Never add ingredients or water higher than the highest level mark.
When cooking rice
- Before cooking, measure the rice with measuring cup and rinse it.
- Put the rinsed rice into the bowl and fill it with water to the corresponding water level (The graduations in cups).
- The water quantity can be adjusted depending on your taste.

COOKING RICE TABLES
- The table below gives a guide to cook different types of rice. For best results, we recommend using ordinary rice rather than ‘easy cook’ type of rice which tends to give a stickier rice and may adhere to the base. With other types of rice, such as brown or wild rice, the quantities of water need adjustment, check the table below.
- To cook 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large portion), use 1 measuring cup of white rice and then add one and a half 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 highest mark inside the bowl – Fig.8. Depending on the type of rice, quantities of water may need adjustment. See the table below.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking.

SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BEST RESULTS WHEN COOKING RICE
- Measure the rice and rinse it thoroughly under running water in a sieve for a long time (except for risotto rice which should not be rinsed). Then place the rice in the bowl together with the corresponding quantity of water.
- Make sure that the rice is well distributed around the whole surface of the bowl, in order to allow even cooking.
- Add salt to your personal taste if required.
- Water may be substituted to stock. If using stock, there is the risks of rice browning a bit in the bottom.
-
Do not open the lid during cooking as steam will escape and this will affect the cooking time and the taste.
-
On completion of cooking, when the “WARM” indicator light is on, stir the rice and then leave it in the rice cooker for a few minutes longer in order to get perfect rice with separate grains.
- For best result, mix the rice occasionally during keep warm mode.
