Kenwood RC400 Rice Cooker User Manual


 
hints
Cooking times are approximate and
are affected by size and temperature
of food and the degree of cooking
desired. Water amounts may be
adjusted.
If the steaming stops before the food
is sufficiently cooked, add cold water
to the inner bowl, replace food and
cover. Restart the cooking until the
food is adequately cooked.
Accumulated steam allows foods to
continue cooking even after the
appliance has switched off. Remove
food promptly to avoid over-cooking.
Small items cook faster than larger
ones. Food of uniform size will cook
more evenly.
Altitude affects the temperature at
which water boils and thus the
cooking time. At high altitude longer
cooking times are needed.
important
Do not keep rice warm for longer
than 1 hour. Small quantities are
best eaten straight away.
Do not reheat cooked rice in the rice
cooker.
Do not lift the lid during the keep
warm period.
We do not recommend the use of
the rice cooker for cooking packet
type savoury rice.
Always use heat resistant gloves to
remove the inner bowl, steamer
basket and lid from the appliance.
If ingredients are to be added to
cooked rice, they must be
thoroughly cooked as appropriate,
and the rice should be consumed
immediately.
Cooking always takes place in the
inner bowl. Never place food directly
in the body of the rice cooker.
During cooking, certain varieties of
rice may cause a build up of steam
within the appliance resulting in
some spitting from the vent and
under the lid.
On removing the rice from the inner
bowl, a small amount of golden
coloured rice may be noted on the
base of the bowl. This is normal,
allow the bowl to cool, fill with warm
soapy water and allow to soak which
will loosen the rice and make
cleaning easier.
The rice must be thoroughly washed
before cooking.
Ensure that the area between the
rice cooker and inner bowl is always
clean and free from any rice particles
etc. This is important to ensure
proper contact between the two.
Do not interfere with the automatic
switch mechanism by preventing it
from switching to the warm cycle.
Do not depress the switch to cook
once it has begun the warm cycle.
The use of sharp implements inside
the bowl may damage the non-stick
coating.
