IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances, including the following:

1. IMPORTANT: Read all instructions carefully before first use.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces.
3. Use only on a level, dry and heat-resistant surface.
4. To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plug or the appliance in water or any other liquid.
5. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow unit to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock or injury.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter or table.
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
12. Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
13. Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing rice, hot oil or other liquids.
14. Do not touch, cover or obstruct the steam vent on the top of the rice cooker as it is extremely hot and may cause scalding.
15. Use only with a 120V AC power outlet.
16. Always unplug from the base of the wall outlet. Never pull on the cord.
17. The rice cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating appliances. If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, the appliance may not operate properly.
18. Always make sure the outside of the inner cooking pot is dry prior to use. If the inner pot is returned to the cooker when wet, it may damage or cause the product to malfunction.
19. Use extreme caution when opening the lid during or after cooking. Hot steam will escape and may cause scalding.
20. Rice should not be left in the inner cooking pot with the Keep-Warm function on for no more than 3 hours.
21. To prevent damage or deformation, do not use the inner cooking pot on a stovetop or burner.
22. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
23. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the removable inner cooking pot provided.
24. Do not wrap or tie cord around appliance.
25. Intended for countertop use only.
26. WARNING: Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep appliance and cord away from children. Never drape cord over edge of counter and never use outlet below counter.
27. Do not use for deep frying.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords may be used if care is exercised. If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or animals or tripped over. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire cord.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle.

1. Use the provided measuring cup to add the desired amount of the rice to the inner pot. 6
2. Rinse rice or grain to remove excess starch and drain.

Note

• Brown rice requires a longer cooking cycle than other rice varieties due to the extra bran layers on the grains. The Brown rice function allows extra time and adjusted heat settings in order to cook the rice properly. If it appears the 8-Cup Traditional Rice Cooker is not heating up immediately when cooking brown rice, this is due to a low-heat soak cycle that precedes the cooking cycle to produce better brown rice results.
• Before placing the Inner Pot into 8-Cup Traditional Rice Cooker, check that the outside is dry and free of debris. Adding the Inner Pot when wet may damage the 8-Cup Traditional Rice Cooker.
• Cooking times are approximate. Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will change cooking times.
• Opening the Lid during the cooking cycle causes a loss of heat and steam. Cooking time may be prolonged if the Lid is opened before the rice is finished.

QUICK TIPS

• 1 measuring cup is about 2/3 U.S. cup. (Note Measuring Cup is included with unit.)
• This chart is only a general measuring guide. As there are many types of rice available, rice/water measurements may vary.
• Rinse rice prior to cooking to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce browning.
• To get perfect brown rice without the wait use the Delay Timer. Add rice and water in the morning and set the Delay Timer for when rice will be needed that night.
• For quinoa and steel cut oats, use caution to avoid escaping steam, open the Lid and stir occasionally with a long-handled wooden spoon.
• Default time is the preset function time, adjust as per your preference using + or – . Please refer to cooking time in chart.
• For better taste and textured oats, let oats sit for 5-10 minutes after cooking.
