4.1. Setting up the appliance
WARNING!
There is a risk of fire.
Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, dry and level surface.
- Do not place the appliance on surfaces that can become hot (e.g. on hotplates, open flames).
- Ensure that the appliance does not come into contact with any other objects during operation. Maintain a distance of at least 10cm to other objects. Especially, do not set up the appliance near easily flammable materials (curtains, drapes, paper, etc.).
During operation, do not place the appliance under wall cupboards or other objects that could hinder the free upwards flow of steam.
Do not cover the appliance.
Do not place any objects on the appliance.
Ensure that there are no foreign bodies between the hotplate and the pot insert.
4.2. Connecting the rice cooker
- Connect the rice cooker only to a properly installed and earthed power socket with a voltage of 230V 50Hz that has at least a 16 amp fuse. Do not use an extension cable.
- Remove the plug from the safety socket after each use, before every cleaning and during periods when the appliance is unattended.
- When disconnecting the appliance from the mains supply, always pull on the plug rather than on the cable.
Do not kink or crush the mains cable. - Ensure that the power cable is undamaged and does not run underneath the appliance or over any hot surfaces or sharp edges.
Lay the cable so that nobody is able to step on it or trip over it.
The mains cable should not come into contact with the body of the appliance or any other hot objects during operation.
4.3. General safety instructions
WARNING!
There is a risk of burns.
During operation, the touchable surfaces on the appliance and accessories may become very hot.
During operation, only touch the appliance on the handles and operating elements! Use oven gloves.
- Do not move the appliance while it is in use. Turn it off and allow it to cool down completely before moving it.
If you remove the lid during or after cooking, hot
steam may escape which can cause burns. Do not hold your head directly over the appliance and never put your hands into this steam.
- Never use the appliance if the pot insert has not been inserted.
Use only the supplied accessories.
ATTENTION!
Sensitive surfaces on the steamer insert.
- Avoid contact with acidic, saline or alkaline foodstuffs. The steamer insert could be damaged.
4.4. Cleaning and care
WARNING!
Live components. There is a risk of electric shock.
Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. If the appliance does fall into liquid, do not attempt to touch it. Disconnect the mains plug first!

6. Before first use
Before the first use and any further cooking, rinse all supplied parts that come into contact with food thoroughly with warm soapy water.
Rinse all the parts afterwards with clean water and dry them thoroughly.
7. Using the rice cooker
Plug the mains cable into the mains connection and connect the mains cable with a properly installed safety socket (230V 50Hz)
7.1. Filling the rice cooker
Use the measuring cup to measure the required amounts.
You can add up to ten measuring cups of washed, uncooked rice (up to 1800 ml) for cooking in the pot insert.
One cupful of uncooked rice (180 ml) produces about triple the amount of cooked rice.
Measure the required quantity of rice and add the rice to the pot insert of the rice cooker.
Make sure that the hotplate and the outside of the pot are clean and dry before you put the pot insert into the rice cooker. This is the only way to ensure optimum contact between the hotplate and the pot insert.
- Add cold water to the pot as indicated on the scale on the inside. Thus, if you add 4 measuring cups of rice, fill the pot insert with water up to the 4 mark on the scale. Adding too much water can cause the appliance to boil over.
Add a little salt according to taste.
TIP:
The taste and hardness of the rice grains will depend on the quality of the rice and the cooking time. To get soft and fluffy rice, add a little more water and allow the rice to soak for about 5-10 minutes before cooking. Bear in mind that cooking times will be longer for brown rice (whole-grain rice).
Set the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
The WARM control lamp lights up orange.
7.2. Cooking
Place the lid on the rice cooker.
Press the power switch down to start the cooking process.
The COOK control lamp lights up red.
CAUTION!
Risk of scalding and risk of property damage.
The escaping steam is very hot! Therefore do not place the rice cooker under kitchen cabinets.
After cooking, the COOK control lamp goes out and the WARM control lamp lights back up.
The cooking time is dependent on the rice type and water fill volume.
The cooked rice is now kept warm.
After cooking, leave the rice to stand for around 5-10 minutes with the lid on to complete cooking.
Fluff up the rice with the supplied spoon and serve it as desired.
- When you are finished using the rice cooker, move the On/Off switch to the OFF position and pull out the plug.
TIP:
If you want to cook some quick-cook rice, first add only the right amount of water to the pot and boil it in the rice cooker. Add the quick-cook rice as soon as the water boils and put the lid on the rice cooker. See the manufacturer's instructions for the cooking times.
7.3. Keeping rice warm
The keep-warm function remains switched on until you set the On/Off switch to the OFF position.
Cooked rice can be kept warm indefinitely. However, the longer you keep the rice warm the more it loses its flavour, colour and nutrients and it can cause odours.
ATTENTION!
Risk of property damage.
If the operating switch is jammed, do not attempt to switch to auto-cook after the cooking process has ended.
8. Using the steamer insert
You can use the steamer insert when cooking rice to steam food such as vegetables.
Fill the pot insert with water.
After filling, place the steamer insert into the pot insert.
- Add the desired quantity of food to the steamer. Do not overfill the steamer and make sure that sufficient steam can escape through the holes in the base to prevent the cooker from boiling over.
- Close the pot insert using the lid.
The steaming times are dependent on the amount of food being steamed. See the following table for some guideline values:
| Vegetables Amount of water Steaming time | ||
| Cabbage, carrots, green beans | 1 measuring cup 15 minutes | |
| Asparagus, spinach, brown/red beans | 1 measuring cup 15 minutes | |
| Courgettes 1 measuring cup | 10 minutes | |
Press the power switch down to steam the food.
After the desired cooking time, push the power switch back up and switch off the appliance by moving the On/Off switch into the OFF position.
9. Cleaning the appliance
WARNING!
Live components. There is a risk of electric shock or short circuit.
- Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. If the appliance does fall into liquid, do NOT attempt to touch it. Disconnect the mains plug first!
Always pull out the plug before cleaning the appliance.
If water gets onto the switch, mains cable or plug or onto the hotplate, allow the appliance to dry thoroughly before using it again.
WARNING!
There is a risk of burns.
To prevent burns, allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning.
Clean the rice cooker carefully after each use.
If there is any rice residue cooked onto the pot insert, fill the pot insert with hot soapy water and leave it to stand for half an hour before cleaning the pot.
Clean the housing inside and out with a damp cloth soaked in soapy water.
The pot insert and lid can be washed in warm soapy water. Do not use any abrasive cleaners or steel wool. Scratches and dents can degrade the contact with the hotplate.
Ensure that no vinegar or salt residue remains in the pot insert as this could lead to corrosion.
