 Press the COOK/QUICK button (Fig. 5).

The cook light goes on and the cooking process starts.

You can switch to quick cooking within the first 5 minutes of the cooking process by pressing 

the COOK/QUICK button twice.

The display counts down in minutes (10, 9, 8 etc.) during the last 10 minutes of the cooking 

process. 

When the cooking process is finished, you will hear a beep. The cook or quick light goes out 

and the keep-warm/reheat light starts to burn continuously to indicate that the rice cooker 

has automatically switched to the keep-warm mode (Fig. 6).

The table below shows the approximate cooking time of each function. The actual cooking time may 

vary depending on voltage, room temperature, humidity and amount of water used.

 Open the lid and stir the rice to loosen it (Fig. ).

For the best results, do this just after the rice cooker has switched to keep-warm mode. Then close 

the lid firmly. Stirring the rice allows excess steam to escape. This will give fluffier rice.

 Press the OFF button to cancel the cooking process, the preset setting or the keep-warm 

mode. The cook light will start to blink (Fig. 8).

The rice cooker has a backup memory that retains the last selected mode, function and settings in 

case of a power failure. If the power supply is restored within 2 hours, the interrupted cooking 

process will continue or the timer function will be reactivated.

Always press the OFF button before unplugging the appliance, as otherwise the last selected 

function and settings will resume when the rice cooker is plugged in again.

 Follow steps 1 to  in ‘Cooking rice’.

cooker to overflow.

  

 Press the CONGEE button (Fig. 9).

The congee light goes on.

The default cooking time of 1 hour blinks on the display.

Press the HR and/or MIN buttons to set the desired time. You can set any time between 30 

minutes and  hours (Fig. 10).

If you fail to set a cooking time, the default cooking time of 1 hour will apply.

The congee cooking process automatically starts within 5 seconds of setting the cooking 

time.
