Congratulations on the purchase of your new Multi Chef RC 4010.
CATLER RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST At Catler we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.
• • • • • • The temperature of accessible surfaces will be high when the multi cooker is operating and for some time after use Do not place anything, other than the lid, on top of the multi cooker when assembled, when in use and when stored. Always insert the connector end of the power cord into the appliance inlet before inserting power plug into the power outlet and switching on appliance. Ensure the appliance inlet is completely dry before inserting the connector end of the power cord.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES • Fully unwind the power cord before use. • Connect only to 230V or 240V power outlet. • Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a bench or table, touch hot surfaces or become knotted. • To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the power cord, power plug or appliance in water or any other liquid or allow moisture to come in contact with the part, unless it is recommended in the cleaning instructions.
BEFORE STARTING TO COOK, CLEAN THE BOTTOM OF THE INNER POT AND THE SURFACE OF THE HEATING PLATE. TO ENSURE THE POT IS SITTING FLAT ON THE HEATING PLATE, TURN THE POT CLOCKWISE AND ANTI CLOCKWISE INSIDE THE RICE COOKER. THE POT MUST BE PROPERLY POSITIONED INSIDE THE RICE COOKER OR THE UNIT WILL NOT WORK AND MAY BECOME DAMAGED. WARNING FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER. FULLY UNWIND THE CORD BEFORE USE. SAFE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

OPERATING YOUR MULTI CHEF RC 4010 BEFORE FIRST USE Before first use, remove all packaging material and promotional labels and wash the non-stick removable cooking bowl, stainless steel steaming tray and glass lid in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. HOW TO MAKE RISOTTO SAUTÉ|SEAR setting 1. Ensure exterior of the removable cooking bowl is clean before placing it in the housing (this will ensure proper contact with the inner cooking surface). 2. Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V power outlet.
There may be occasions when the multi cooker switches to the KEEP WARM setting or switches off before cooking is complete. If this occurs, simply press the desired cooking button, then press the START|CANCEL button. The START|CANCEL button surround will illuminate red and the selected setting will be activated. This is a safety mechanism to prevent overheating due to certain cooking conditions.
To stop the KEEP WARM setting, unplug the power cord. NOTE Fig. 3 5. Add water using the following ratios: White Rice = 1 scoop rice: 1 scoop water Brown Rice = 1 scoop rice: 1½ scoops water 6. Place the glass lid into position. 7. Plug power cord into 230V or 240V power outlet. The START|CANCEL button and RISOTTO button surround will illuminate in white. 8. Press the RICE|STEAM button, then press the START|CANCEL button to activate the setting.
HOW TO SLOW COOK SEAR setting Searing in the multi cooker may take a little extra time and whilst not strictly necessary, the rewards are evident in the end result. The cooking bowl keeps the heat stable and uniform allowing the meat to brown and form an even crust. Plus searing seals in the moisture, intensifies the flavour and provides more tender results. 1.
4. Allow to cook until the ready beeps sound. The unit then automatically switches to KEEP WARM setting. 5. The multi cooker will remain on the KEEP WARM setting for 5 hours before switching OFF. The Catler Multi Chef is designed specifically for flavour layering. A technique professional chefs use to enhance and deepen the taste of meals by using the same pan for browning onions, searing meats and creating casseroles, curries, soups and bolognaise.
RICE COOKING TABLES The rice scoop provided with your multi cooker is used in the following tables. The multi cooker rice scoop is not a standard metric measuring cup. 1 multi cooker rice scoop is equal to 150g of uncooked rice and 180ml of water.
RICE VARIATIONS Savory rice Prepare rice in the multi cooker as specified, substituting all the water with the same quantity of chicken, beef, fish, or vegetable stock. Sweet rice Prepare rice in the multi cooker as specified substituting half the water with apple juice, orange juice or pineapple juice. Cooking rice with milk or cream is not recommended as it will burn onto the bottom of removable cooking bowl. Saffron rice Add ¼ teaspoon of saffron powder or 2 saffron threads to every 2 cups of water.
STEAMING Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value when cooked in the multi cooker. Foods may be steamed by placing food in the stainless steel steaming tray over stock or water and covering with the glass lid. Keep the glass lid on while steaming food unless the recipe or chart specifically states to remove the lid. By removing the lid unnecessarily steam is lost and the cooking time will be extended. 1. Measure 3 rice scoops or more of water or stock and pour into the removable cooking bowl.

Hints and tips for 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 color. TYPE SUGGESTIONS AND TIPS Fish – fillets – whole – cutlets Lobster – tails Mussels – in shell Clams Prawns - in shell Scallops Steam until opaque and easy to flake.
Hints and tips for steaming dumplings • Fresh or frozen dumplings and savoury buns can be steamed. • Place small pieces of baking paper, or cabbage or lettuce leaves, under the dumplings to avoid sticking to the steaming tray.
CARE & CLEANING Unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Allow all parts to cool before removing the removable cooking bowl. Wash the removable cooking bowl, stainless steel steaming tray and glass lid in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. It is not recommend that any parts of your multi cooker are washed in a dishwasher as harsh detergents and hot water temperatures may stain or distort the removable cooking bowl and accessories.
