Before using your \bice Perfect for the first time \fash the removable cooking pan, lid, rice measuring cup and serving spoon in \farm soapy \fater. \binse and dry thoroughly. To Cook Rice 1. Using the rice measuring cup provided, measure out the required quantity of rice (refer to rice cooking chart on page 9). Make sure the rice is a level cup measure. NOTE: 1 level rice cup = 150\b. . 1 cup uncooked white rice = 2 rice cups of cooked white rice (approximately) 1 cup uncooked brown rice = 2½ cups cooked brown rice (approximately) This Sunbeam rice cup is not the same measurement as a standard metric cup 2. Place the measured rice in a sieve, and \fash rice thoroughly under cold \fater. Wash until the \fater runs clear. This removes excess starch \fhich helps to achieve fluffier rice. Alternatively, \fash rice in the cooking pan t\fo or three times until the \fater is clear, pouring out the milky \fater bet\feen each rinse. 3. Ensure the exterior of the cooking pan is clean and dry before placing it inside the heating vessel. 4. Place the \fashed rice in the cooking pan. Add cold \fater to the cup level indicated on the inside of the cooking pan or add the quantity of \fater specified in the cooking charts on page 9. Make sure the rice on the bottom of the pan is even \fhen adding the \fater. 5. \beplace the lid. 6. Insert the plug into a 230-240 volt AC po\fer outlet and turn the po\fer on. The “KEEP WA\bM” light \fill illuminate. 7. Depress the automatic control lever to “COOK” to begin the cooking cycle. The “COOK” light \fill illuminate. 8. When cooking is complete, your \bice Perfect \fill automatically s\fitch to “KEEP WA\bM” mode and the “KEEP WA\bM” light \fill illuminate. 9. With the lid on, allo\f rice to stand in the “KEEP WA\bM” mode for 5-10 minutes for small quantities and approximately 10-15 minutes for larger quantities. DO NOT use metal utensils as these \fill scratch the non-stick coating. A plastic spoon is supplied. 10. The “KEEP WA\bM” cycle \fill continue until the po\fer is s\fitched off. If keeping the rice \farm, stir, then replace lid. \bice can be kept \farm in the \bice Perfect for up to 2 hours. After 2 hours rice should be refrigerated for storage if required. NOTE: Whilst operating, do not remove the lid as this may affect cooking results. Do not interfere \fith the automatic control lever. Do not keep rice in the cooker for extended periods of time on “KEEP WA\bM” mode as the rice becomes dry and the quality deteriorates. 6 Using your Rice Perfect

Tips for cooking rice
\besults may vary depending on the type of
rice used.
1. For fluffier rice, add a little extra \fater and
for firmer rice, add a little less \fater.
2. Should you happen to add too much extra
\fater, the excess \fater may overflo\f
during cooking. It is a good idea to cook
the rice \fith the recommended quantity of
\fater first and then if the rice is still firm,
add a little extra \fater \fhich can be stirred
through at the end. You \fill then need
to depress the automatic lever to “COOK”
mode.
3. The rice cup provided is not a standard
metric measuring cup.
Sunbeam rice cup = 150\b uncooked rice
= 180ml water
If you lose the rice measurin\b cup provided use
the ratio:
1 cup uncooked white rice = 1 cup water
1 cup uncooked brown rice = 1 ½ cups water
Cookin\b times will vary if usin\b a lar\ber
measurin\b cup. 4.
Wash rice thoroughly until the \fater runs
clear.
5. Bro\fn rice needs more \fater to cook,
\fhich results in a build up of starchy \fater
and bubbles forming around the lid, \fhich
can cause spitting from the air vent. Make
sure the bro\fn rice is rinsed \fell before
cooking.
8 C\fre \fnd cle\fning After using your \bice Perfect, turn the po\fer off and remove the cord from the po\fer outlet. CAUTION: Never immerse the heating vessel in \fater. CAUTION: Never use any chemical, steel \fool, harsh abrasive cleaners, thinners or chemical dust cloths to clean any part of your \bice Perfect. WARNING: Do not allo\f \fater to enter the inside of the heating vessel as this may cause electrocution. Types of Rice There are three main types of rice: Short Grain: The grains are short and plump.
