Sunbeam RC4700 - Manual (Page 10)

1. Before using your Rice Perfect for the
first time wash the cooking pan, lid,
measuring cup and serving spoon in
warm soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
2. Using the measuring cup provided,
measure out the required quantity of rice.
NOTE:
1 level cup measure = 180mls.
1 cup of uncooked rice = 2 cup
of cooked rice (approximately).
3. Using a sieve, wash rice thoroughly under
cold water before cooking. This removes
excess starch which helps to achieve
fluffier rice. Make sure water runs clear
before use.
NOTE: A fine mesh sieve is the most
effective way to wash the rice. Run water
through rice until water runs clear not
milky.
4. Ensuring that the exterior of the cooking
pan is clean and dry, place it inside the
heating vessel.
5. Place the washed rice in the removable
pan. Add cold water to the cup level
indicated on the inside of the removable
pan or quantity of water specified. See
cooking charts on pages 11, 12 and 13.
6. Replace the lid.
7. Insert the plug into a 230-240 volt AC
power outlet and turn the power on. (The
“KEEP WARM” light will illuminate).
8. Depress the automatic control lever to
“COOK”, to begin the cooking cycle.
The “COOK” light will illuminate.
9. When cooking is complete, your Rice
Perfect will automatically switch to
“KEEP WARM” mode and the “KEEP
WARM” light will illuminate.
10. Allow rice to stand in the “KEEP WARM”
mode for 5-10 minutes for small
quantities and approximately 10-15
minutes for larger quantities, with the lid
on. DO NOT use metal utensils as these
will scratch the non-stick coating. A
plastic spoon is supplied.
11. The “KEEP WARM” cycle will continue
until the power is switched off. If keeping
the rice warm, stir, then replace lid. Rice
can be kept warm in the Rice Perfect for
up to 2 hours. After two hours rice should
be refrigerated for storage, if required.
NOTE: During operating – do not remove
the lid as this may affect cooking results.
Do not interfere with the automatic
control lever. Do not keep rice in the
cooker for extended periods of time on
“KEEP WARM” mode as the rice
becomes dry and the quality deteriorates.
