Precautions
• The appliance does not function if the pan is not
in the cooker.
• Always keep the bottom of the pan clean and dry.
Any res- idues between the bottom of the pan and
the heater will cause the cooker to malfunction.
• Do not attempt to press the switch by force if the
switch button cannot be pressed in the cooking
position. The switch normally remains in that po-
sition when the pan is not in the cooker or just
after cooking has been com- pleted.
• The appliance should be placed on a stable sur-
face. Do not expose to water, steam or direct heat.
• Do not cover the lid with anything when the rice
cooker is in use.
• Do not use the pan directly on open fire.
• Do not immerse the cooker in water and avoid
putting the cooker near fire.
How to cook rice
1. Measure rice with the measuring cup.
• Wash rice in another bowl until water is rel-
atively clear. Bran may give an uppleasant
odour to cooked rice. Wash rice thoroughly and
EN
quickly to effectively remove the bran.
2. Caution! Do not fill rice and water over the 30
cups (or 5.4L) that marked in the inner pan to
avoid spillage.
Note: The markings represent the amount of
water to be added in relation to the amount of
cups rice to be cooked. E.g. If you add 20 cups
(or 3.6L) of rice in the inner pan, fill water until
the marking "20". For more or less rice, fill water
according to the markings into the inner pan.
3. Wipe dry & place the pan in the rice cooker. En-
sure the pan is directly in contact with the heat-
ing plate by turning it slightly form the right to
the left until it fits properly.
• Wipe dry the outside of the pan before use. A
wet pan may cause cracking noise while cook-
ing and may damage the unit.

• Hendi supplies this cooker with an additional
burnt proof griddle that should be put at the bot-
tom of the pan and avoids sticking of rice.
4. Close the lid until it clicks. If
the lid is not closed securely
the cooking result will be
effected.
5. Attach the power cord
to the cooker and then
connect it to the power
supply. Press down the
switch. The red 'Cooking' light will light to indi-
cate the start of the cooking process.
6. When the rice is ready, the switch will pop up.
'The Keep Warm' indicator will light up to indi-
cate that the 'Keep Warm function' has started.
7. After the switch button
pops up: leave the lid
for at least 15 minutes
on the appliance to
steam the rice. The rice
will be fluffier.
8. Press the button for opening the lid and then
open the lid.
9. Scoop and mix the rice well with the supplied
scoop or a wooden or plastic scoop. Do not use
metal scoop.
10. After taking some rice, close the lid and keep
the rice warm. If you want the rice to cool down
a little, open the lid and unplug the power cord
from the power outlet to leave the rice for cool-
ing in the inner pan.
