1. Before first use, unpack onto a flat, dry surface. Wash the Cooking Pot by hand with warm soapy water; wash the Steaming Basket, Spatula and Measuring Scoop the same way or in the dishwasher. Wipe the Cooker Base with a damp cloth. NEVER submerge the main unit in water.
2. Measure with the supplied 180 mL rice scoop; one scoop is listed as 150 g of uncooked rice, not 150 g of every grain. Put grains into the Cooking Pot first. A circled number is the number of scoops; its connected line is the final water level for that grain. For four scoops of white rice, add water to the circled-4 White Rice line.
3. For the ratio method, measure grain and water separately using the same measuring cup and the grain’s ratio in the table below. Add only that measured water; do not add it again after filling to a pot marking. Keep all food and water below the highest inner-pot line. The maximum is five scoops of rice/other grains, four scoops of quinoa or oats, and two scoops of farro or barley.
4. For steaming alone, put one supplied scoop of water into the Cooking Pot and the prepared food into the Steaming Basket. For grains and steaming together, put the measured grain and its water in the pot and the food in the basket; the food steams while the grain program runs.
5. Place the Cooker Base on a clean, dry, level counter. Press the lid-opening button. Clean the outside of the Cooking Pot, then seat it level on the inner heating plate. If steaming, lower the basket into the top of the pot so it sits level. Close the Cooker Lid all the way until it clicks.

Next steps

1. Connect the Power Cord to the Cooker Base and then the wall outlet. Press Power; the button illuminates blue and the cooking programs illuminate white. Select White Rice, Brown Rice, Oats, Quinoa or Grains. For steaming alone, select Steam and use the up/down arrows to set the time in one-minute increments, up to one hour.
2. If you want a delayed start, select the program first, then press Delay Start. Use the arrows to change the default two-hour delay in 15-minute increments, from 15 minutes to 12 hours. Press Start/Stop to begin the delay or to start cooking immediately when no delay is set.
3. Watch for moving lines while cooking. Grain programs show a countdown only for their final ten minutes. Steam preheats for 5–9 minutes before its countdown starts. Press Start/Stop again if you need to stop the program.
4. At completion, one beep sounds and Keep Warm begins, counting upwards for up to three hours. Remove tender foods promptly; cool green vegetables in ice-cold water to stop further cooking. Stir rice within 30 minutes of Keep Warm to prevent sticking.
5. Open the lid carefully, keeping clear of the steam vent. Use oven mitts for the hot Cooking Pot and Steaming Basket and use the supplied Spatula or wood/plastic utensils to remove food. Do not touch the heating plate until it has completely cooled. Turn off and unplug before cleaning.

The table’s uncooked serving size is ¼ rice cup for the listed grains. For rolled oats, use the Oats program with one part oats to two parts water; for steel-cut oats, use one part oats to three parts water. The oats serving size is ½ rice cup. Use the grain packet’s directions for grain types not listed above.

Use a cooking thermometer to check that chicken has reached an internal temperature of 75°C. Cooking time depends on the food and quantity, so use the listed cut sizes and portions.

• If there is no power, check the cord connection and press the illuminated Power button. If there is power but no cooking, push the lid down until it clicks, select a cooking or Steam program, and press Start/Stop.
• If liquid leaks during cooking, stop the program and check the grain-to-water ratio before the next cook; too much water for the grain can overflow. If rice sticks together, stir within 30 minutes in Keep Warm.
• For stuck food, soak the cooled pot in water before washing; hot soapy water loosens residue. For stubborn residue, leave dishwashing liquid on it for a few minutes before soaking. Do not use metal utensils or steel wool on the non-stick pot.

1. Before first use, unpack onto a flat, dry surface. Wash the Blending Blade, Work Bowl and Work Bowl Lid in soapy water, handling the sharp blade carefully; dry the parts. Wipe the Motor Base with a damp cloth only. Place the base on a clean, dry, level counter.
2. Run the initial cleaning cycle before preparing food: fit the blade vertically onto the Blade Holder, twist the lid clockwise to lock and align the bowl’s black arrow with the Motor Base Unlock icon. Hold the base and turn the bowl anticlockwise to lock. Fill the Water Reservoir to the 25-minute line, twist its cap clockwise closed, plug in and run Steam. Unplug afterwards, let everything cool completely, lift the blade with a mitt, and discard the water from bowl and reservoir.
3. Wash the ingredients and remove skins, cores, rinds, stems, seeds and bones. Cut food into roughly 1–2 cm cubes. Prepare about 200 mL for the guide’s times below; keep food below the Work Bowl MAX line and the pour-spout vents. Do not use citrus rind or stone seeds.
4. While the appliance is off and cool, add cold water to the Water Reservoir using the food-specific amount below. Replace the Water Reservoir Cap clockwise until tightly sealed. Never add water while the appliance is on or hot.
5. For Steam + Blend, lower the Blending Blade vertically onto the Blade Holder. For steaming only, the blade is optional; its drainage holes can keep excess water separate from food. Add food to the Work Bowl, leaving the steam vents clear. Do not put food or liquid inside the Work Bowl Lid assembly.

Next steps

1. Twist the Work Bowl Lid clockwise to lock it, then turn the Work Bowl anticlockwise onto the Motor Base until locked. Plug in: one beep and a solid blue Indicator light mean it is ready. Six beeps mean the bowl or lid needs refitting; unplug, remove the bowl and repeat the locking steps.
2. Select Steam on the Setting Dial and press Power; the Indicator light flashes blue while steaming. For automatic purée, select Steam + Blend instead: blending starts automatically after steaming. If the lid opens, cooking stops; close and lock it, then press Power to resume.
3. If three beeps sound and the blue light flashes, turn off and let the appliance cool before adding the required room-temperature water. A solid blue light shows the reservoir has enough water; press Power to resume. Five beeps at the end mean the cycle is finished and the appliance has entered Standby.
4. Unplug and allow at least ten minutes of cooling, and longer until all parts and food are completely cool before handling. Wait for the motor and blade to stop. Hold the bowl handle and turn clockwise to unlock from the base; open the lid carefully and lift the blade vertically with a mitt. Transfer food with a non-metal spoon or spatula; never serve directly from the Work Bowl. Check that food is fully cooked and at a safe feeding temperature.
5. After emptying the bowl, separate the two lid pieces by twisting the circular bottom grip anticlockwise. Empty remaining reservoir water. Clean the blade, bowl, lid and inside the Blade Stem, remove food and water, and dry fully before putting away.

1. Fill the cooled Water Reservoir to the ten-minute line. Put one frozen serving in the Work Bowl, lock the bowl and lid, select Steam and press Power. Repeat if needed, then check the food temperature before feeding.
