Close and lock the lid.
Check that the condensation collector is correctly in position – Fig. 6.
Plug in the appliance.
Do not switch on the appliance until all of the above stages have been completed.
Never place your hand over the steam vent during cooking, as there is a danger of burns.
If the bowl is not properly in place in the appliance, cooking will not start. If you wish to
change the selected cooking time or the cooking mode in the event of an error, select the
cooking mode and then the cooking time again.
The corresponding cooking mode light will flash during 5 secondes. During these 5
secondes, you can still adjust directly the cooking mode or time.
RICE COOKER
Measuring the ingredients - Max capacity of the bowl
The plastic cup is only used for measuring rice and not the water (except when cooking
1 cup of rice).
The graduated markings on the inside of the bowl are given in liters and cups, these
are used for measuring the amount of water when cooking rice – Fig. 7. If cooking
other foods, such as pasta, follow the quantities in the recipes.
The plastic cup provided with your appliance is for measuring rice, refer to the table
below for the quantity of rice required for the number of servings. 1 level measuring
cup of rice weighs 5.5 oz.
The table below gives a guide to cooking white rice. For best results, we recommend
using regular rice rather than instant-type rice which tends to result in a stickier rice
and may adhere to the base. With other types of rice, such as brown or wild rice, the
quantities of water need adjustment (see the table below).
To cook 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large portion), use 1 measuring cup
of white rice and then add 1 1/2 measuring cup of water. With some types of rice it
is normal for a little rice to stick on the base when cooking 1 cup of rice.
The maximum quantity of water + rice should not exceed the 10 cup mark inside the
bowl – Fig. 7.
Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking.

* The rice cooker will automatically determine the exact cooking time depending on the quantity
of water and rice placed in the bowl.
N O T E : When using Arborio risotto rice for rice pudding or dessert puddings follow
the proportions in the recipe book as more water is needed. When cooking rice
pudding, use Arborio risotto rice, as it cooks quicker and gives better results. Follow
the instructions in the recipes. Take care when cooking rice in milk as it can froth up
and boil up through the lid.
To cook rice
The cooking times given in the tables and recipes are only approximate and for your
guidance.
Place the appliances on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface away from water
splashes and any other sources of heat.
Pour the required quantity of rice into the bowl using the measuring cup provided.
Then fill with cold water up to the corresponding “CUP” mark printed in the bowl
(See cooking guide) – Fig. 7.
Close the lid.
NOTE: Always add the rice first and then water otherwise you will have too much water.
Check that the appliance is plugged in. Briefly press the “rice cooking” key – Fig. 8.
The red “rice cooking” light flashes for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds the light remains
steady and the cooking automatically starts.
After each use empty and clean the condensation collector.
The rice cooker itself determines the exact cooking time depending on the quantity of water
and ingredients placed in the bowl (see cooking table for a guide to times). When the volume
of water has been absorbed by the rice, the appliance stops the cooking process automatically
and switches to the “Keep warm” mode (the orange “Keep warm” light comes on).
Rice cooking with delayed start
This is the only cooking mode for which programming a delayed start is possible.
It is possible to delay the time the rice starts cooking.
Select the “Rice cooking” mode. When the ingredients have been placed in the bowl
and the appliance plugged in, briefly press the “Rice cooking” key – Fig. 8. The red
“Rice cooking” light flashes.
