Kambrook Recommends Safety First  
IMPORTANT: Please retain your  
instruction book for future use.  
At Kambrook, we believe that safe performance is the first priority in any  
consumer product, so that you, our valued customer can confidently  
use and trust our products. We ask that any electrical appliance that  
you use be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention  
placed on the following important operating instructions.  
Important Safeguards For Your Kambrook  
10 Cup Jar Rice Cooker  
• Carefully read all instructions before  
operating the Kambrook Rice Cooker for  
the first time and save for future reference.  
• Never plug in or switch on the rice cooker  
without having the removable cooking bowl  
placed inside the stainless steel housing.  
• Remove and safely discard any packaging  
material and promotional labels before  
using the rice cooker for the first time.  
• Do not place food or liquid in the housing.  
Only the removable cooking bowl is  
designed to contain food or liquid.  
• To eliminate a choking hazard for young  
children, remove and safely discard the  
protective cover fitted to the power plug of  
this appliance.  
• Always ensure the rice cooker is properly  
assembled before operating. Follow the  
instructions provided in this book.  
• Never operate the rice cooker without food  
and liquid in the removable cooking bowl.  
• Do not place the appliance near the edge  
of a bench or table during operation.  
Ensure the surface is level, clean and free  
of water and other substances.  
• Do not touch hot surfaces, use oven  
mitts to remove the lid. Lift and remove  
the lid carefully to avoid scalding from  
escaping steam.  
• Do not operate the rice cooker on a sink  
drain board.  
• Do not allow water from the lid to drip  
into the housing, only into the removable  
cooking bowl.  
• Do not place this appliance on or near a  
hot gas or electric burner, or where it could  
touch a heated oven.  
• Always have the lid locked correctly into  
position on the rice cooker throughout  
operation of the appliance unless states in  
the recipe to have it removed.  
• Position the rice cooker at a minimum  
distance of 20cm away from walls and  
provide adequate space above and all  
sides for air circulation.  
• The glass lid has been specially treated ti  
make it stronger, more durable and safer  
than ordinary glass, however its is not  
unbreakable. If struck extremely hard, it  
may break or weaken and could at a later  
time shatter into many small pieces without  
apparent cause.  
• Always operate the rice cooker on a stable  
and heat resistant surface.  
• Use the removable cooking bowl supplied  
with the rice cooker. Do not use any other  
bowl inside the housing.

NOTE: Allow sufficient time  
when cooking brown rice and  
stir halfway through cooking if  
desired. When cooking brown  
rice, starchy water bubbles  
will form under the lid during  
cooking and will dissipate when  
left to stand on ‘WARM’ setting  
for 10-20 minutes when cooking  
has finished.  
NOTE: The quantity of water  
required will depend on the  
type of rice as well as personal  
preference for the texture of  
the cooked rice. Add a little  
extra water for fluffier rice and  
a little less water for firmer rice.  
Some white rice varieties, such  
as Basmati, Arborio and short  
grain, may require more water  
for cooking.  
NOTE: To cook wild rice (the  
seed of an aquatic grass)  
combine as a blend with white  
or brown rice.

Care, Cleaning and Storage  
Switch off at the power point and  
then unplug. Allow all parts to cool  
before cleaning. Wash removable  
cooking bowl, serving spoon and  
measuring cup in warm soapy water,  
rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.  
Do not wash the removable cooking  
bowl, measuring cup, serving spoon  
or housing in a dishwasher.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel  
wool or scouring pads as these can  
damage the non-stick surface of  
the removable cooking bowl and  
the housing. Never use metal utensils  
inside the non-stick removable  
cooking bowl.  
NOTE: If rice has cooked onto  
the inside of the removable  
cooking bowl, fill the bowl with  
hot soapy water and leave  
to stand for approximately  
10 minutes before cleaning  
with a soft cloth, rinse and dry  
thoroughly. Ensure rice residue  
does not adhere to the outside  
surface of the removable  
cooking bowl. The housing can  
be wiped with a soft, damp  
cloth then dried thoroughly.  
To prevent damage to the appliance,  
do not use alkaline cleaning agents  
when cleaning. Use a soft cloth and a  
mild detergent.  
CAUTION: Do not  
immerse the housing,  
power cord or power
