RECIPES

COOKING RICE

Open the lid by pressing the ‘Release Lever’ button found on the lid.
Take the inner pot out.
Measure the rice using the measuring cup provided.
Note: Do not exceed the quantities indicated on the inside of the inner pot.
Wash the rice thoroughly.
Put the pre-washed rice in the inner pot.
