Cooking Rice
WARNING: During operation, steam will come out of the steam vent. Do not hold your
hands, arms and face over the appliance during operation. Do not place any objects (e.g.
clothes) on the upper cover of the appliance during operation. Beware of hot condensate,
steam, and hot food, when opening the upper cover, or when serving hot dishes. Before
connecting the appliance to the power supply and switching on, always ensure that the ap-
pliance is assembled correctly and the upper cover is closed properly. During operation and
shortly thereafter, do not touch the hot pot or the interior of the oven compartment with your
hands or heat- or moisture-sensitive objects.
Only the “Rice” function sets the cooking time automatically according to your selection of
rice and water quantity. After cooking, the rice will be stewed for another 5 minutes, shown
in a count-down. Thus, you cannot enter a cooking time but control the cooking time via the
used quantity of water.
1. Weight out the requested amount of rice. A measuring cup of rice (full to the brim) is ca.
150 g. Do not use more than 800 g (ca. 5.5 measuring cups).
2. Wash the rice and make sure to wash it clean. Use a different container for this to avoid
scuffling the non-stick coating of the pot.
3. Put the cleaned rice into the pot of the multi-functional cooker and fill with water to the
corresponding water level. Wipe dry the external surface and the upper brim of the pot.
Example: If you are cooking 3 measuring cups of rice, water should be added to level 3.
The water quantity can be increased or decreased reasonably according to your
individual like. But NEVER fill in more water, than up to the maximum level 5.5!
WARNING: It is essential to ensure that the upper brim of the pot is clean.
Otherwise the lid will not seal sufficiently and water could run into the oven compartment.
4. Ensure that there are no foreign objects in the oven compartment of the cooker and the
interior of the oven compartment is clean. Then insert the pot.
5. Ensure that the lid of the pot is inserted properly in the upper cover of the Multi - Cook,
(See: Re-assembling the Appliance) and then close the upper cover. A click sounds if the
upper cover is closed correctly.
6. Connect the appliance to the power supply and press START to switch ON the appliance.
7. Press the MENU button until the arrow on the display points to the function “Rice”.
8. Press the START button to start the selected function. The operation indicator lights up and
two dashes are shown on the display. The appliance will cook the rice until the complete
amount of water is absorbed, still showing two dashes on the display.
After that, the stewing function is entered automatically, with the display showing the
remaining stewing time in a count-down. After the stewing time expired, the appliance
enters the warm-keeping mode automatically. To prevent the rice from agglomerating and
reducing its taste, it is best to serve the rice within 30 minutes.
9. After use, press the KEEP WARM/OFF button to switch OFF the appliance. Then unplug
the appliance.
