Panda Multifunction Mini Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
3.6 CANCELLING PROGRAMMES
To cancel a programme, you have selected or if you want to stop a programme part way through the cooking
cycle, you just need to press the ‘KEEP WARM/CANCEL’ button. The appliance will then switch to standby mode.
3.7 HOW TO USE THE DELAYED START (PRESET) FUNCTION
The ‘PRESET’ function is a useful timer/delayed start feature; this allows you to set the appliance to have your rice
or food ready at a specific time. It can be used for all settings apart from the ‘QUICK’ rice cook.
To set the timer:
1.
Press the ‘MENU’ button to select a cooking programme (for non-rice cooking programmes you can
programme the length of cooking time at this point).
2.
Then press the ‘PRESET’ button which will then light up.
3.
By pressing the ‘Hr’ and ‘Min’ touch buttons you can select the hours in advance when the rice/dish
should be ready.
4.
Press the ‘START’ button, the cooker will display the hours/minutes in advance you selected, start to
count down and the cooking cycle will complete at the time you specified.
If the preset/timer is set to below the minimum stated in the below table, the cooking cycle will start immediately.
This is because the default cooking time for each cooking cycle has to be taken into account along with
additional assessment time for the fuzzy logic to know what it is cooking.

Note
– be aware that perishable foods should not be left for long periods of time when you have set the ‘PRESET’
function as they may spoil.
The start time of the preset/timer is not exact, it will come on slightly earlier as Panda has
to assess what exactly is in the inner bowl (rice/oats/water) and volume so it can calculate the
cooking time effectively. It deals with this by turning the unit on early so it can ‘assess’ the
contents
.
