Before using for the fi rst time
Before the appliance is used for the fi rst
time, remove the stickers from the rice pan

Measuring cup
The measuring cup (Cup) contains two
scales. One shows the content in millilitres
(ml), the other one in ‘cups’. The maximum
content (180 ml or 1 cup) is reached if the
cup is completely full.
For cooking rice, only a full cup measure is
required.
Rice pan with CUP and L-scales
∙ The CUP scale is suitable for measuring
rice with the measuring cup (Cup)
provided:
∙ Use the measuring cup to put the desired
quantity of rice into the rice pan (between
2 and 10 cups).
∙ Fill the rice pan with water up to the
appropriate CUP scale marking on inside
the pan. If, for example, 4 cups of rice
have been put in, the water level should
reach the 4-mark on the CUP scale inside
the pan.
∙ The L-scale permits measuring the
amount of rice using any standard
measuring cup:
∙ Fill the measuring cup with 0.6 -1.8 l of
rice.
∙ Fill the rice pan with water up to the
appropriate L-scale marking inside the
pan. If, for example, 1 L of rice has been
put in, the water level should reach up
to the 1.0 mark on the L-scale inside the
pan.
Temperature control
The appliance uses an integral temperature
control. Once the water has completely
evaporated during the cooking process, the
unit automatically switches to the keep-warm
function.
