4 . ADVICE FROM CHEFS

• Cooking time for steaming may vary slightly depending on the
size of the food . The amount of water will therefore need to be
adjusted .
• If the steaming ends before the food is cooked properly, add
some cold water to the inner pot, replace the food and cover .
• Smaller foods cook more quickly than larger. We recommend
that you cook food of the same size together for even cooking .
• Carefully wash the rice several times in water and drain. Coo-
king will be perfect .
• At the end of cooking, when the rice is done and the "warm"
setting is on, stir the rice and leave in the automatic cooker a
few minutes longer for perfect cooking .
• To flavour and add taste to the preparations, add onion, thyme,
bay leaves, cloves when cooking white haricot beans, lentils,
etc .

6 . CLEANING AND STORAGE

When you have finished cooking, put the On/Off switch into the
"O" position, unplug the cord and allow the appliance to cool
completely before cleaning .
• The pot, steamer basket and lid may be washed in warm, soapy
water or in the dishwasher .
• If food sticks to the sides, fill the pot and bowl with warm,
soapy water and allow to soak before cleaning . Do not use scou-
ring pads or abrasive soaps that could damage the coating .
• To clean the appliance housing, use a damp cloth and a little
soft detergent . Do not use scouring pads or abrasive soaps .
DO NOT IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE HOUSING IN WATER OR ANY
OTHER LIQUID .
