Measuring cup

The measuring cup (CUP) in combination with the water level indicator in the rice pot helps determine the amount of water and rice. For example, if you wish to cook 6 CUPs of rice, add 6 measuring cups of rice to the pot and fill with water to the respective (CUP) mark, e.g. 6.

Cooking time

Once the water has fully evaporated in the rice pot, the appliance switches automatically to WARM, ending the cooking process.

Condensation tray

Condensation forming on the lid as a result of the rising steam is collected in a tray on the hinge. Please empty and clean this tray after every use. See also illustration e.
