2 Wash the rice thoroughly. 3 Add water to the level indicated on the scale inside the pot that corresponds to the number of cups of rice used.Then smooth the rice surface (fig. 2). For instance, if you cook 4 cups of rice, add water up to the 4-cup level indicated on the scale. B The level marked inside the pot is just an indication; you can always adjust the water level for different types of rice and your own preference. 4 Put the inner pot in the rice cooker. Check if the inner pot is in proper contact with the heating plate. Make sure that the outside of the inner pot is dry and clean and that there is no foreign residue on the heating plate or the magnetic switch. 5 Put the lid on the rice cooker and put the plug in the wall socket. The keep-warm light goes on. 6 Press the control lever down to start the cooking process (fig. 3). The cook light goes on. � When the cooking process is finished, the cook light goes out and the keep-warm light goes on automatically (fig. 4).

7 Remove the lid and stir the rice (fig. 5). For the best results, do this just after the keep-warm light has gone on.Then put the lid firmly onto the cooker to continue the keep-warm function. Stirring the rice allows excess steam to escape.This will give fluffier rice. Steaming (HD4502 only) The steaming function may only be used in combination with the rice-cooking function (see section 'Rice cooking'). 1 Follow steps 1 to 6 in section 'Rice cooking'.When measuring the rice, make sure there is enough room left for the steam tray. 2 Put the food to be steamed on a plate or in the steam tray. To ensure even steaming, the food should be spread out evenly and should not be piled up. 3 Put the steam tray in the inner pot on top of the rice (fig. 6). 4 If you are using a separate plate, put it in the steam tray. 5 Put the lid firmly onto the rice cooker. 6 Follow steps 7 and 8 in section 'Rice cooking'. The steamed food will be ready when the rice-cooking process is finished.
