Lotus LF-100 - Points to Remember

3. Whole grain rice (brown and black) will take longer to cook than white rice and
require more water. It is always a good idea to keep the rice on the WARM cycle
for at least 5 minutes to allow the steam to nish cooking the rice.
4. Place the lid on the rice cooker. Plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The
WARM indictor light will come on. Push the ON switch down and the
COOK indicator light will come on. As the rice expands
and cooks, steam will come out of the vent on the lid. Do not place the cooker
directly under your cabinet and take care not to place your hand on top of the
vent as well. Slight spattering along the edges is normal.
NOTE: Cooking will begin only when the ON switch is pushed down and the
inner pot is in position in the unit.
5. When the water has been absorbed, the cooker will automatically switch from
cooking mode to WARM (the warm indicator light will come on) and will
continue until the unit is unplugged. Rice can be kept warm for several hours.
For best results, let the cooked rice sit for at least 5 minutes before stirring or
removing. This allows the steam to nish the cooking process.
NOTE: Do not try to prevent the cooker from switching to the WARM
cycle. Do not immediately depress the switch again after it has begun the
WARM cycle.
6. Fluff rice with a plastic or wooden utensil and if desired, mix in ingredients
such as minced vegetables.
7. When done, unplug the unit. Always clean the cooker thoroughly as soon as
possible after each use.
POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Do not turn on rice cooker when empty of water.
• Avoid placing unit under any wall cabinets when operating, and avoid reach-
ing over the unit when it is operating for much steam is generated.
• Cooking times are estimated and depend on the quantity, size and desired
texture of each rice.
• Cooking times may be shortened or lengthened according to personal taste
• Use hot pads or oven mitts when removing the lid from the rice cooker or
the inner pot from the outer cooker. Open the lid carefully to allow steam to
escape safely.
• Do not use any parts in the microwave or on any cooking/heating surface.
• Unplug when not in use
• Allow the unit to cool before cleaning.
Many other foods may be cooked in the Rice Cooker & Steamer including
meat, sh, poultry, vegetables, or even pudding and cakes. Steam cooking is
quick and easy, and more importantly, it preserves the original avors and
nutritional value.
