Add the washed rice to the removable
cooking bowl, ensuring rice is spread
evenly across the bottom of the bowl
and not heaped to one side.

Brown Rice =
1 scoop rice : 1½ scoops water.

When cooking is complete, the ready

™
automatically switch to the KEEP WARM
setting for up to 5 hours.
10.
Open the lid and turn the rice over with the
serving spoon provided. Replace the lid
and allow the rice to stand for 10–15
minutes before serving. This allows any
excess moisture to be absorbed,
resulting in a fluffier rice texture.
NOTE
The Risotto Plus rice scoop is not a standard metric measuring cup.
™
1 Risotto Plus rice scoop is equal to 150g of uncooked rice and 180ml of water. If your Risotto
™
Plus rice scoop is lost or misplaced, use another cup but maintain the same cooking ratios
™
and ensure you do not exceed the 10 scoop maximum line in the removable cooking bowl:
White Rice = 1 scoop rice + 1 scoop water
Brown Rice = 1 scoop rice + 1½ scoops water
NOTE
Do not remove the glass lid until ready to
serve (except for when turning over rice
after cooking is complete or as suggested
in the recipes).
NOTE
To stop the KEEP WARM setting, unplug
the power cord.
IMPORTANT
Do not interfere with the automatic
selector control during operation.
WARNING
Before removing the non-stick
cooking bowl from housing,
always ensure the power cord
