Do not leave the rice cooker switched on too long after the actual cooking process has finished, as
this will cause the congee to turn gluey.
steaming
1 Measure 3 cups of water with the measuring cup and pour the water into the inner pot.
The amount of water varies according to the quantity of food being steamed.
It takes approx. 8 minutes for 3 cups of water to come to the boil.
2 Put the food to be steamed on a plate or in the steam tray.
To ensure even steaming, spread out the food evenly and do not pile it up.
3 Put the steam tray in the inner pot.
When you combine steaming and rice cooking, make sure you measure out an amount of rice that
leaves enough room for the steam tray. The steamed food will be ready when the rice cooking
process is finished.
4 If you use a separate plate, put it in the steam tray.
5 Follow steps 7 to 10 in section 'Cooking rice'.
The cook light/rice light goes on and the steaming process starts.
,
The steamed food is ready when the rice cooking process is finished.
,
6 Open the lid and carefully remove the steamed food from the plate or steam tray. Use a
kitchen glove or a cloth, as the plate and the steam tray are very hot.
Beware of the hot steam.
7 To end the steaming process, pull up the control lever, switch off the mains and remove the
mains plug from the wall socket (Fig. 14).
keeping warm
This mode allows you to keep your rice warm for a longer period of time.
When the rice cooking process is finished, the rice cooker automatically switches to the keep-warm
mode. The cook light/rice light goes out and the keep-warm light goes on.
We advise you to keep rice warm for not more than 12 hours so as to preserve its taste.
The cook light/rice light may go on occasionally to indicate that the temperature inside the rice
cooker has become too low and the heating element has switched on to heat up the rice cooker to
the right keep-warm temperature.
To end the keep-warm mode, pull up the control lever, switch off the mains and remove the mains
plug from the wall socket.
The congee cooking process does not have a keep-warm mode.
cleaning
Unplug the rice cooker before you clean it.
Wait until the rice cooker has cooled down sufficiently before you clean it.
To protect the non-stick coating of the inner pot, do not:
- use the inner pot for washing dishes;
- put vinegar in the pot.
1 Take the steam tray and the inner pot out of the body of the appliance.
2 Pull the steam vent cap upwards to detach it from the outer lid. (Fig. 19)
3 To take the steam vent cap apart, twist and turn to unlock (Fig. 20).
4 To reattach, push the two halves onto each other and twist and turn to close.
