Sunbeam RC5600 Rice Cooker User Manual


 
1. Before using your Rice Perfect Deluxe 7
for the first time wash the cooking pan,
measuring cup and serving spoon in
warm soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Position the serving spoon holder to the
side of the heating vessel and
condensation collector below the lid
hinge. Refer to illustration on previous
page.
2. Using the measuring cup provided,
measure out the required quantity of rice.
NOTE: 1 level cup measure = 180mls.
1 cup of uncooked rice = 2 cup
of cooked rice (approximately).
Min. quantity of uncooked rice = 2 cups
Max. quantity of uncooked rice = 7 cups
3. Using a sieve, wash rice thoroughly under
cold water before cooking. This removes
excess starch which helps to achieve
fluffier rice.
NOTE: A fine mesh sieve is the most
effective way to wash rice. Run water
through rice until the water runs clear not
milky.
4. Ensuring that the exterior of the cooking
pan is clean and dry, place it inside the
heating vessel.
5. Place the washed rice in the removable
pan. Add cold water to the level indicated
on the inside of the removable pan. See
cooking charts on page 6.
6. Close the lid until the latch clicks and lid
is fully closed.
7. Insert the plug into a 230-240 volt power
outlet and turn the power on. (The
“COOK” light will illuminate).

9. When cooking is complete, your Rice
Perfect Deluxe 7 will automatically switch

10.Allow rice to stand in the “KEEP WARM”
mode for 5-10 minutes (2-4 cups rice)
and 10-15 minutes (5-7 cups rice), with
the lid closed before serving. DO NOT use
metal utensils as these will scratch the
non-stick coating. Allow cooking pan to
cool before removing.
NOTE: If the lid is opened immediately
the condensation collector may overflow.
11.The “KEEP WARM” cycle will continue
until the power is switched off. If keeping
the rice warm, stir to release steam, then
close lid. Rice can be kept warm in the
Rice Perfect Deluxe 7 for up to 2 hours.
After 2 hours rice should be refrigerated
for storage, if required.
NOTE: During operating – do not open the
lid as this may affect cooking results. Do
not interfere with the automatic control
lever. Do not keep less than 2 cups of
rice in the cooker for extended periods of
time on “KEEP WARM” mode as the rice
becomes dry and the quality will
deteriorate.
