[. . . ] For example, to cook 6 cups of pasta, place the pasta into the inner bowl and then fill with water up to the six cup level. Minimum capacity is 4 cups, maximum is 10 cups. Never fill with water straight from the tap, use the measuring beaker. IMPORTANT: Do not fill above the top level indicated. 10 Switch off at the mains and unplug the mains cable. · Never take the bowl out of the cooker when it is filled with water. Tips for best cooking results · Make sure that the rice and pasta is spread over the whole surface of the bowl to ensure even cooking. You may find that for your own personal taste, you need to slightly adjust the amount of water added. For a softer rice or pasta, add a little more water, and for a firmer rice or pasta, a little less water. The cooking times may vary according to the quantity and type of rice or pasta cooked. A thin crust of rice may form on the base, particularly when cooking Italian or easy-cook type rice, or when cooking smaller quantities. Wiping half a teaspoon of oil over the base may help reduce this forming, but this occurrence is not always preventable. · · · 4 Place the inner bowl in the cooker, ensuring that there is no pasta or any moisture on the outside of the bowl. Cover with the lid, ensuring that the vent hole in the lid is situated away from you. Press down the switch and the cooker will start.
