PREPARATION FOR USE

Before the first use, wash the parts that will be in contact with food in hot water with a detergent, rinse thoroughly with clean water, wipe till dry, or let it dry. After the lapse of time, let the pot cool down and then pour the remaining water from the pot. Leave free space for due ventilation. The electric socket must be easily accessible so that the appliance can be easily disconnected from the power supply if danger appears. Fully insert the end of the power cord A6 into an electric power socket. Turn on the device by switching the A4 button. Indicator light A2 is switched on.

Assembly of the individual parts
Insert the cooking pot B into case A. Keep turning with the cooking pot slightly, until you make sure that it is positioned (seated) properly on the heating unit. Then place in the lid C.

Use a suitable fabric or paper towel to clean the top edge of the cooking pot B and any other parts that have got soiled by food while the cooking pot was being filled (e.g. the outer bottom). Make sure that there is no food remaining on the heating plate.

Proceed in reverse order to disassemble/remove (or assemble) all the components.

Preparation of rice
Put washed rice into the cooking pot and add the required amount of water (e.g. when preparing 4 measuring cups of dry rice, add water up to level 4 on the scale inside the pot). Add salt to the rice, or season it to suit your taste. Assemble the cooker as per the instructions above. The outside of the cooking pot B must be dry at all times! If this surface is wet or moist, there might be noise while cooking. Press the switch A3. Indicator light A1 indicates cooking. When the rice has been cooked, the appliance switches to the (warming) mode, and indicator light A2 is switched on. For better results, leave the rice rest for ca. 15 minutes (rice will cook thoroughly in the steam). Lift off lid C , let the steam escape, stir the rice (e.g. by the provided ladle). Once the food has been cooked, the pot switches automatically to the “warming” mode. Do not keep rice warm for longer than 5 hours. The dish might go bad.

Steam cooking (only for type ETA 3139/00)

• The quantity of water must be appropriate and always be lower than the steam basket bottom.
• Exceeding this level may cause overflows during use.
• Place the steam basket F onto the internal container B.
• Add the ingredients to the basket and place lid C onto the container.

ATTENTION

– During the whole time of preparation there is steam going out from the hole in the lid and even liquid can leak around the edge of the lid, which can be accompanied by characteristic hissing. This is absolutely normal and the appliance cannot be subject to a complaint about this reason.
– Never touch the metal and glass surface of the pot during the preparation of food as these parts can be HOT! Be especially careful and prevent children from touching the pot!

 MAINTENANCE

Clean the pot only after it has cooled down! Clean the appliance regularly after every use.
Do not use rough and aggressive detergents (e.g. sharp objects, peelers, chemical solvents, thinning agents, caustic agents for cleaning ovens, or other solvents)! Clean the outer surfaces with a soft and wet cloth. Wash all the other parts (i.e. B, C, D, E ) in hot water with a detergent, then rinse with clean water and let them dry completely (for C, D, and E you can also use a dishwasher). Before every other use, dry all parts and surface of the pot thoroughly (e.g. moisture condensation). Never soak the steam pot in water or fill the baking space with water! Wipe the outer areas of the baking pan with a dampened rag.

Maintenance of a serious nature or maintenance which requires interference with the internal parts of the appliance must be carried out by a professional service center!

By failing to follow the instructions issued by the manufacturer, the right to the warranty service will be invalidated!
