Using your rice cooker to steam vegetables

Make sure your rice cooker is switched off, unplugged at the mains supply
socket and is fully cooled before assembling or disassembling. During use the
glass lid, removable bowl, steamer tray and cooker body will get very hot. Always
handle with care and use oven gloves.
Always check that the vegetables are thoroughly cooked before serving.
1. Place the removable bowl inside your rice cooker's base. When cooking, you must
always use the removable bowl. Ensure the bowl is positioned correctly.
2. Use the supplied measure, add a minimum of 3 measures of water and a maximum
of 6 measures of water. Don't under or over fill your rice cooker as it may be
damaged.
3. Fit the steamer tray. Add the vegetables to the steamer tray. Make sure that some
of the steam holes in the steamer tray remain uncovered to allow the steam to
penetrate the vegetables. Don't overfill the steamer tray otherwise the vegetables
may be unevenly cooked.
4. Place the glass lid onto your rice cooker.
5. Plug your rice cooker into a suitable mains supply socket. The keep warm light will
illuminate.
6. Move the cook/keep warm selector switch to the down (cook) position. The cook light
will illuminate.
Unless your recipe states otherwise, avoid removing the lid before the cooking time has
elapsed. Removing the lid unnecessarily will result in a loss of steam and the cooking
time will need to be extended.
Steam the vegetables for the appropriate time. For cooking times see the steam cooking
guide on page 11.
If further steaming is required ensure there is sufficient water in the bowl. Care should
be taken to ensure that your rice cooker doesn't boil dry. Add more water or stock as
required and replace the steaming tray and glass lid. Move the cook/keep warm selector
switch to the down (cook) position. The cook light will illuminate.
After use
After use, unplug your rice cooker from the supply socket. Your rice cooker does not
switch off automatically.
