residential type environments;
- bed and breakfast settings
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or
lack experience and knowledge unless,
they have been given instruction and or
guidance concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
•
Use only on an appropriate benchtop and
indoors only, sitting away from flammable
materials such as curtains, draperies and
walls of similar nature as a fire may occur if
comes in contact or becomes covered
during operation.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas, electric
burner, or in a heated oven.
• Do not use appliance for other than its
intended use.
• This rice cooker is not a deep fryer.
•
This appliance is under 220V~240V use only.
Check voltage to be sure the voltage
indicated on the nameplate agrees with your

•
Always attach plug to rice cooker first, then
plug cord to wall outlet. To safely
disconnect, press the START/STOP button
to stop cooking cycle and remove plug
from electrical outlet.
• To avoid the possibility of the rice cooker
being accidentally pulled off the working
area, which could result in damage to the
unit or personal injury, do not let the cord
hang over the edge of a table or benchtop.
• To avoid damage to the cord and possible
fire or electrocution hazard, do not let cord
come into contact with any hot surfaces
including a stovetop.
• Do not operate this appliance if it has been
dropped or damaged (including the cord)
in any manner or is not operating correctly.
• Do not operate this appliance in an
appliance cabinet or under a wall cabinet.
When storing in an appliance cabinet,
always unplug the rice cooker from the
electrical outlet. Not doing so could create
a risk of fire, especially if the rice cooker is
in contact with the walls of any cabinetry or
on closing the cabinet door and touching
the rice cooker.
• Keep hands hair and clothing away during
operation to reduce the risk of injury.
• Always unplug from the electrical outlet
when not in use before putting on or
taking off parts and before cleaning.
• The use of attachments not recommended
by Cuisinart may be hazardous.
• At no time, before or during cooking and
cleaning immerse rice cooker, plug or cord
in water, or any other liquids similarly under
running water too – this is to protect
against the starting of a fire and electric
shock that could induce injury to persons.
If the rice cooker, plug or cord should fall
into water or other liquids, unplug the cord
from the electrical output immediately. DO
NOT reach into the water.
• The temperature of accessible surfaces
may be high when the appliance is
operating. Surfaces marked with this
symbol will be very hot to touch during use
– only use handles and/or knobs.

cooker has cooled down.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes, such
as adding refrigerated foods into the glass
dish.
•
Only cook in the pot provided or in
containers placed on the cooking rack in the
provided pot
• A heated pot may damage benchtops
tables. When removing the hot pot from
the rice cooker, do not place it directly on
any unprotected surface. Always set on a
heat-protective surface e.g. a trivet or rack.
• Do not place sealed or airtight containers
in the cooking pot.

QUICK TIPS
RICE
• Do not open lid during cooking, as
steam will escape and this will affect
the cooking time and taste.
• We recommend rinsing all imported rice
(except for risotto rice). Place rice in a
medium bowl and cover with water. Do not
use the cooking pot. Swirl until the water
appears cloudy, then drain in a fine mesh
strainer. Fill the bowl with fresh water and
repeat until water is clear or nearly clear.
• Some people wash domestic rice, which is
often vitamin enriched. This removes the
starch and makes it less sticky, but it also
washes away some of those vitamins.
• Sushi rice and most brown rice should
always be rinsed before cooking. Follow
the directions on your package of rice.
• When measuring rice with your rice cooker
cup, level it off with a knife or spatula.
• Adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil to rice
or coating the cooking pot lightly with
nonstick cooking spray will result in rice with
separated, less sticky grains.
• After adding rice to the cooking pot,
level it off to cover the entire bottom of the
pot so it cooks evenly.
• The taste of the water will affect the taste of
the rice. If you do not like the taste of your
tap water, use filtered water.
• Rice can be cooked in liquids other than
water. Use low-sodium meat, chicken or
vegetable stocks/broths. Fish stock may be
used for seafood-flavoured rice.
• When making rice, open the rice cooker as
soon as the audible tone sounds to indicate
cooking cycle is complete. Stir rice with the
rice paddle or a wooden spoon – this
prevents rice from hardening or getting
sticky.
• For combination dishes of rice, steamed
vegetables, seafood, poultry and/or meats,
use our recipes as a guide and create your
own.
GRAINS
• We recommend rinsing most grains prior to
cooking. This process removes excess starch
and produces a cooked result that has more
separated grains.
• Some people have sensitivities to grains
and rinsing them can help remove some of
those aggravating triggers.
• While grains can stay on Keep Warm in the
unit up to 6 hours, it is recommended that
upon finishing cooking, that the lid is
opened and grains are fluffed with a paddle
or fork. They can then sit on Keep Warm for
longer.
• Some grains contain high starch content.
The Steam Release Vent may need to be
occasionally wiped with a cloth to prevent
excess foaming and dripping.
• Always use cold, filtered water when
cooking grains for the best flavor.
• Always refer to the cooking charts on page
12 for grain-to-water ratios – rice cookers
require different measurements than
standard stovetop preparations.
OATS
• Oats can be cooked with either water, milk,
alternative milks, or a combination of those
listed.
• Adding a pinch of salt and warm spices
enhances the flavour of the cooked oats.
• Finished porridge should be stirred well
prior to serving.
• For rolled oats, cooking is complete in
approximately 15 minutes. A 4 beep tone
will sound when ready.
10 11
RISOTTO
• Use the Sauté program to sauté aromatics
and/or vegetables, toasting rice, and
reducing liquid.
• The Risotto program is uniquely
programmed to gently cook risotto rice and
liquid to a creamy product without the
constant stirring. Use our recipes as a
guideline to adapt your favourite recipes.
• It is recommended to use Arborio rice, but
other, similar-type rice can be used
(Carnaroli, Vialone).
• The Countdown timer will appear for the
last 15 minutes of cooking and a tone will
sound. At this time, open the lid and stir the
risotto. If it is done to your liking, press
Start/Stop (or switch to the Keep Warm
function). If the risotto needs additional
liquid, stir it in at this time (best if the liquid
is room temperature). This also allows you
to add additional ingredients that only
require a short cooking time, such as tender
vegetables. i.e. spinach, fresh herbs and
delicate seafood.
ONE POT
• This program can get you dinner on the
table in as little as 30 minutes or can be
used as a slow-cooking function. Just put
your ingredients in the pot, choose your
cooking time and press Start/Stop.
• Need to brown meat or steam chicken first?
Combine with other programs, such as
Sauté or Steam functions.
• One Pot is also perfect for making
homemade soups. See our recipes for a few
quick ideas.
PASTA
• Any pasta variety (up to 225g) can be cooked
using the Pasta function.
• 18 minutes, the default time, produces an al
dente pasta. Add more time, or reduce
time, to desired doneness.
• Use cold lightly salted water when cooking.
• Drain pasta immediately after cooking.
BEANS
• All beans should be soaked prior to cooking
(use the Soak program to soak
a minimum of 8 hours).
• Always rinse beans well prior to and after
soaking.
• Use the cooking chart on page 13 for
cooking time guidelines (if the exact bean is
not on the cooking chart, use one of similar
size and shape).
• Only cook up to 225g of beans at
one time.
• Add a small amount, about ½ teaspoon, of
baking soda to tenderize beans while they
are cooking.
• Add fresh herbs or aromatics, such as
a quartered onion, to enhance flavour of the
beans.
• Drain beans immediately after cooking.
SOAK
• The Soak program is a way to prepare rice,
grains or beans prior to cooking.
• Soaking super grains & rices prior to
cooking makes them easier to digest for
many people who have food sensitivities.
• Always soak beans prior to cooking.
PRE-WASH
• Use immediately after cooking starchy
grains or dishes with strong aromatic
flavours to help clean pot and inner lid.
KEEP WARM
• The Keep Warm function is a great way
to keep already just cooked, heated foods
warm for serving.
• It is not meant as a cooking function.
• Raw meats or foods under the temperature
of 60°C should not be cooked using this
function.
STEAMING
• When steaming vegetables, clean
them and trim to a consistent size so
they cook evenly.
• When steaming meats, such as poultry or
sausage, cut into consistent-sized pieces
11
(such as “finger strips” or 1½cm slices) and
arrange in a single layer on the steaming
tray.
• Refer to the chart on page 14 for suggested
steaming times. Note
that the chart is only a guide and that times
may vary based on the size of the pieces,
quantity, freshness of food and personal
taste.
• Steamed foods should be removed
immediately after cooking to avoid
overcooking.
QUICK TIPS GUIDES
RICE
Use these charts and the water level markings in the cooking pot as guidelines. There are variables in the
texture of cooked rice, from subtle differences between brands, to rinsing or not rinsing to personal taste.
Let your taste and preference serve as your best guide. If your rice/grain is too hard or chewy,
increase water amounts by ¼ cup at a time. If rice/grain is too soft, reduce the water by ¼ cup
until your desired texture is achieved.
