User manual for Bartscher 13L and 19L Rice Cooker

Quick guide from the manual

This rice cooker is designed for cooking and keeping rice warm. Before first use, ensure the appliance is clean and dry. Always place the included silicone mat at the bottom of the inner pot before adding rice to prevent burning. Do not use the appliance with an external timer or remote control. Never immerse the external container in water.

• Hot surfaces: Surfaces become hot during operation. Use handles and wait for the appliance to cool down before cleaning or transport.
• Supervision: Always supervise the appliance during use.

Installation

Unpack the device and remove all packaging materials. Place the appliance on a surface that is even, dry, heat-resistant, and well-ventilated. Maintain at least 10 cm of clearance from flammable walls and items. Ensure the power cord is laid safely to prevent tripping.

Operation

Before first use: Clean the appliance and all components according to the cleaning section. Dry thoroughly. Place the silicone mat on the bottom of the inner pot.

Cooking process:

1. Measure the required amount of rice using the included measuring beaker.
2. Wash the rice in a separate container.
3. Pour the washed rice into the inner pot.
4. Add the appropriate amount of water based on the markings on the inner pot or the table provided in the manual. Do not exceed the maximum water level.
5. Insert the inner pot into the external container and rotate slightly to ensure good contact with the heating plate.
6. Place the lid on the container.
7. Plug in the appliance and press the ON/OFF switch downwards. The red cooking indicator light will turn on.
8. Once cooking is complete, the switch will automatically turn off, the red light will go off, and the orange warm-keeping light will turn on.
9. Leave the lid closed for 10–15 minutes after cooking for better texture.

Cleaning and maintenance

Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply and let it cool down completely before cleaning. Never wash the external container in a dishwasher and do not immerse it in water. Wash the lid, inner pot, measuring beaker, rice spoon, and silicone mat in warm water with a mild detergent. If rice sticks to the heating plate, use a wooden scraper to remove it. Wipe the external container with a soft, damp cloth.
