3. USE OF THE APPLIANCE
A. ASSEMBLY
Before using the Cuisinart® rice and cereal cooker for the first time,
wipe the housing of the appliance with a damp cloth. Wash the lid, the
steamer basket, the cooking pot, the measuring cup and the spatula in
warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Read the section on “cleaning
and storage” for more information.
B. OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
The levels printed on the walls of the pot refer only to cooking rice. The
word “cup” refers to the measuring cup.

COOKING RICE, CEREALS AND PULSES
Measure about 50 g of rice per person for an accompaniment and
100 g of rice for a main course. Measure the amount of rice using the
glass measuring cup and poor into the pot.
Add water to the corresponding mark (e.g.: 4 cups rice = level 4 for
water).
The markings in litres refer to amounts of water.
Put On/Off switch into the “I” position and press the control at the
base: the red indicator light for the “Cook” function will light.
The cooking begins…

Automatic Warm
When cooking has finished, the rice cooker will detect the total water
absorbed and automatically switches to “warm”. The control returns to
the high position and the “warm” indicator light goes on. The rice is,
thus, always ready to eat. The rice cooker remains in the “warm”
setting until the On/Off switch is put into the “O” position. It is
possible to activate the “warm” setting by raising the control and this
can be used to reheat food.
