The Tefal Classic Automatic Rice Cooker is designed for domestic use. To operate, add ingredients and water to the bowl, ensure it is correctly placed inside the appliance, and press the control switch downwards. The red cooking indicator will light up. Once cooking is complete, the appliance automatically switches to the 'keep warm' function, indicated by a green light.
Product Overview
The appliance consists of a main body, a removable non-stick bowl, a lid with a glass viewing window, and a control panel. Depending on the model, it includes steam accessories (a steam plate for the 2.0L model or a steam bowl for the 3.2L model). It also features a magnetized condensation collector and a measuring cup.
Safety Reminders
- Always plug the appliance into an earthed socket.
- Do not immerse the body of the appliance in water.
- Do not operate the appliance when the bowl is empty or missing.
- Do not remove the bowl while the appliance is working.
- Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
- If the power lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorized service center.
Preparation and First Use
Before using for the first time, unpack all attachments, remove the lid, and clean the bowl and lid with a sponge and washing-up liquid. Dry thoroughly. When measuring ingredients, use the graduations on the inside of the bowl. Note that 1 cup equals 150g of rice. For cooking rice, add water up to the corresponding mark. For other foods, do not exceed the maximum volume indicated for your specific model (2.0L or 3.2L).
Cooking
To start cooking, press the control switch downwards. The red cooking indicator will illuminate. The appliance automatically determines the cooking time based on the quantity of water and ingredients. Once the water is absorbed, the unit switches to 'keep warm' mode. You can manually start the 'keep warm' function by lifting the control switch.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The condensation collector should be emptied and cleaned after each use. The bowl, lid, and steam accessories are dishwasher safe, though hand washing with a sponge and mild detergent is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating. Do not use scouring powders or metal sponges. If food sticks, soak the bowl before cleaning. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
