2. INTRODUCTION TO OPERATION
We have been tinkering for a long time to make the Digital Reishunger Rice Cooker as intuitive as
possible. What you now get is a truly professional appliance, but that can be operated just as
easily as a beginner's rice cooker. It offers various modes for the different rice varieties, all of
which can be called up in a matter of seconds via an operating panel.
The operating panel consists of the digital display and the buttons that are arranged in a circle
around it. The functions shown on the display are selected by pressing the buttons. If 2 SEC is
noted underneath a button, then the respective button must be held down for two seconds in order
to initiate the function.
The rice cooker is suitable for use by children aged 8 and over, provided they are supervised or
you have adequately explained the safe use of the appliance to them. It is important that you
talk to the children about the possible dangers and that they understand them before using the
appliance. The device should not be cleaned or serviced by children. If the children are older than
8 years, they can do this under your supervision. Store the rice cooker out of the reach of children
under 8 years of age.
2.1 Operating panel and display
Before we explain the individual buttons to you, an important note regarding operation: In order to
activate the START, WARM and CANCEL functions, you must hold down the respective button for
two seconds. If the corresponding function is triggered, it lights up on the display.

You can select between different rice programmes using the MENU button.
Important: When you connect the rice cooker to the power supply, the STANDARD
programme, with which you can essentially cook any type of rice, is pre-selected.
However, we recommend that you select special programmes for an even better result.
You can select between programmes in the display by pressing the MENU button. To
start a programme, simple press the START button for two seconds.
Pressing the MENU button takes you to the RICE programme. With each additional press
of the RICE button, you can now switch between the WHITE, BROWN
and SUSHI fine programmes.
To start the desired programme, press the START button and hold it down for
two seconds.
To stop the cooking process, hold the CANCEL button down for two seconds.
As soon as the selected programme is complete, the rice cooker automatically switches
into Keep-Warm mode. With the running timer on the display, you can see how long the
rice has already been kept warm at any time.
If the rice cooker is connected to the power supply and no programme is selected,
you can start the Keep-Warm mode by holding down the WARM button for
2 seconds – perfect for heating cooked but cold rice.
Using the TIMER button, you can delay the cooking process for up to 24 hours. Simply
add rice and water to the device, specify the desired end time for the cooking process
using the +1HR or +10MIN buttons, and then enjoy rice exactly when you need it.
Important: Do not set the timer for too long if you want to cook perishable food with it.
Do you prefer it grainer – or especially creamy? With certain programmes you can
adjust the preset cooking time to achieve the perfect result to suit your taste. During the
corresponding programmes a timer also lights up on the display. Simply press the +1HR
or +10MIN buttons to specify the desired time. Then start the selected programme as
usual by pressing and holding the START button for two seconds.
