USING YOUR RICE COOKER

Measuring the ingredients – Max capacity of the bowl

The graduated markings on the inside of the bowl are given in cups, these are used for measuring the amount of water when cooking rice and other cereals. The maximum quantity of water + rice should not exceed the 8 cups mark inside the bowl – Fig.4.
The plastic cup provided with your appliance is for measuring rice.
To cook 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large portion), use 1 measuring cup of white rice and then add 1 1/2 measuring cup of water.
To cook other quantity of rice, refer to cooking guide below.

COOKING GUIDE FOR WHITE RICE

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Please ensure the rice cooker is unplugged and completely cooled down before cleaning and maintenance. – Fig. 7
It is strongly advised to clean the appliance after each use with a sponge. – Fig. 8, 9
The accessories (Spoon / Spatula / Steam Basket / Measuring Cup) are dishwasher safe. The cooking pot can be washed in the dishwasher, however to ensure its durability, we recommend you to use hand washing with soapy water and soft sponge. (Some dishwasher detergents are very corrosive and the edge of your pot could slightly change its aspect over time. This does not affect the cooking performances but could damage its cosmetic.)

Taking care of the pot
For the pot, carefully follow the instructions below:

To ensure the maintenance of pot quality, it is recommended not to cut food in it.
Use the plastic spoon provided or a wooden spoon (avoid metal spoon), so as to avoid damaging the pot surface.
To avoid any risk of corrosion, do not pour vinegar into the pot.
Scouring powders and abrasive sponges are not recommended.
If food has stuck to the bottom, you may put water in the pot to soak for a while before washing.
Dry the pot carefully.

Cleaning the steam valve

To clean the steam valve, please remove it from the lid. – Fig. 10 After cleaning, please wipe dry and put it back to the lid.

Cleaning and care of the other parts of the appliance

Clean the outside of the Rice Cooker, the inside of the lid and the cord with a damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use abrasive products.
Do not use water to clean the interior of the appliance body as it could damage the heat sensor.

NOTE

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 light changes to green, 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.
Do not touch the heating element when the product is powered on.
Carefully wipe the outside of the pot (especially the bottom). Make sure that there are no foreign residues or liquid underneath the pot and on the heating element
Never place your hand on the steam vent during cooking, as there is a danger of burns
