Operating Instructions

Before First Use

• Remove all the packaging
• Wash all components, (refer to care guide below)

Cooking Use

• Use rice measuring cup provided to measure required quantity of rice (refer to rice cooking table below).
• Place measured rice into a separate bowl and wash by rinsing with cold water, removing any excess starch. The rice is ready for cooking when water runs clear.
• Alternatively, you can soak the rice for 30 mins prior to cooking.
• Ensure the exterior of the inner cooking bowl is clean before placing in the outer housing. This will ensure proper contact with the inner cooking surface.
• Add washed rice to the inner cooking bowl, ensuring rice is spread evenly across the bottom of the bowl and not heaped to one side.
• Add water using the following ratios: White Rice: 1 measuring cup of rice = 1 cup of water on the rice marker level.

Brown Rice: 1 measuring cup of rice = 1½ cup of water on the rice marker level. (Refer to rice cooking table)

• Close lid (it will click shut)
• Plug power cord into outlet and switch the power on. The amber 'Warm' light will illuminate
• To commence cooking, flick leaver down. The red 'Cook' light will illuminate.
• When cooking is complete, the appliance will automatically switch to the 'Keep Warm' setting. The amber 'Warm' light will illuminate
• Open lid and turn rice over with serving spoon provided.

- Replace lid and allow rice to stand for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows any excess moisture to be absorbed, resulting in a fluffier rice texture.

Important

• When appliance is on keep warm, rice can turn a little harder if kept on for a long time.
• To avoid, add a little more water if keeping warm for longer to prevent the rice from browning.
