Rice Cooking

_Measuring the ingredients - Max capacity of the bowl

- The plastic cup provided with your appliance is for measuring rice and the table states the quantity of rice required for the number of servings. 1 level measuring cup of rice weighs about 150 g.

- The table below gives a guide to cooking different kinds of rice. For best results, we recommend using ordinary rice rather than 'easy cook' type of rice which tends to give a sticker rice and may adhere to the base. With other types of rice, such as brown or white rice, the quantities of water need adjustment check the table below.

- To cook only 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large portion) because there isn't the mark of 1 cup in the cooking pot, you should use 1 measuring cup of white rice and then add 1 1/2 measuring cup of water. With some types of rice it is normal for a little rice to stick on the base when cooking 1 cup of rice. To cook other quantity of white rice, refer to cooking guide below.

- The maximum quantity of water + rice should not exceed the 5.5 or 10 rap mark (depend on product) inside the bowl (depend on product) - Fig.7. Depending on the type of rice, quantities of water may need adjustment. See the table below.

• Rinse the rice thoroughly before rocking.
