At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with  
the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise  
a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.

Remove and safely discard any  
packaging material and promotional  
labels before using the Risotto & Rice™  
for the first time.  
Never operate the Risotto & Rice™  
without food and liquid in the removable  
cooking bowl.  
To eliminate a choking hazard for young  
children, remove and safely discard the  
protective cover fitted to the power plug  
of this appliance.  
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 place the Risotto & Rice™ 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 allow water from the lid to  
drip into the housing, only into the  
removable cooking bowl.  
Do not use the Risotto & Rice™ on a sink

correctly into position on the Risotto  
& Rice™ throughout operation of the  
appliance unless stated in the recipe to  
have it removed.  
Do not place this appliance on or near  
a hot gas or electric burner, or where it  
could touch a heated oven.  
The glass lid has been specially treated  
to make it stronger, more durable and  
safer than ordinary glass, however it  
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.  
Position the Risotto & Rice™ at a  
minimum distance of 20cm away from  
walls and provide adequate space above  
and all sides for air circulation.  
Always operate the Risotto & Rice™ on a  
stable and heat resistant surface.

supplied with the Risotto & Rice™.  
Do not use any other bowl inside the  
housing. Do not use a damaged or  
dented removable cooking bowl. If  
damaged or dented, replace bowl before  
using.  
Always ensure the power is switched off  
at the power outlet and the power cord is  
unplugged from the power outlet before  
attempting to move the appliance,  
when not in use and before cleaning or  
storing. Allow all parts to cool before  
disassembling for cleaning.  
Never plug in or switch on the Risotto

in the housing (this will ensure proper  
contact with the inner cooking surface).  
2. Plug power cord into a 230-240-volt  
power outlet and then switch the power  
on at the power outlet, the warm light  
will illuminate.  
3. Allow to cook, until Risotto & Rice™  
automatically switches to the WARM  
setting. This will take approximately 20-  
30 minutes depending on the recipe.  
3. Press the MENU SELECTOR button to  
the SAUTÉ setting. The red light will  
flash for a few seconds, then the light  
will permanently illuminate.  
4. Remove lid and stir well using the

i.e., butter, parmesan cheese, herbs,  
salt and pepper.  
4. Cover with lid and allow to pre-heat for  
approximately 2-3 minutes (do not pre-  
heat for longer than 5 minutes).  
5. The Risotto & Rice™ will remain on the  
WARM setting for 30 minutes before  
switching OFF. However, risotto is  
best served as soon as possible after  
completion of cooking.  
5. Add oil/butter and allow to melt/heat for  
approximately 1 minute.  
6. If using chicken or seafood in the recipe,  
sauté in small batches, cover with lid if  
necessary and stir occasionally until food  
is cooked. Remove from cooking bowl.

Risotto & Rice™ switches to the  
WARM setting or switches Off before  
cooking is complete. If this occurs,  
simply press the MENU SELECTOR  
button to the desired setting and  
continue cooking. This is a safety  
mechanism to prevent overheating  
due to certain cooking conditions.

OPERATING yOUR BREvILLE RISOTTO & RICE™  
HOW TO MAKE RICE  
NOTE  
When adding extra ingredients to  
risotto that require cooking e.g.;  
chicken, seafood or vegetables.  
These can be added towards the end  
of cooking time before the liquid in  
risotto has fully absorbed and risotto  
is still quite runny in texture. Stir  
ingredients into risotto, cover with  
lid and continue cooking until risotto  
switches to WARM setting. Check  
for doneness and if not quite cooked  
switch back to RISOTTO setting to  
cook a little more.  
RICE Setting  
1. Use the Risotto & Rice™ measuring  
cup provided to measure the required  
quantity of rice (refer to cooking tables -  
page 15). Always measure level cups, not  
heaped (Fig 1).  
Fig. 1  
NOTE  
When risotto maker has switched to  
the WARM setting and rice is still a  
little firm and under cooked and if  
there is still some unabsorbed liquid  
in the cooking bowl, cover with lid and  
leave on the WARM setting for 5 to 10  
minutes to finish cooking.  
NOTE  
1 level Rice cup =  
150 grams uncooked rice  
1 level Rice cup uncooked rice =  
2 Rice cups cooked rice (approx.)  
The maximum quantity of uncooked  
white rice to be cooked =  
10 Rice cups  
The minimum quantity of uncooked  
white rice to be cooked =  
2 Rice cups  
NOTE  
When risotto maker has switched to  
the WARM setting and rice is still  
a little firm and under cooked, and  
most of liquid has been absorbed, add  
a little extra stock or water, stir well,  
cover with lid and leave on the WARM  
setting for 5 to 10 minutes or until  
extra liquid is absorbed and rice is  
tender.  
2. Place measured rice into a separate bowl  
and wash with cold water to remove  
any excess starch. The rice is ready for  
cooking when water runs clear from the  
rice. Drain well.  
3. Ensure the exterior of the removable  
cooking bowl is clean before placing it  
in the housing (this will ensure proper  
contact with the inner cooking surface)  
(Fig 2).  
TIP  
For optimum risotto results, we  
recommend you stir once after 15-20  
minutes in the RISOTTO setting.

OPERATING yOUR BREvILLE RISOTTO & RICE™  
10. Open the lid and turn the rice over with  
Fig. 2  
the serving spoon provided. Replace the  
lid and allow the rice to stand for 10-15  
minutes before serving. This allows  
any excess moisture to be absorbed,  
resulting in a fluffier rice texture.  
NOTE  
After using the RICE setting the  
appliance will automatically switch to  
the WARM setting for up to 5 hours.  
4. Add the washed rice to the removable  
NOTE  
cooking bowl, ensuring rice is spread  
evenly across the bottom of the bowl and  
not heaped to one side (Fig 3).  
Do not remove the glass lid until ready  
to serve (except for when turning over  
rice after cooking is complete or as  
suggested in the recipes).

NOTE  
To stop the WARM setting, switch off  
at the power outlet and then unplug  
the power cord.

Brown Rice = 1½ cups water : 1 cup rice  
IMPORTANT  
Always place liquid into the  
removable cooking bowl before  
pressing the MENU SELECTOR  
button to the RICE setting.  
6. Place the glass lid into position.  
7. Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V

STEAMING
Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional  
value when cooked in the Risotto & Rice™  
Cooker. Foods may be steamed by placing  
food in the stainless steel steaming tray over  
stock or water and covering with the glass  
lid. Keep the glass lid on while steaming  
food unless the recipe or chart specifically  
states to remove the lid. By removing the lid  
unnecessarily steam is lost and the cooking  
time will be extended.  
NOTE  
Keep the glass lid on while steaming food  
unless the recipe or chart specifically  
states to remove the lid. (By removing  
the lid unnecessarily steam is lost and  
the cooking time will be extended.)  
NOTE  
1. Measure 3 Risotto & Rice™ cups or more of  
water or stock and pour into the removable  
cooking bowl. Use up to a maximum of 6  
Risotto & Rice™ cups of water.  
Do not let the removable cooking bowl  
boil dry during steaming.  
NOTE  
2. Place food to be steamed directly into  
the stainless steel steaming tray and  
insert into the removable cooking bowl.  
(Refer to the Steaming Charts on pages  
20-22 for approximate cooking times).  
Hot liquid can be added during the  
steaming process.  
HINTS ANd TIPS FOR

not thaw.  
6. When steaming is complete, remove  
foods from the Risotto & Rice™. If further  
steaming is required ensure sufficient  
water is in the removable cooking bowl.  
If not, add more hot water.  
The size and shape of vegetables, as  
well as personal taste, may call for  
adjustments to the cooking time. If  
softer vegetables are required, allow  
extra cooking time.  
7. If no further steaming is required, turn  
the Risotto & Rice™ off at the power outlet  
and then unplug power cord. Allow to cool  
before cleaning.
