Mode d'emploi
Riz de cuisson

- Maintien au chaud automatique : Once the rice is cooked, the appliance will automatically switch to the "WARM" function. The red "COOK" light will turn off, and the orange "WARM" light will illuminate.
- Rest and Serve: For optimal results, allow the rice to rest on the "WARM" setting for 5-10 minutes after cooking is complete. Then, open the lid carefully (steam will escape), fluff the rice with the serving spatula, and serve.
- Débrancher: Après avoir servi, débranchez le cuiseur à riz de la prise électrique.
Fonction de maintien au chaud
The automatic "Keep Warm" function maintains the rice at an ideal serving temperature without overcooking. This feature is perfect for keeping rice warm until you are ready to serve, or for buffets and parties.
