Using your Kenwood Rice Cooker
1. Use the measuring cup provided to measure the desired quantity of rice.
As a guide one cup of rice is sufficient for one person, but this will vary
according to individual tastes.
Fill the cup with rice levelling the top.
2. Thoroughly wash the rice in several changes of clean water and drain.
Failure to do so may cause poor results and/or a build up of steam
within the appliance. Do not wash the rice in the inner bowl as you may damage it.
3. Transfer the rice to the inner bowl and level the surface of the rice. Add sufficient cold water to the
corresponding level marked on the bowl e.g. to cook 6 cups of rice, place the washed rice into the inner bowl
and then fill with water up to the 6 cup level.
Minimum capacity is 2 cups.
You may find that for your own personal taste you need to slightly adjust the amount of water added. For a
softer rice add a little more water, and for a firmer rice a little less water.
4. Transfer the inner bowl to the rice cooker ensuring that there is no rice or any moisture on the outside of the
bowl.
5. Cover with the lid, ensuring that the vent hole in the lid is situated away from the operator.
6. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the power supply. Depress the control lever to the COOK position and
the cook light will glow.
7. Once the rice is cooked, the appliance will automatically switch to the WARM position and the keep warm light
will glow. Leave the appliance on this setting for at least 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
8. Remove the lid and use the spatula provided to fluff up the rice which is then ready to eat. Replace the lid as
quickly as possible. Consume the stirred rice within 1 hour. Small quantities i.e. 2 to 4 cups of rice should be
consumed immediately after stirring.
9. If the rice is to be kept for a longer period of time, then it should be left and only stirred prior to consumption.
THE KEEP WARM PERIOD SHOULD NOT EXCEED 2 HOURS. During this time the lid should not be lifted.
10. Should the inner bowl be lifted whilst the cooker is in operation, the appliance will automatically switch to
warm. To re-commence cooking, replace the bowl and reset the control button to cook.
11. After use, switch off at the power point and remove the plug from the power supply.
To Cook Vegetables
1.
Pour the required quantity of water into the inner bowl. The amount of water affects the length of steaming
time and you should refer to the list for guidance.
2.
Place the food to be steamed in the steaming basket and place the steaming basket in the top of the inner
bowl. Vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and peeled as required.
3.
Cover with the lid and switch on the appliance, as directed for cooking rice.
4.
Once all the water has steamed away, the appliance will automatically switch to warm and the light will glow.
5.
When removing the steaming basket, hold the handles using heat resistant gloves.
6.
It is possible to cook rice and to steam foods simultaneously. You will need to experiment to establish
appropriate amounts of water and cooking time for various combinations.
Guide to Steam Times
The amount of water poured into the inner bowl determines the steaming time. As an approximate guide, 150 ml (1
cup) of water provides 15 minutes steaming, 300 ml (2 cups) provides 30 minutes steaming etc.
