EN

The rice cooker itself determines the exact cooking time depending

on the quantity of water and ingredients placed in the bowl (see

cooking table above for a guide to timing). When all of the water has

been absorbed by the rice, the appliance stops the cooking process

automatically and enters into the “KEEP WARM” mode (the green

“KEEP WARM” indicator light comes on).

Note: Always add the rice first otherwise you will have too much water.

Thecookingtimegiveninthetablesaboveisaricecookingtimeguide.

• Placetheapplianceonaflat,stable,heat-resistantworksurfaceaway

fromwatersplashesandanyothersourcesofheat.

• Pourtherequiredquantityofriceintothebowlusingthemeasuring

cupprovided.Thenfillwithcoldwateruptothecorresponding“CUP”

• Closethelid.

Some recommendations

for best results when cooking rice

• Measurethericeandrinseitthoroughlyunderrunningwaterinasievefor

alongtime(exceptforrisottoricewhichshouldnotberinsed).Thenplace

thericeinthebowltogetherwiththecorrespondingquantityofwater.

• Makesurethatthericeiswelldistributedinthebowltoallowevencooking.

• Addsalttowater:dependingonpersonaltaste.

• Watermaybesubstitutedwithstock.Ifusingstock,thereisriskofrice

browninginthebowl.

• Donotopenthelidduringcookingassteamwillescapeandthiswill
