 HOW TO USE THIS MODULE

Welcome to the Module “Maintaining and Repairing a Rice cooker”. This

module contains training materials and activities for you to complete.

The unit of competency “Maintain and Repair Electronically-Controlled

Domestic Appliances” contains the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for
Consumer Electronics Servicing required to obtain the National Certificate
(NC) level II.

You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to

complete each of the learning outcomes of the module. In each learning
outcome there are Information Sheets, Job Sheets, and Operation Sheets .
Do these activities on your own and answer the Self-Check at the end of each
learning activity.

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask your teacher for assistance.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

You have already some basic knowledge and skills covered in this module
because you have been working for some time; and already completed training
in this area.

If you can demonstrate competence to your teacher in a particular skill, talk

to your teacher so you don’t have to undergo the same training again. If you
have a qualification or Certificate of Competency from previous trainings show it
to him/her. If the skills you acquired are consistent with and relevant to this
module, they become part of the evidence. You can present these for RPL. If you
are not sure about your competence skills, discuss this with your teacher.

After completing this module, ask your teacher to assess your competence.
Result of your assessment will be recorded in your competency profile. All the
learning activities are designed for you to complete at your own pace.

In this module, you will find the activities for you to complete and relevant
information sheets for each learning outcome. Each learning outcome may have
more than one learning activity.

This module is prepared to help you achieve the required competency, in

receiving and relaying information. This will be the source of information that
will enable you to acquire the knowledge and skills in “Maintain and Repair
Electronically-Controlled Domestic Appliances” independently at your own pace
with minimum supervision from your teacher.

RICE COOKER

Rice Cooker

Is a self contained kitchen appliance, used primarily for cooking rice. Rice
cookers are used to prepare steamed rice and keep them warm after cooking. It
consist of an insulated case containing a removable cooking pot. A heating
element is located between the two containers, usually controlled by a thermostat
The cooking pot is usually calibrated to ensure proper proportions of the rice and
water.

How the rice cooker operates?

In most rice cookers, the rice and the water are poured in at the start of cooking.
The heater then brings the water to boiling point, during which the rice absorbs the
water and expands. After the present time, the rest of the water is boiled away and
the machine either shuts off or switches to ‘ keep warm” mode. Some models allow
users to add flavorings before or during the cooking.

 Major Parts and its Function

Power Cord - is a cord that temporarily connects an

electrical appliance to an electrical
power source. The term is generally used
for cables using a power plug to connect
to a single-phase.

Cast Heater - A part of a rice cooker that produced heat

to the aluminum pan.

Mica heater- consist of an etched-foil sandwiched between

layers of mica. Installed by clamping to heat
sinks, mica heater provide the ultimate
temperature and wattage capability for fast
warmup.

 Thermal fuse – is a cutoff which uses a one-time fusible
link. Unlike the thermostat which
automatically resets itself when
temperature drops, the thermal fuse is
more like an electrical fuse.

Thermostat assembly- a device, as in a home heating

system that automatically responds
to temperature changes and activates
switches controlling the equipment.

Aluminum pan- A part of a rice cooker which the rice is

placed.
