8 HD4738/HD4733: Set the function selection switch to RICE (fig. 9).
� HD4738/HD4733:The rice light goes on (fig. 10).
9 Press the control lever down to start the cooking process (fig. 11).
If you fail to press down the control lever, the rice cooker will automatically switch to the keep-
warm mode.The cook light/rice light goes out and the warm light goes on.
� When the cooking process is finished, the cook light/rice light goes out and the warm light
goes on to indicate that the rice cooker has automatically switched to the keep-warm mode
(fig. 12).
10 Open the lid and stir the rice to loosen it (fig. 13).
For the best results, do this just after the rice cooker has switched to keep-warm mode.Then close
the lid firmly. Stirring the rice allows excess steam to escape.This will give fluffier rice.
11 To end the cooking process or keep-warm mode, pull up the control lever, switch off the
mains and remove the mains plug from the wall socket (fig. 14).
Cooking congee (HD4738/HD4733 only)
1 Follow steps 1 to 7 in section 'Cooking rice'.
Do not exceed the volume indicated in the table for congee cooking, as this may cause the rice
cooker to overflow.
2 Set the function selection switch to CONGEE (fig. 15).
� The congee light goes on (fig. 16).
3 Press the control lever down to start the congee cooking process (fig. 11).
BTip:Stir the congee half-way through the cooking process.This will prevent congee from sticking to the
pot.
4 To end the congee cooking process, pull up the control lever, switch off the mains and
remove the mains plug from the wall socket (fig. 14).
At the end of the congee cooking process, the rice cooker does not switch to the keep-warm
mode.
Do not leave the rice cooker switched on too long after the actual cooking process has finished, as
this will cause the congee to turn gluey.
Steaming
1 Measure 3 cups of water with the measuring cup and pour it into the inner pot.
The amount of water varies according to the quantity of food being steamed.
It will take approx. 8 minutes for 3 cups of water to come to the boil.
2 Put the food to be steamed on a plate or in the steam tray.
To ensure even steaming, the food should be spread out evenly and should not be piled up.
3 Put the steam tray in the inner pot.
When you combine steaming and rice cooking, make sure you measure out an amount of rice that
leaves enough room for the steam tray.The steamed food will be ready when the rice cooking
process is finished.
4 If you are using a separate plate, put it in the steam tray.
5 Follow steps 7 to 10 in section 'Cooking rice'. |
