Rice Cooker 4 EN 1 GB2 5/01/07 9:07 Page 5 To cook rice The cooking times given in the tables and recipes are only approximate and for your guidance. · Place the appliances on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface away from water splashes and any other sources of heat. · Pour the required quantity of rice into the bowl using the measuring cup provided. Then fill with cold water up to the corresponding "CUP" mark printed in the bowl (See cooking guide) ­ Fig. Note: Always add the rice first otherwise you will have too much water. After 5 seconds the light remains steady and the cooking automatically starts. · After each use empty the condensation collector. The rice cooker itself determines the exact cooking time depending on the quantity of water and ingredients placed in the bowl (see cooking table for a guide to times). When the volume of water has been absorbed by the rice, the appliance stops the cooking process automatically and passes into the "Keep warm" mode (the orange "Keep warm" light comes on). GB Rice cooking with delayed start · This is the only cooking mode for which · programming a delayed start is possible. When the ingredients have been placed in the bowl and the appliance plugged in, briefly press the "Rice cooking" key ­ Fig. 8. When the "rice cooking" light flashes, press the "plus" key ­ Fig. 10 to select a cooking time which must elapse before cooking completes. For instance: it is 1 p. m, I would like my rice cooked at 8 p. m, I have to set "7H" on the time key and wait the "rice cooking" light remains steady. · You can delay cooking for 9 hours maximum. Some recommendations for best results when cooking rice · Measure out the rice and rinse it thoroughly under running water in a sieve for a long time (except for risotto rice such as Arborio rice which should not be rinsed). Then place the rice in the bowl together with the corresponding quantity of water. · Make sure that the rice is well distributed around the whole surface of the bowl, in order to allow even cooking. Allow about half a teaspoon of salt for 4 cups of rice, but you can adjust this to your personal taste. Remember your Rice Cooker uses less water than when boiling rice so take care not to add too much salt. If using stock cubes, take care not to season with too much salt as they have a salty taste. [. . . ] · To avoid any risk of corrosion, do not pour vinegar into the bowl. · The colour of the bowl surface may change after using for the first time or after longer use. This change in colour is due to the action of steam and water and does not have any effect on the use of the Electronic Rice Cooker, nor is it dangerous for your health. It is perfectly safe to continue using it. Cleaning and care of the other parts of the appliance · Clean the outside of the Electronic Rice Cooker, the inside of the lid and the cord with a damp cloth and wipe dry. [. . . ]
