The Lauben 2000BW is a multifunction rice cooker designed for household use. Before first use, ensure all packaging is removed and all removable parts (inner pot, steamer, measuring cup, spoon, inner lid) are washed in warm soapy water. Always place the unit on a stable, flat, and dry surface with at least 10 cm of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation.
Product Description
The device consists of the main rice cooker body, a removable inner pot, a lid with a removable inner lid, and a control panel. Accessories include a spoon, measuring cup, power cord, and a steamer basket.
Instructions for Use
Basic Operation:
- Prepare your ingredients.
- Press the lid open button and remove the inner pot.
- Add ingredients to the pot, ensuring you do not exceed the maximum fill line.
- Insert the pot into the cooker and close the lid.
- Connect to power. The display will show 00:00.
- Use the Menu button to select your desired program. Cooking starts automatically after 7 seconds of inactivity.
- Once cooking is complete, the device will beep and automatically switch to Keep Warm mode.
Cooking Programs
The cooker features various programs including White Rice, Brown Rice, Curry, Steam, Soup, Yogurt, Cake, Porridge, Reheat, Stew/Braise, Boil Beans, and Claypot Rice. Each program has a default time which can be adjusted using the H and M buttons.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Always disconnect the power plug and allow the device to cool completely before cleaning. Do not immerse the main unit, power cord, or plug in water. Wash the inner pot, steamer, measuring cup, and spoon in warm water with a little dishwashing detergent. The inner lid and silicone seals should also be removed and washed regularly.
Troubleshooting
If the device does not turn on, check the power cord connection and the wall socket. If the rice is not cooked properly, ensure it was distributed evenly in the pot. For error codes E1–E4, please contact an authorized service center as these indicate sensor faults.
