Caution: When removing the lid, lift away from your body as you may get
burned with the hot steam.
12. Unplug the unit when finished.
Important Tips:
• Do not keep small amounts of rice in the keep warm cycle for extended
periods
of time.
• During cooking, a thin crust may develop on the rice at the bottom of
the bowl. If you do not like rice with a crust, you can easily peel it off and
discard it.
• Use the plastic serving scoop (or a wooden spoon) to stir and remove
rice. Do not use metal utensils that can scratch the nonstick cooking bowl.
PREPARING SOUPS AND STEWS
1. Before first use, wash the cooking bowl, glass lid, serving scoop and rice
measuring cup in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry well.
2. Place unit on a flat, stable surface.
Note: Select recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less. Use only boneless
meats and poultry that are cut into cubes no larger than 1
necessary to brown the meats before cooking. As the soup or stew begins
to cook, steam will come out of the vent in the lid. Do not place the cooker
directly under your cabinets.
Note: When cooking rice or pasta in the soup, allow for additional liquid in
the recipe.
Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable
nonstick cooking bowl provided.
3. Combine meats, vegetables and liquids in the cooking bowl. Stir with a
wooden
or plastic spoon until ingredients are blended well.
Note: Since most frozen vegetables cook very quickly, it is best to add them
at the end of the cooking time. Stir them into the soup or stew and allow
the mixture to cook an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
Caution: Do not fill cooking bowl higher than the MAX line on the cooking
bowl.
4. Before placing the cooking bowl into the rice cooker, be sure the heating
plate and outside surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Do not
let loose particles fall into the cooker.
5. Insert cooking bowl into the cooker. You might have to turn it slightly to
the left or right to ensure proper contact with the heating plate.
6. Place the lid on the cooker.
Note: Always keep the lid on the cooker while cooking.
7. Plug into a standard electrical outlet. The WARM indicator light comes
on.
8. Press down the ON switch. The COOK indicator light comes on and
cooking begins. As the soup or stew cooks, steam may come out
through the steam vent on the lid.
Caution: Do not put your hand over the steam vent as you may get burned
with the
hot steam.
9. Set your kitchen timer for desired cooking time.
Note: The ON switch on the cooker is not intended to be an indicator of
