cooker while using the keep warm function.

Using Your Rice Cooker

1. Place the unit on a flat level surface. Do not operate on an inclined surface.

2. Measure rice with the included measuring cup. One cup of uncooked rice will make

approximately 2 cups of cooked rice.

3. Wash the rice in a separate bowl until water is relatively clear.

4. Place the washed rice in the cooking pot and add water. Add 1 cup of water for each cup of

uncooked rice then add another ½ cup of water, e.g. 2 cups rice 2½ cups water, 3 cups rice

3½ cups water etc. NOTE: Different kinds of rice absorb water at different rates. The exact

proportions of rice and water change with the type of rice to be cooked.

5. Dry the cooking pot exterior and place gently in the body, rotating it once in position to be

sure the rice pot is completely in contact with the heating element. Close the cover.

6. With the cooking pot in position and cover closed, plug the cord into a suitable power supply

of 220-240V AC 50Hz. NOTE: The cooker will not turn on unless the cooking pot is in place.

Do not plug in until ready to cook.

7. To start the rice cooker, press the “ON/OFF” switch on the front control panel. The red

“COOK” light will come on. To ensure evenly cooked rice stir rice at least twice during

cooking cycle.

8. When your rice is cooked, the cooker will automatically switch off and the keep warm light

will come on indicating it the keep warm function will continue to keep the rice warm.

NOTE: The cookers keep warm function will remain ON unless unplugged. Always unplug

after use.

9. Leave the rice covered for 6-8 minutes to steam the rice. Keep the lid in place after serving

to prevent your rice from drying out or discolouring.
