INSTRUCTIONS

Before first use

• Carefully unpack the rice cooker and remove all the packaging material and promotional stickers.
• Wash the cooking vessel and lid in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
• Wipe the body of the cooker with moist cloth or sponge.

Attention:

• Never immerse the body of the cooker and the power cord in liquids.
• Cook in the removable vessel only to prevent risk of electric shock.

Rice cooking

1. Place the cooker on a dry, fl at surface.
2. Rinse the rice before cooking under running water to remove free starch. The rice is ready for cooking when the water runs clear.
3. Using the supplied measuring cup, measure out the desired amount of rice. Always measure the amount as even, do not overfi ll the measuring cup.
4. Before inserting the inner container in stainless steel body of the cooker, make sure that its outer surface is clean and dry. This ensures perfect contact of the inner and outer container.
5. Clean the bottom of the cooking vessel and the cooking area before cooking. Turn the vessel inside the cooker left and right to make sure it sits straight in the cooking area. The vessel has to sit properly in the cooker, otherwise the appliance will not work properly and might be damaged.
6. Make sure that the cooking vessel sits straight in the body of the cooker and put in the rinsed rice. Make sure that the rice is spread evenly over the bottom of the container and does not adhere to the walls, as shown.

Diagram showing three steps of cooking or heating: boiling pot, check inside pot with checkmark, and cross-shaped container.

Two identical cooking pots with blue checkmarks inside, one containing granular material and the other with a checkmark (no text or symbols)

1. Depending on the amount of rice fill up with water up to the appropriate fill line. There are marked lines in the container, indicating the level of water according to the amount of rice. Never fill over the maximum fill line marked on the container.

Measuring cups of raw rice Fill with water

2 cups Up to line 2–2 12

4 cups Up to line 4–4 12

6 measuring cups Up to line 6–6 12

When cooking a smaller amount than 2 cups of rice, fill with water according to the instruction on the rice package.

* 1 measuring cup = 180 ml of water or approx. 150 g of rice

1. Cover the vessel with glass lid.
2. Plug the power cord in the 230/240 V outlet and switch on. The orange light "Heating" comes on.
3. Start cooking by pushing the control lever down. The red light "Cooking" comes on.

NOTE: In any given time only one light is lit, orange for warming, red for cooking. Always stir the rice once, in the middle of the cooking time.

1. When the rice is cooked, the cooker automatically switches to "Heating" and the orange light comes on. The cooker is now in automatic, heat maintaining mode.

DO NOT LEAVE THE COOKER IN THE WARMING MODE LONGER THAN 3 HOURS

1. Remove the lid and stir the rice using the supplied serving spoon to keep the rice light and fluffy. Close the vessel again and let it stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Excess moisture is absorbed during this time and the rice is fl uff y.

ALWAYS RAISE THE LID AWAY FROM YOU SO THAT THE STEAM IS DIRECTED AWAY FROM YOU AND DOES NOT SCALD YOU

1. After use, switch the cooker off and unplug it.

• When plugging the cooker in, have always ready some water or be ready to add oil or butter quickly.
• Do not pour water in the body of the cooker, it may cause short circuit. You can put liquids only in the inner cooking container. Prevent rice or other foods from falling into the body of the cooker.
• When the lever switches automatically to the "Heating" position, do not try to return it to "Cooking" position.
  • Always use plastic or wooden utensils for the cooking vessel, otherwise you can scratch it.
• Alaways make sure that the container is properly inserted into the cooker and gently push it in, otherwise you can damage the product. This ensures good contact of the surface of the cooker and of the vessel and achieves the best performance.
• Do not use damaged or deformed vessel, it would not fit properly in the cooker.

Tips for cooking rice

• Rice is a valuable source of complex carbohydrates containing natural starch. We recommend that you rinse the rice using cold potable water until it runs clear. This prevents the browning of rice and its sticking to the bottom part of the vessel, however, it may also cause loss of some rice nutrients.
• When you add more water, the rice becomes fluffier, when you remove water the rice becomes tougher.
• Some types of rice need more water, for example wild rice, Arborio rice of short grain rice. Therefore always adjust the recipe as needed. Proceed according to the instructions on the package of rice.
• When cooking in a larger amount of water the inside of the lid may be splashed by water drops with starch. To achieve the best results, rinse the rice before cooking and let it stand for 20 minutes after finishing cooking to absorb the excess water.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

After each use

• After use, switch the cooker off and unplug it.
- Before dismantling and cleaning, let all the parts cool off.
- Wash the cooking vessel and lid in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
- We do not recommend washing parts of the cooker in the dishwasher, aggressive agents and hot water can cause stains and other damage to parts of the cooker.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or wire brushes and abrasive sponges, the non-stick surface could be damaged.
- Do not immerse the body of the cooker in water or any other liquids.
- You can wipe the stainless steel body of the cooker with wet cloth and then dry it off.
