The unit measures approximately 294 mm in width, 295 mm in depth, and 302 mm in height.
Troubleshooting
Rice is too dry or hard after cooking
Increase the amount of water slightly in the next cycle or ensure the lid is fully sealed during the steaming process.
Water boiling over during cooking
Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum fill line inside the bowl and that the rice has been rinsed properly before cooking.
Rice sticking to the bottom
Ensure you are using the correct amount of water and allow the rice to rest for a few minutes after the cycle finishes before serving.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Tefal RK1011 is simple: place the unit on a flat, heat-resistant surface and ensure the 0.95m cord reaches your power outlet safely. Before the first use, wash the removable inner bowl, steaming basket, and glass lid with warm, soapy water and dry them thoroughly. When cleaning, avoid using abrasive sponges or metal utensils on the inner bowl to preserve its non-stick integrity. Always ensure the exterior of the inner bowl is dry before placing it back into the heating base to prevent damage to the heating element. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
