1. Place the unit on a clean, dry counter.
2. Remove glass lid (L).
3. Fill the pot (I) with rice and water.
4. Replace lid.
WARNING : Extreme caution should be exercised when using Rice
function. Steam generated inside the pot is owing through steam
vent on the lid, and surrounding the lid , that may cause serious
burns.
From stand-by mode, turn the Function Selector Dial (A) to select
RICE function.
The lower display is switched o, Set Time/Temperature button (G)
is disabled as a default temperature is used for the Rice function.
The upper display defaults to h00:00m.
Temperature for this function is automatically set to Rice function
mode, and not shown.
Pressing Start/Stop button (D) the selected cooking function is
started, the red light (E) around Start/Stop button will illuminate,
and the display will show a time count-up from h00:00m until the
rice has been properly cooked and the water inside the pot is com-
pletely evaporated.
It is possible to stop the function anytime by pressing Start/Stop
button (D). The red light (E) around Start/Stop button will light o,
the display turn to stand-by mode.
Once the appliance detects that the water inside the pot is com-
pletely evaporated, the rice has been properly cooked, the control
will stop the function, the red light (E) Start/Stop button will shut-
o, the display will ash “End”.
While “End” is ashing you can reset the control by pressing Start/
Stop button (D).
The control goes into stand-by mode.
If no action is taken after 5 minutes ashing, the control will auto-
matically switch to Keep Warm function.
Keep Warm red light (F) will illuminate, the red light (E) around
Start/Stop button will illuminate , timer will restart from h00:00m.
Once Keep Warm function timing is elapsed , the control will turn o
and will go in stand-by mode.
IMPORTANT: Avoid prolonged time in keep warm mode, as rice may
overcook as a result. We recommend to not leave rice in cooker for
more than 1 hour in keep warm mode.
Guide for Rice Cooking
The easiest way to cook rice is to place the rice in cooking pot and
add appropriate water amount.
NOTES :
• Cooking times will vary according to amount of rice, type of
rice and cooking liquid.
• For grains and specialty rice, use the chart provided on page
15.
• All rice/grain and water/liquid is measured in a Standard Mea-
suring Cup. Add salt based on your own taste.
• 1 cup of uncooked rice provides 2~3 servings.
• Rinse the standard rice with plenty of running water before
cooking. It will remove excess starch for a better nal result,
with less foam generated during cooking, reducing spill over.
It will also reduce the starch lm on pot bottom once rice is
cooked. Flavored rice and enriched rice shall not be rinsed to
avoid avor spices or added nutrients removal.
• Water quantity may vary slightly based on rice type and brand.
• Adjust water quantity based on your own taste if necessary:
increase water to get more cooked rice, decrease water to get
less cooked rice.
• Brown and Black rice generally needs longer cooking times
than white rice.
• Parboiled rice is a process that provides more nutrition than
white rice while shortening the time necessary for nal prepa-
ration, so less water amount shall be used.
• You should not prepare these amounts in smaller or larger
quantities than stated in the chart.
• The multi cooker will use less water than the traditional stove
top rice preparation. Please consult the recommendations in
the table below for some common types of rice.
