Operating Instructions for the Semak Rice Cooker
1. Measure rice with the measuring cup. Rinse rice until the
water is clear and the rice is clean.
2. Place washed rice in the pan, then add water. Eg. For each
cup of rice, add one cup of water. For 0.8L of Rice, pour

level.
3. Place pan in the cooker. Ensure that the pan is directly in
contact with the heating plate by turning it slightly from

while cooking and may damage the unit.
4. Place outer lid onto body.
5. Plug unit into electrical outlet and flip on switch to begin
cooking, the red cooking light will illuminate. Once cooking
cycle completed, the warm light will illuminate. The rice
will be kept between 60-80◦c until the unit is disconnected
from the power.

rice from drying out or discolouring until served.

during the keep warm cycle.
