IMPORTANT: Read all instructions carefully before use.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or knobs.
Use only on a level, dry and heat-resistant surface.
To protect against ﬁre, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plug or the appliance in water or any other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.
Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
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.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Aroma® customer service for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Aroma® Housewares may result in ﬁre, electrical shock or injury.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter or table.
Do not place on or near a hot burner or in a heated oven.
Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing rice, hot oil or other liquids.
Do not touch, cover or obstruct the steam vent on the top of the cooker as it is extremely hot and may cause scalding.
Use only with a 120V AC power outlet.
Always unplug from the plug gripping area. Never pull on the cord.
The 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.
Always make sure the outside of the inner 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.
Use extreme caution when opening the lid during or after cooking. Hot steam will escape and may cause scalding.
Rice should not be left in the inner pot with the Warm function on for more than 12 hours.
To prevent damage or deformation, do not use the inner pot on a stovetop or burner.
To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.

Do not wrap or tie the power cord around the appliance.
CAUTION: Intended for countertop use only.
CAUTION: Do not use for deep frying.
To prevent damage or deformation, do not use the inner pot on a stovetop or burner.

Before First Use

Read all instructions and important safeguards.
Remove all packaging materials and check that all items have been received in good condition.
Tear up all plastic bags and dispose of them properly as they can pose a risk to children.
Wash the lid and all other accessories in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Remove the inner pot from the cooker and clean with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before returning to the cooker.
Wipe the cooker body clean with a damp cloth.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer extension cord is used:
- a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
- b. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other); follow the instructions below:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to ﬁt into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not ﬁt fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualiﬁed person in order to avoid a hazard.

Rice & Grain

Using the provided rice measuring cup, add rice or grain to the inner pot.
For white or brown rice, rinse for 10 seconds and drain the water. Repeat this process at least 2 times, or until the water runs clear.
For white rice, ﬁll the inner pot with water to the line that matches the number of cups of uncooked rice added. For brown rice, see the “Rice ˛ Water Measurement Table.”
Place the inner pot into the cooker then place the lid on securely.
Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC wall outlet.
Press the cook switch down. The cook indicator light will illuminate as the cooker begins heating.
Once rice is ready, the cook switch will automatically flip up and the cooker will switch to Warm.
For best results, stir the rice with the serving spatula to distribute any remaining moisture.
When ﬁnished serving, turn the cooker off by unplugging the power cord.

Note:

Before placing the inner pot into the rice cooker, check that the inner pot is dry and free of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the rice cooker.
Rice should not be left in the rice cooker on Warm for more than 12 hours.
We recommend hand washing the inner pot with warm, soapy water to lengthen its lifespan and avoid damage over time.

Helpful Hints:

For best results, we recommend rinsing rice and grains in a bowl of water before cooking. Avoid using a strainer or colander, which may not be as effective in removing excess starch and may a˜ect the final texture. If you misplace the measuring cup, a ¾ standard U.S. cup is an exact replacement. To add more ﬂavor to rice, try substituting a favorite meat or vegetable broth or stock. The ratio of broth/stock to rice will be the same as water to rice. For approximate rice cooking times and suggested rice/water ratios, see the “Rice ˝ Water Measurement table” below.
