If used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,

appliance and the hazards involved.
Always disconnect the appliance from the power socket if it is left unattended
and before assembling, disassembling, or cleaning.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Do not use the appliance in a bathroom, near water, or outdoors. Do not
operate the appliance with wet hands or bare feet.
Do not immerse any of the parts (appliance, mains cable, plug) in water or
other liquids during use to protect from fire, electric shock, and personal
injury.
Do not use the appliance if damaged or malfunctioning.
Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst in use. Use and store it out of
reach of children.
To reduce the risk of electric shock ensure that the cooking bowl 3 is
completely dry before you place it into the rice cooker base 4 and connect
the appliance to a power supply.
Use caution when opening the lid 1 during or after cooking. Hot steam will
escape and may cause burns.
Do not touch metal parts during use. When lifting the cooking bowl 3 from
the rice cooker base 4 ensure that it has cooled down sufficiently or use
oven gloves to prevent burns.
-
This appliance is intended for household use only.
-
Ensure that the appliance is always placed on a firm and flat surface, away from any edges of the worktop. Do not place the appliance onto a metal tray or metal surface whilst in use. Do not place the appliance on, or near, hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
-
Keep the appliance and mains cable away from the edges of worktops and out of reach of children. Route the mains cable so it does not overhang, and cannot be tripped over or caught.
-
Do not let the main cable run across an open space, such as between a low-power socket and a table, or across any hot area, such as a cooker. Heat may damage the main cable.
-
The connections on both sides of the mains cable (the appliance and the power socket) should never be strained. If the mains cable is damaged it must be replaced by a qualified person or service to avoid any hazards.
-
This appliance must not be operated by an external timer or a remote control system.
-
Turn the cooking bowl 3 left and right to ensure that it is properly fitted onto the heating element 9.
-
Never use the cooking bowl 3 on top of the stove or in an oven as it will deform its shape.
-
Always fully defrost frozen meat or poultry before cooking or steaming. Ensure that the meat is thoroughly cooked.
-
Do not move the rice cooker when it is switched on or the cooking bowl 3 is full of food.
-
Do not switch the rice cooker on unless there is at least a minimum amount of water or ingredients in the cooking bowl 3. Avoid filling the cooking bowl 3 above the MAX mark.
-
Remove cooking bowl 3 from the rice cooker base 4 before filling it with water.
-
During the cooking process, steam may escape from the steam vent on lid 1. This is normal. Never cover, touch, or obstruct the steam vent.
-
Avoid using the rice cooker near or below curtains, shelves, cupboards, or anything that might be damaged or deformed by hot steam.
-
After cooking is completed operation switch 8 will automatically switch to the KEEP WARM position 7. To completely switch off the rice cooker unplug the mains
cable from the socket. Operation switch 8 must never be held in the COOK position 6 as this may cause damage to the switch-off mechanism. -
Before emptying the cooking bowl 3 remove it from the rice cooker base 4 to avoid spilling the contents onto the heating element 9 which can cause damage to the rice cooker.
-
Always unplug the rice cooker base 4 before removing the steamer 2 or when not in use.

RICE COOKING GUIDE
Before first use, wash the steamer 2 , cooking bowl 3 , lid 1 ,
measuring cup 11, and rice scoop 10 with warm, soapy water. Rinse and
dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Always take care to avoid the steam released when removing the lid 1.
Avoid keeping food in ‘keep warm’ mode for longer than 5-10 minutes as it will
start to dry out and lose its flavor.
- Measure the desired amount of rice using the measuring cup 11 provided. One cup of rice will provide approximately two cups of cooked rice.
- Rinse the rice in the cooking bowl 3 and dispose of the water until the water becomes relatively clear.
- Use the water measurement lines inside the cooking bowl 3 to add an appropriate amount of water.
- Close lid 1 and plug the main cable into a socket before pressing the operation switch 8 down to ‘cook’ mode. The COOK indicator 6 will light up.
- For best results leave lid 1 on for the first 10-15 minutes of cooking.
- When cooking is complete, the rice cooker will automatically switch to ‘keep warm’ mode, and the KEEP WARM indicator 7 will light up.
- After cooking, allow the rice to stand for 5-10 minutes without removing the lid 1. This will ensure the rice is thoroughly cooked.
- Disconnect the rice cooker from the power supply, then lift the cooking bowl 3 from the rice cooker base 4 using the oven gloves. Place it on a heat-proof surface and use the provided rice scoop 10 to fluff the rice.
STEAMING GUIDE
Ensure the water does not completely evaporate from the cooking bowl 3 , causing it to boil dry.
- Add the desired amount of water into the cooking bowl 3.
- Place steamer 2 on top of the cooking bowl 3.
- Place the food into steamer 2 and cover with lid 1. Plug the main cable into the socket. Press the operation switch 8 down to ‘cook’ mode. The COOK indicator 6 will light up.
- When the steaming process is complete the rice cooker will automatically switch to ‘keep warm’ mode and the KEEP WARM indicator 7 will light up.
CLEANING
Unplug the rice cooker and allow it to completely
cool down before cleaning and storing away.
The cooking bowl 3 is not dishwasher safe.
- Remove the cooking bowl 3 and wash with warm, soapy water using a sponge or dishcloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- The lid 1 , steamer 2 , rice scoop 10 and measuring cup 11 can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher.
- Wipe the rice cooker base 4 clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
- Do not use harsh scourers, metal brushes, or abrasive detergents as they may damage the surface.
