- Cook in the removable vessel only to prevent risk of electric shock.
Rice cooking
-
Place the cooker on a dry, fl at surface.
-
Rinse the rice before cooking under running water to remove free starch. The rice is ready for cooking when the water runs clear.
-
Using the supplied measuring cup, measure out the desired amount of rice. Always measure the amount as even, do not overfi ll the measuring cup.
-
Before inserting the inner container in stainless steel body of the cooker, make sure that its outer surface is clean and dry. This ensures perfect contact of the inner and outer container.
• Clean the bottom of the cooking vessel and the cooking area before cooking. Turn the vessel inside the cooker left and right to make sure it sits straight in the cooking area.
The vessel has to sit properly in the cooker, otherwise the appliance will not work properly and might be damaged. -
Make sure that the cooking vessel sits straight in the body of the cooker and put in the rinsed rice. Make sure that the rice is spread evenly over the bottom of the container and does not adhere to the walls, as shown.
-
Depending on the amount of rice fi ll up with water up to the appropriate fi ll line. There are marked lines in the container, indicating the level of water according to the amount of rice. Never fi ll over the maximum fi ll line marked on the container.

Tips for cooking rice
-
Rice is a valuable source of complex carbohydrates containing natural starch. We recommend that you rinse the rice using cold potable water until it runs clear.
This prevents the browning of rice and its sticking to the bottom part of the vessel, however, it may also cause loss of some rice nutrients. -
When you add more water, the rice becomes fl uffi er, when you remove water the rice becomes tougher.
-
Some types of rice need more water, for example wild rice, Arborio rice of short grain rice. Therefore always adjust the recipe as needed. Proceed according to the instructions on the package of rice.
-
When cooking in a larger amount of water the inside of the lid may be splashed by water drops with starch.
To achieve the best results, rinse the rice before cooking and let it stand for 20 minutes after fi nishing cooking to absorb the excess water.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
After each use
- After use, switch the cooker off and unplug it.
- Before dismantling and cleaning, let all the parts cool off .
- Wash the cooking vessel and lid in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
- We do not recommend washing parts of the cooker in the dishwasher, aggressive agents and hot water can cause stains and other damage to parts of the cooker.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or wire brushes and abrasive sponges, the non-stick surface could be damaged.
- Do not immerse the body of the cooker in water or any other liquids.
- You can wipe the stainless steel body of the cooker with wet cloth and then dry it off .
