IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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  removable bowl 4 is completely dry before you place it into the rice cooker base 5 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 removable bowl 4 from the rice cooker base 5 ensure that it has cooled down sufficiently or use oven gloves to prevent burns.

Due to hot parts and potential hazards, this appliance should not be used by children under 16 years old unless supervised by an adult.
Please keep the appliance and mains cable out of the reach of children.
This is not a toy! f used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, instruction and supervision must be given to understand the use of the appliance and the hazards involved.
Always disconnect the appliance from the power socket if it is left unattended and before assembling, disassembling or cleaning. If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by qualified persons in order to avoid any hazards.

• 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, a 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 mains 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 mains 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 removable bowl 4 left and right to ensure that it is properly fitted onto the heating element 12.

• Never use the removable bowl 4 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 removable bowl 4 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 removable bowl 4. Avoid filling the removable bowl 4 above the MAX mark.

• Remove the removable bowl 4 from the rice cooker base 5 before filling it with water.

• During the cooking process, steam may escape from the steam vent 2 on the lid 1. This is normal. Never cover, touch or obstruct the steam vent.

RICE COOKING GUIDE

Before first use, wash the steamer 3, removable bowl 4, 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.
Avoid keeping food in ‘keep warm’ mode longer than 5-10 minutes as it will start to dry out and lose its flavour .

• 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 removable bowl 4 and dispose of the water until the water becomes relatively clear.
• Use the water measurement lines inside the removable bowl 4 to add an appropriate amount of water.
• Close the lid 1 and plug mains cable into a socket before pressing the operation switch 9 down to ‘cook’ mode. The COOK indicator 7 will light up.
• For best results leave the lid 1 on for 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 8 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 removable bowl 4 from the rice cooker base 5 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 removable bowl, causing it to boil dry.

• Place the food into the steamer 3 and cover with the lid 1. Plug the mains cable into the socket. Press the operation switch 9 down to ‘cook’ mode. The COOK indicator 7 will light up.
