USE OF THE RICE COOKER

Put the device on the flat and stable surface.
Take the inner pot out (number 10).
Take needed amount of rice using the measuring cup. Max. capacity is 700 grams. For the best results we recommend max. two measuring cups of the rice. Put the rice into the strainer and rinse it with the clean water. Rice is completely clean, when there is clean water coming out. Never rinse the rice in the inner pot (number 10)! If the rice is not completely clean, it will cook worse and there will be foam generating in the pot.
Put the rinsed rice to the inner pot (number 10) and make its surface flat.
Pour the water to the inner pot up to the relevant mark on the inner side on the pot (number 10). Scale CUP shows water volume when cooking given number of measuring cups. For example, when you have two cups, water has to reach the number 2 on scale. Never fill the pot up to the number 5!
After you fill inner pot (number 10), put pot into the device. Before you do so, check, there is no humidity, rice, etc. on the outside of the pot.
Put the lid to the container (number 1) so that steam outlet aim from you.
Connect the cable to the electrical grid and switch the power switch to the position „I“ (number 11) – orange indicator (number 5) will light up.
Push the cooking switch (number 7) down. Orange indicator (number 5) will turn off and red indicator (number 6) will turn on, which means that cooking has started.
Once the rice is cooked, the cooking switch (number 7) will automatically „pop“ and the cooker will switch to heating mode – the yellow indicator (number 5) will turn on and the red will go out
(number 6). In this state, the rice will be kept warm. It is recommended to leave the rice in the
pot under the lid for 10 minutes after cooking. The heating mode will be active until you turn the appliance off the socket or turn the power switch to the „O“ position on the body (11). Never leave the appliance unattended even in heating mode!
If you want to serve rice, switch off the appliance by turning the switch (number 11) to the „O“ position and pull the power cord out of the socket. Remove the lid and mix the rice with the supplied spoon (No. 9). Now the rice is ready for consumption. When serving and handling the pot, use goggles. The inner container may be very hot!

RECOMMENDATION

Rice cooking takes about 20-30 minutes.
One cup of raw rice equals about one serving (this is up to your preferences).
You can add salt to the water just before turning on cooking.
The water and rice ratio given in this manual is indicative. The most suitable ratio will be found after several uses. It also depends very much on the type of rice being prepared.
If the inner container is not in, it is not possible to start cooking.
To maintain consistency, we recommend that the rice is kept in heating mode for a maximum of two hours. Before cooking the next batch of rice, let the cooker cool down.
