Installation and first use
For cooking rice:

pot contacts well with the hot plate.

8. Unplug the power plug after use to reduce power consumption.
How to steam:
1. Add enough water into the inner pan. Place the inner pan into the unit, making sure the surface of the pan is
wiped dry and placed properly inside the cooker.

lid.
3. Plug in to supply. Press switch lever to "RICE COOKING" to start steaming.

periodically. When the food is cooked, turn the unit OFF by unplugging from supply outlet.

add water). Proceed to instructions 2 and 3 and unplug unit when rice is warmed.
Cleaning and maintenance
1. After each use, wash the inner pan, the steaming plate, the lid, the measuring cup and the spatula in warm and
soapy water. Do not use scouring powder or brush for washing. Avoid deforming or denting the bottom of the inner
pan.

minutes. Scour the cooked rice using the spatula.
