Rice/Grain - Redmond RMC-M110E Manual Del Usuario

Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth and rinse the bowl. Leave to dry. Clean
the appliance completely before first use to avoid bad smells (see Care of the
Appliance).
After transporting or storing at low temperatures, keep the appliance at room
temperature for at least 2 hours before switching it on.
Place the appliance on a hard, even, horizontal surface so that the steam from
the valve will not come into contact with wallpaper, decorative coverings,
electronic devices or other items or materials which could be damaged by high
humidity or temperatures.
Before use, make sure there are no chips or other defects on the outside or
visible inside parts of the multicooker. There should be nothing caught between
the bowl and the heating element.
II. USING THE MULTICOOKER
Opening/Closing the Lid
The lid seals hermetically, allowing high pressure to build up inside the pressure
and multicooker. When the pressure is higher than atmospheric pressure, the
lid locks automatically. If, when cooking is complete, the lid does not open
easily, this means that the pressure inside is still too high. Open the steam-
release valve and wait for the pressure to fall.
To close the lid, release it and turn the locking lever clockwise as far as it will go.
To open the lid, turn the locking lever counterclockwise as far as it will go and
open the lid with the handle.
NOTE: Before opening the lid, make sure the steam-release valve is open and
no steam is escaping from it.
The appliance heats up when it is working. Do not touch the metal part of the
lid during and just after cooking. Always use the handle to open the lid.
Do not lift the appliance by the lid handle. Use the handles on the side of the
appliance to lift and carry it.
Steam-Release Valve
The REDMOND RMC-M110E pressure and multicooker is equipped with a steam-
release valve on the lid. By switching the valve switch to HIGH PRESSURE — valve
closed or NORMAL PRESSURE — valve open, the appliance can be used in two
different ways: with the valve closed, it works as a pressure cooker; with the
valve open it works as a multicooker.
The clearance in the switch of the steam-release valve is not a defect.
After cooking under pressure, open the steam-release valve to normalise the
pressure inside. When cooking dishes that do not require much liquid (pilaf,
etc.), the steam-release valve can be opened as soon as cooking is over. If liquids
or purées are being cooked, let the appliance cool down for 5-10 minutes before
opening the valve. Otherwise hot liquid may be released together with the
steam.
NOTE: When opening the steam-release valve during or after cooking, there
may be a sudden release of hot steam. Be careful.
Time Delay
When selecting an automatic cooking mode, you can set the Time Delay function
from 1 minute to 24 hours in 1-minute intervals (default time delay — 2 hours).
1. After selecting the mode and cooking time, press the "TIMER / KEEP WARM"
button. The Time Delay time will appear on the display. The hour indica-
tor will flash.
2. Press the button to set the required hours, and then minutes (press the
"TIMER / KEEP WARM" button again). To change the time quickly, press
and hold down the "+" or "–" button.
3. A few seconds after setting the time delay, the figures on the display will
stop flashing and the countdown timer will begin.

4. To cancel the settings, press the "REHEAT/CANCEL" button.
The Time Delay function is not available in FRY, POPCORN or BAKE, or when
using the reheat function.
Avoid using the Time Delay function when the recipe involves ingredients with
a short shelf-life.
When setting the time delay, remember that the selected mode and the
cooking-time countdown only start when the appliance has reached the required
temperature and pressure.
If the timer is set at 24 hours, the minutes cannot be changed.
Keep Warm
When a cooking mode is complete (as indicated by a signal and the mode in-
dicator light going out), the Keep Warm function begins (the display shows the
keep warm time in 1-minute intervals). This function can keep the temperature
of a dish at 60-80°С for 8 hours.
The Keep Warm function can be interrupted by pressing the "REHEAT/CANCEL"
button: the indicator light will go out and the appliance will switch to standby.
If required, the Keep Warm function can be switched off by pressing the "TIMER
/ KEEP WARM" button (the "REHEAT/CANCEL" indicator light goes out). To switch
the keep-warm function back on, press the "TIMER / KEEP WARM" button again.
Reheat
This will heat cold food to 60-80°С and keep it warm for 8 hours.
1. Place the food in the bowl and place inside the appliance, making sure
that it is straight and fits securely onto the heating element.
2. Close and lock the lid. Set the steam-release valve to HIGH PRESSURE.
Plug the appliance in.
3. Press the "REHEAT/CANCEL" button. The indicator will light up and the
reheat countdown will appear on the display in 1-minute intervals.
4. To switch off the reheat function, press the "REHEAT/CANCEL" button
(the indicator light will go out).
Appliance Protection System
The REDMOND RMC-M110E pressure and multicooker is equipped with a mul-
tiple protection system. When cooking under pressure, if the temperature or
pressure inside the cooker exceed the required level, the cooking process will
be delayed until the levels return to normal. If this does not happen within a
certain time, the appliance will stop working.
The appliance is also equipped with additional overheating protection in FRY
and POPCORN modes. If the appliance overheats it will stop cooking and should
cool down completely (approximately 15 minutes) before you can use either of
these modes again. If "HH" appears on the display in FRY or POPCORN mode, it
means the appliance is still too hot and the locking mode is on. This does not
apply to other cooking modes.
Cooking Under Pressure
When the steam-release valve is closed, the appliance is hermetically sealed
and high pressure builds up inside as it heats up. Water is boiled into steam at
over 100°С and cooking time is more than halved. This, in conjunction with a
restricted oxygen supply, means the food retains as many of its nutrients as
possible.
General Rules for Cooking Under Pressure:
• There must be water or some other liquid in the pressure and
multicooker bowl (at least 2 measuring glasses).
• Food cannot be fried in oil under pressure. If required, chopped
vegetables can be lightly fried in a small quantity of oil or stock on the
bottom of the pressure and multicooker in FRY mode with the lid open.
Then add the remaining ingredients, add liquid, close the lid and
continue cooking under pressure.
• The pressure and multicooker bowl should be filled to no more than
4/5 and no less than 1/5 full. When boiling food that swells or forms a
froth in hot water (spinach, rice, pulses, pasta, dumplings, etc.), do not
fill the bowl more than 3/5 full to avoid clogging the steam valve.
REMEMBER: the appliance can break down if this is not done.
General Procedure for Using Automatic Programmes
1. Prepare (measure out) the required ingredients and place them evenly in
the bowl.
2. Place the bowl inside the appliance, making sure that it is straight and
fits securely onto the heating element.
3. Set the steam-release valve to the required setting:
• HIGH PRESSURE — pressure cooker (for RICE/GRAIN, SOUP, BOIL, JAM/
DESSERT, PILAF, OATMEAL, BEANS, and GAME modes);
• NORMAL PRESSURE — multicooker (for FRY, BAKE, and POPCORN
modes).
4. Plug the appliance in.
5. Select the cooking mode and product by pressing the relevant button (for
the STEW and STEAM modes). The indicator lights up and the default
cooking time starts to flash on the display (the cooking time does not
include the time the appliance takes to reach the required temperature
and pressure).
6. Press the "COOK TIME" button to select the required cooking speed ("FAST",
"NORMAL", "SLOW").
7. To set the time delay, press the "TIMER / KEEP WARM" button. Use the "+"
and "–" buttons to set the time.
8. A few seconds after the setting is made, the display will stop flashing and
start to work in the set mode. When the required temperature and pressure
is reached, the countdown timer for the mode begins. There is no count-
down timer in POPCORN mode.
9. If not required, switch off the Keep Warm function in advance.
10. If you are cooking under pressure, before opening the lid, carefully open
the steam-release valve to normalise the pressure inside.
11. To cancel all settings or interrupt the cooking process, press the "REHEAT/
CANCEL" button at any time.
