5. Detachable Steam Vent – the orange wheel spins and breaks down
any foamy substance that comes out with the steam. The rice cooks
better because the steam vent allows the rice cooker to cook at a
higher heat without worrying about overow since the steam vent
captures excess moisture and bubbles.

DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasive cleansers on any part of the
appliance. NEVER immerse the Base in water or any other liquid.
HOW TO USE
1. Open the Rice Cooker by pressing on the Lid Release Button.
2. Lift out the Rice/Cooking Bowl and make sure that the outside of the
Bowl is clean and dry and that the Heat Sensor in the center, on the

IMPORTANT: NEVER PUT ANY WATER INTO THE RICE COOKER
BASE
3. Add the appropriate amount of water into the Rice/Booking Bowl by
following the level markings inside the Bowl.
Example: to cook 3 cups of rice, measure (using Measuring Cup
provided) 3 cups of rice and add to Rice/Cooking Bowl. Then, follow
the type of rice on the inside of the Rice/Cooking Bowl and ll with
water (or other desired liquid) to the level 3 marking.
4. Place the Rice/Cooking Bowl back in the Rice Cooker Base. Make
sure that the Bowl is seated correctly by turning the Bowl slightly
from side to side.

FLAVOURED RICE
To avour rice, the following liquids can be used instead of water.
•
Chicken or beef stock
•
Orange juice
•
Pineapple juice (1/2 juice, 1/2 water)
•
Tomato juice (2/3 juice, 1/3 water)
•
Milk
•
Vegetable soup
You can also avour the rice by adding the following:
•
Mixed herbs
•
Saron – 3 ml (1/4 tsp) per 225g (8 oz.) of rice
•
Parmesan cheese
•
Sautéed chopped onions
NOTE: If ingredients, other than liquids, have been added to the rice,
the WARM cycle should be on for no longer than 1 hour. This will keep
the avours fresh.
HINTS:
1. There are diering opinions about whether rice should be washed
before cooking. Those in favor argue that this washes away the
starch content and ensures non-sticky grains. Those against feel
valuable soluble vitamins and minerals are lost. Drier, uer rice is
obtained by pre-washing rice. To pre-wash rice, rinse uncooked rice
in Rice Bowl with cold water and drain thoroughly.
2. Brown rice may be cooked using the same instructions as for white
rice. (Note: For best results we suggest washing the brown rice
thoroughly before cooking.) It is important to leave the rice in the
WARM cycle for a minimum of 30 minutes, as brown rice takes
slightly longer to prepare.
3. As a general guide allow 56g (2 oz.) of uncooked rice per person.
When cooked, rice will usually double its volume and weight.
4. Ensure that the rice is level in the Rice/Cooking Bowl so that it cooks
evenly and properly.
5. If desired, add a little butter or oil (15 ml/1 tbsp. per cup of rice) at
the start of cooking to moisten the grains of rice.
6. Flu up the rice at least once during the WARM cycle.
Keep Warm Setting
Your rice cooker automatically switches itself to WARM at the end of all
cooking cycles and will keep warm for up to 24 hours. The Display will
show the elapsed keep warm time in hour(s).
If the cook setting you have chosen is too long and you wish to stop the
cooking cycle and start the WARM cycle, press and hold the WARM/
CANCEL button for 1 second to stop the current cooking setting. Press
the WARM/CANCEL button again and then press the START button to
start the WARM cycle for up to 24 hours.
You may also use it to reheat or keep cooked foods that you haven’t
cooked in your Rice Cooker warm. Press the WARM/CANCEL button
and then press the START button to start the WARM cycle for up to 24
hours.
