Important Safeguards

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

1. Important: Read all instructions carefully.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or the appliance itself in water or other liquid
4. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by/or near children.
5. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow unit to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. 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.
7. Do not use attachments or accessories other than those supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. Incompatible parts create a hazard.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot burner or in a heated oven.
11. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
12. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock. Metal-scouring pads may also damage the finish.
13. Always unplug from the base of the wall outlet. Never pull on the cord.
14. The rice cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other oper- ating appliances. If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, this appliance may not operate properly.
15. Store the rice cooker in a cool, dry place.
16. Avoid sudden temperature changes when using the rice cooker.
17. Use only with 120V AC power outlet.
18. Always make sure the outside of the inner cooking pot is dry prior to use. If cooking pot is returned to cooker when wet, it will damage this product causing it  to malfunction.
19. Use extreme caution when opening the lid during or after cooking. Hot steam will escape and could cause burns.
20. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
21. Always attach plug to the appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.

Additional Safety Information

2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. 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 countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.
