How to cook rice
1. Use the Rice Cooker measuring cup provided to measure the required quantity of rice (refer to
cooking tables). Always measure level cups, not heaped (Fig 1.)
2. Place the rice into a separated bowl and wash with cold water to remove any excess starch.
The rice is ready for cooking when water runs clear from the rice.
3. Ensure the exterior of the removable cooking bowl is clean before placing it in the housing (this
will ensure proper contact with the inner cooking surface).
4. Add the washed rice to the removable cooking bowl, ensuring rice is spread evenly across the
bottom of the bowl and hot heaped to one side (Fig 2).

5. Add water using the following ratios:
White Rice = 1 cup water: 1 cup rice
Brown Rice= 11⁄2 cups water: 1 cup rice
6. Place the glass lid into position.
7. Plug into a 120 volt power outlet and then switch the power on at the power outlet. The ‘Keep
Warm’ light will illuminate.
8. To commence cooking, press the Selector Control to ‘Cooker’. The ‘Cooker’ light will illuminate.
9. When cooking is complete, the Rice Cooker will automatically switch to the ‘Keep Warm’ setting.
The ‘Keep Warm’ light will illuminate.
10. Open the lid and turn the rice over with the serving spoon provided. Replace the lid and allow
the rice to stand for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows any excess moisture to be
absorbed, resulting in a fluffier rice texture.
Note: Rice can be kept in the automatic ‘Keep Warm’ setting once you plug the item. To stop
‘Keep Warm’ setting, switch off at the power outlet and then unplug the cord. Do not remove the
glass lid until ready to serve (except for when turning over rice after cooking is complete or as
suggested in the recipes).
Important:
Always place liquid into the removable cooking bowl, or be ready to add oil, butter or margarine,
before depressing the Selector Control to the ‘Cooker’ setting. Never try to force the Selector
Control in stay in the ‘Cooker’ setting after it has automatically switched to the ‘Keep Warm’
setting. Do not interfere with the automatic Selector Control during operation. To prevent
scratching the non-stick surface of the removable cooking bowl, always use wooden or plastic
utensils.
