Steaming in the basket (for vegetables, fish and fruit)
• Pour water into the bowl as stated in the recipe. As a general guide you need
100 ml - 150 ml water for 15 to 20 minutes steam cooking, except for cooking
brussel sprouts, potatoes and broccoli. In this case, add 500 ml cold water.
• Place the steam basket in the bowl.
• Add the ingredients to the bowl but do not pack food together too tightly as
overfilling the basket may cause food to cook unevenly. Put the lid on.
Cooking
Starting the cooking
• Press downwards on the control switch, the red cooking indicator illuminates
showing that cooking has begun – Fig. 4.
• When cooking rice, the Automatic Rice Cooker will automatically determine the
exact cooking time, depending on the quantity of water and the ingredients
placed in the bowl.
Automatic keep warm
• At the end of cooking, the Automatic Rice Cooker detects the total absorption of
the water and automatically passes to the “keep warm” function. At that
moment, the control switch comes up to its top position and the “keep warm”
indicator lights up in orange – Fig. 5. The Automatic Rice Cooker remains in
“keep warm” position for as long as the appliance is switched on. The keep warm
period for rice should not exceed 1 hour. Smaller quantities should be used
sooner.
• Use the spatula to fluff up the rice before serving.
End of cooking
• Remove the lid, tilting it slightly so any condensed water drips into the bowl.
Warning: the escaping steam is

.
• Serve with the spoon provided with the appliance and put the lid back.
• The food left in the Automatic Rice Cooker remains hot for a possible second helping.
After keeping warm, discard any left over rice.
• Take the plug out of the mains socket.
• Use the spatula to fluff up the rice before serving.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the bowl, the lid and steam basket
• Use hot water, washing up liquid and a sponge to clean the bowl, the lid and the
steam basket – Fig. 8. Scouring powders and metal sponges are not
recommended.
• If food has stuck to the bottom, allow the bowl to soak for a while before
washing it.
• Dry the bowl carefully.
Warning: if the bowl has
been placed incorrectly in
the appliance, cooking will
not begin. During cooking
hot steam will escape from
the steam vent.
When serving, you can
remove the cooking bowl
thanks to the carrying
handles - Fig.7, and put it
on the table.
