rice as well as to steam other foods at the same time. Experiment with finding the right quantity of water and the right cooking time for the various combinations.

Cooking Rice

① Notice

Coat the inside of the cooking bowl ⑦ evenly with a little grease or vegetable oil to achieve a better cooking result.

1. Press the unlocking button 10 and open the lid 1.
2. Take out the cooking bowl 1
3. Measure the desired quantity of rice using the supplied measuring cup.

As a general rule: A level measuring cup - filled with rice - yields a portion for one person. Determine the right quantity of rice and water for you in a few cooking attempts.

1. Thoroughly wash and sieve the rice. If you do not wash the rice, this could lead to poor cooking results and increased foam and steam formation in the cooking bowl ①.
2. After washing it, pour the rice into the cooking bowl 7 and smooth it out.

① Notice

Place at least 2 measuring beakers of rice into the rice cooker! A lesser volume of rice could cause inferior cooking results!

1. Then add water as per the following cup markings:

2. 2 Measuring beakers of rice = Water up to cup marking "2"

3. 4 Measuring beakers of rice = Water up to cup marking "4"
4. 6 Measuring beakers of rice = Water up to cup marking "6"
5. 8 Measuring beakers of rice = Water up to cup marking "8"
6. 10 Measuring beakers of rice = Water up to cup marking "10" Subject to taste preferences, salt can also be added to the rice.

① Notice

Subject to the type/sort of rice being prepared, it could be that you may have to insert a little more or less water to achieve an optimal cooking result.
Vary the amount of water in accordance with your individual experiences and personal preference.

1. When the cooking bowl ⑦ is full, place it back in the rice cooker housing.
2. Turn the bowl left and right to make certain that it is well seated on the heating plate. To avoid dirtying the cooking area, ensure that there is no moisture or rice located on the outside of the cooking bowl ⑦. If necessary, wipe the outside with a clean cloth.
3. Close the lid 1, ensuring that it engages.
4. Insert the power cable into the socket 6 on the rear of the appliance.

11.Insert the power plug into a properly installed power socket. The yellow control lamp glows.
12. Press the function selector switch 5 down. The yellow control lamp 0 3 extinguishes and the red control lamp 0 4 starts to glow. The cooking process begins.

① Notice

If the cooking bowl 7 is not correctly positioned, the function selector switch 5 cannot be moved to the setting "Cooking".

As soon as the rice is cooked, the rice cooker switches itself automatically back to the keep-warm setting. The red control lamp 4 extinguishes and the yellow control lamp 3 starts to glow.

Allow the rice to stand for at least 15 minutes in the cooking bowl ±b - with the lid on ±b on.

13.Remove the lid 1 and stir the rice with the supplied plastic spoon to loosen it up. The rice is now ready to eat.

Important

Use only the supplied plastic spoon for stirring or serving the rice. Other spoons may cause damage to the anti-stick coating.

If the rice needs to be kept warm for an extended period, wait until shortly before eating before stirring the rice. Do not remove the lid ① while the rice is being kept warm and do not leave the rice in the appliance for longer than 2 hours.

Important

When the cooking and keep-warm processes are complete, empty the catchment container for condensed water 2. Take care when doing this: the water is hot! Risk of scalding!

Important

Always pull the power plug out of the power socket when no longer using the rice cooker. There is a danger of electric shock!

Steaming

IMPORTANT:

Do not lift the steaming attachment up during the steaming process - the escaping steam brings with it the real risk of scalding. The steaming attachment

becomes hot during the steaming process. When taking hold of the steaming attachment, use oven cloths or something similar to lift it from the cooking bowl.

1. Pour the desired quantity of water into the cooking bowl ⑦. The steaming time is dictated by the volume of water poured in. Take note of the examples given in the following table.

1 filled measuring cup is sufficient for about 15 minutes of steaming.
- 2 filled measuring cups are sufficient for about 30 minutes of steaming, etc.

Fish / seafood	Steaming time in minutes	Weight / quantity
Mussels (cook until they are opened)	approx. 10 min	approx. 450 g
Prawns (cook until a pink colour)	approx. 12 min	approx. 350 g
Fish (Fillet)	approx. 15 min	approx. 350 g
Steak	approx. 20 min	approx. 450 g
