Press the control lever (4) down to start the
cooking process.
When the cooking process is finished, the
cook light will go out and the keep warm
light will come on automatically.
Remove the lid and stir the rice. For the
best results, do this just after the keep
warm function light comes on. Stirring the
rice with the rice spoon (16) allows the
steam to escape. This will give fluffier rice.
The rice spoon (16) can be stored on the
unit in the spoon holder (17).
During use water droplets will go into the
condensation trap (18). This must be
emptied after use.
Steaming
The steaming function may only be used in
combination with the rice cooking function.
Measure out the required amount of rice (as
above) and ensure there is enough room for
the steamer tray (14) on the top of the
cooking bowl.
Add the food to be steamed into the
steamer tray. Ensure the food is spread out
evenly to ensure even steaming. Do not pile
up the food.
Place the steaming tray into the unit and
close the unit's lid.
Continue with the rice cooking process (as
described above). Once the rice is cooked
the food should be steamed. Remove the
lid very carefully and remove the steam tray.
Use a kitchen glove or a cloth as the steam
tray (14) will be very hot.
Be aware of the hot steam escaping.
Trying to steam too much food will result in
the food not been adequately steamed.
