Functions BEFORE FIRST USE Step 2 Before first use, remove all promotional labels and any packaging materials and wash the non-stick coated removable cooking bowl and steaming tray in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Place the rice into a separate bowl and wash rice by rinsing with cold water to remove any excess starch. The rice is ready for cooking when water runs clear from the rice.
Step 5 Step 11 Add water using the following ratios: White Rice = 1 Rice Box™ cup water : 1 Rice Box™ cup rice Brown Rice = 1½ Rice Box™ cups water : 1 Rice Box™ cup rice (Refer to table on page 14 for more information) To stop the WARM setting, press the CANCEL button and switch off at the power outlet and unplug the cord.

Auto Settings COOK/SUSHI SETTING The most common cooking setting suitable for cooking larger quantities of up to 10 Rice Box™ cups of rice. • This setting is suitable for the cooking and preparation of sushi rice for sushi. see RECIPE section of IB for recipe ideas • An arrow will appear on the LED screen aligned to the COOK/SUSHI setting when the rice cooker is turned on. Press the START button to commence cooking and two dashes “--“ will appear on the screen.
PORRIDGE/SOUP SETTING CRISPY RICE SETTING • Rice porridge or soup is similar to Congee, but requires longer cooking and more water/ stock to rice ratio. Rice grain shapes should be indistinguishable with 70% of the grain broken up during stirring. • Originally food made for the poor or the convalescing; rice porridge/soup can be eaten at all meals. It can be eaten sweet or savoury, thick or thin with simple or complex flavours. (see RECIPE section of IB for recipe ideas).
CANCEL SETTING TIMER SETTING • The CANCEL button can be pressed at any time to cancel programming functions or stop the cooking or WARM functions. The TIMER setting can be used to preset the finishing cooking time, allowing you to set the TIMER and function and the rice cooker will do the rest. It will automatically switch to the WARM setting once the cooking time has elapsed, ensuring meals are ready to serve. • The Timer setting can be used on all cooking functions.
RICE COOKING TABLES The measuring cup provided is used in the following tables. NOTE • • • • The Rice Box™ measuring cup is not a standard metric measuring cup. 1 Rice Box™ measuring cup is equal to 140g of uncooked rice and 175ml of water. 1 Australian standard metric measuring cup is equal to 200g of uncooked rice.
Rice Cooking Tips • Add a little extra water for fluffier rice and a little less water for firmer rice. • Washed rice will have some extra water adhering after rinsing. This extra water will extend the cooking time slightly. Reduce the measured amount of water to compensate, if required. • Some rice varieties may require more water for cooking, such as wild rice blends, Arborio rice or short grain rice. Follow the directions on the packet or use the brown rice cooking table.
Steaming Tips Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value when cooked in the rice cooker. Foods may be steamed by placing food in the steaming tray over stock or water and closing the lid. Keep the lid closed while steaming food unless the recipe or chart specifically states to open the lid. By opening the lid unnecessarily steam is lost and the cooking time will be extended. 1. Measure 3 Rice Box™ cups or more of water or stock into the removable cooking bowl.
STEAMING VEGETABLES Smaller pieces will steam faster than larger pieces. Try to keep vegetables to a uniform size to ensure even cooking. Fresh or frozen vegetables may be steamed. If steaming frozen vegetables, do not thaw before cooking. The size and shape of vegetables, as well as personal taste, may call for adjustments to the cooking time. If softer vegetables are required, allow extra cooking time. Do not allow water or stock to reach the steaming tray. The steaming will not be effective.
STEAMING FISH AND SEAFOOD • Season fish with fresh herbs, onions, lemon etc. before cooking. • Ensure fish fillets are in a single layer and do not overlap. • Fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in colour. Type Suggestions and tips Cooking time (minutes) Fish – fillets Steam until opaque and easy to flake.
Care, Cleaning & Storage Switch the rice cooker off at the power outlet and then unplug power cord. Allow all parts to cool before removing the removable cooking bowl. Wash the removable cooking bowl and steaming tray in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Breville does not recommend that any parts of your rice cooker are washed in a dishwasher as harsh detergents and hot water temperatures may stain or distort the removable cooking bowl and accessories.
