ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS

• If you add any additional ingredients (raisins, fruit, nuts, etc.), you should reduce the amount of rice to compensate for the amount of water they'll absorb.
• Raisins and dried fruit will absorb as much water as rice, so put them into the measuring cup along with the rice.
• Nuts won't generally absorb much water, so you can normally add them after you've measured the rice.

1. Add the required amount of water – Use method 1 or 2 above.
2. Put the basket on top of the bowl and put the food into the basket.
3. For uniform cooking, cut all pieces of food to roughly the same size.

UPORABA KUHALA ZA KUHANJE NA PARI

1. Dodajte potrebnu količinu vode. Koristite gornje načine 1 ili 2.
2. Stavite košaru na vrh posude i stavite hranu u košaru.
3. Za ravnomjerno kuhanje, izrežite sve komade hrane otprilike na istu veličinu.
4. Ukoliko kuhate grašak ili bilo šta što može prsnuti ili upasti u vodu, napravite paketić od aluminijske folije.
5. Budite pažljivi kod skidanja paketića: stavite rukavice za pećnicu i koristite se plastičnim hvataljkama/žlicama.
6. Stavite poklopac na vrh košare.
7. Pustite kuhalo da radi na isti način kao da se radi o kuhanju riže.
8. Slijedite vrijeme kuhanja na pari.
9. Nemojte ostavljati hranu u kuhalu poslije kuhanja na pari, jer će postati gnjecava.
10. Zabilježite vrstu i količinu hrane i količinu vode. Sljedeći put, popravite količinu vode i ostavite da se kuhalo brine o vremenu.

JESTE LI ZAVRŠILI?

1. Isključite uređaj i izvucite kabel iz utičnice.
2. Nemojte pomjerati kuhalo za rižu ako se na njemu nalazi puna posuda. Kuhalo će biti teško i kabel se može zaplesti oko nečega dok se krećete.
3. Prije pražnjenja, skinite posudu s kuhala za rižu. Ukoliko nastojite da izvadite hranu iz posude dok je još na kuhalu, riža može ispasti u kuhalo i oštetiti ga.

ČIŠĆENJE I ODRŽAVANJE

1. Isključite uređaj, izvucite utikač iz utičnice i ostavite ga da se ohladi.
2. Operite posudu, poklopac i rešetku u toploj sapunici, isperite i osušite.
3. Obrišite sve površine čistom vlažnom krpom.
   Te dijelove možete prati u perilici.

• Ovo vrijeme odnosi se na pojedinačni sloj hrane. Morat ćete vršiti nekoliko proba kako biste pronašli vrijeme koje najbolje odgovara vašim omiljenim jelima i njihovim kombinacijama.
• Kuhajte meso, perad i prerađevine (mljeveno meso, hamburgere, itd) dok se iz njih ne pojavi bistri sok. Kuhajte ribu dok joj boja ne postane potpuno mutna.
• Kuhajte lisnato povrće što je manje moguće, kako bi se održali zelenim i hrskavim. Ako ih potopite u ledenu vodu, zaustavlja se proces kuhanja.
