Product Overview

The Bella 16-Cup Rice Cooker and Steamer is a versatile kitchen appliance designed for household use. It features a durable non-stick inner pot, a tempered glass lid with a steam valve, and an included steamer basket for simultaneous cooking of rice and vegetables. The unit is equipped with a simple one-touch operation and an automatic keep-warm function.

Safety Precautions

• Always use the appliance on a level, dry, and heat-resistant surface.
• Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles or knobs.
• Keep the appliance away from flammable materials like curtains or towels.
• Ensure the exterior of the inner pot is completely dry before placing it into the cooker to prevent malfunctions.
• Never immerse the main unit, cord, or plug in water.
• Use caution when opening the lid to avoid escaping steam.

Operating Instructions

To cook rice, measure the desired amount using the provided 160ml cup, rinse the rice, and place it in the inner pot. Add the appropriate amount of water according to the cooking guide. Press the cook switch to begin; the indicator light will turn on. Once cooking is complete, the unit will automatically switch to the keep-warm mode. For steaming, add water to the inner pot, place the steamer basket on top, and follow the same cooking process.

Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance. Always unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. The inner pot, glass lid, measuring cup, and rice paddle can be washed with mild, soapy water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick coating. Wipe the exterior of the cooker with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting and Tips

• If rice is too dry or hard, add a small amount of water and continue cooking.
• If rice is too moist, stir it with the paddle to release excess steam and let it sit on the keep-warm setting.
• For better flavor, you can substitute water with meat or vegetable broth.
• Do not leave rice on the keep-warm setting for more than 3 hours.
