• The rice cooker will calculate the exact cooking time automatically, depending on the amount of
water and ingredients placed in the bowl.
• During the cooking process, it is normal for the lid to rise up slightly and for the water to bubble
around the edges.
Automatic keep warm function
• At the end of the cooking process, the rice cooker detects that the water has been totally absorbed
and changes automatically to the “keep warm” function. Then, the control button moves up to the
higher position and the orange “keep warm” indicator lights up - Fig 10.
• The food stays warm, ready to be served. The rice cooker stays in the “keep warm” position while
the cooker is plugged in. Food left in the “keep warm” position should not be left to dry out and it
must be stirred to prevent it from burning or sticking to the bowl.
For best results serve rice within 30 minutes. It is recommended to serve the rice as soon as pos-
sible after cooking.
• Manual operation. The “keep warm” function can be started by pushing up the control button.
Steaming in the basket (for vegetables, fish and fruit)
• As a general rule, you will need 100-150 ml of water for each 15 to 20 minutes of steaming time,
except when cooking Brussels sprouts, potatoes and broccoli - Fig 13.
In these cases, add 500 ml of cold water.
• Place the steaming basket in the bowl - Fig 14.
• We recommend there is always a space of at least 2 cm between the water level and the base of
the steaming basket - Fig 15.
• Place the ingredients in the basket ensuring that they are not packed too tightly and that some steam
holes are left clear otherwise the food may cook unevenly. Cover the bowl with the lid - Fig 16.
• Proceed as instructed on page 8 in section 'To start cooking'. The rice cooker will automatically de-
termine the steaming time depending on the quantity of water used and switch to the "keep warm"
function at the end of cooking. To manually interrupt steaming push up the control button.
End of the cooking process
When the food is ready to serve:
• Take the lid off. Caution: escaping steam is very hot - Fig 12.
• Safety note: The body of the appliance is cooltouch. There is no risk of burns from touching
the outside of the body of the rice cooker.
Caution: the rice bowl will be hot. Always use oven gloves to remove the bowl.
• Serve with the spoon provided with the cooker and replace the lid. Never use metallic accessories
to stir or serve the rice.
• Food left in the rice cooker will stay warm to be served a second time.
• Switch off the appliance - Fig 11.
• Unplug the cooker from the mains.
• Remove the steaming basket using oven gloves as it will be hot.
Tips for better results with your rice cooker
• Measure the rice and wash it in a sieve under running water.
• Make sure the rice is spread over the entire surface of the bowl so that it cooks evenly.
• Cooking times will vary depending on the amount and type of rice cooked.
• When cooking small quantities, a thin layer of rice might form on the bottom of the bowl. Greasing
with half a teaspoon of cooking oil can help prevent this layer from forming but it is not always
possible to avoid.
