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. Use the handles or knobs.
3. Use only on a level, dry and heat-resistant surface.
4. To protect against fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse the power cord, plug, or appliance in water or any other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.
5. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
6. Unplug from the wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the unit to completely cool before putting on or removing parts and before cleaning the appliance.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Aroma ®  customer service for examination, repair, or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Aroma ®  Housewares may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let the power 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 anything other than its intended use.
13. Use only a 120V AC power outlet.
14. Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing rice, hot oil, or hot liquids.
15. 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.
16. Always unplug from the plug gripping area. Never pull on the power 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 rice cooker may not operate properly.
18. 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.
19. Use extreme caution when opening the lid during or after cooking. Hot steam will escape and may cause scalding.
20. Food should not be left in the inner pot with the Warm function on for more than 12 hours.
21. Never use the inner pot on a stovetop or burner. This will cause damage or deformation to the inner pot.
22. To turn the unit off, press the ( ) button then safely remove the plug from the wall outlet.
23. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the removable inner pot provided.
24. Do not wrap or tie the power cord around the appliance.
25. Intended for countertop use only.

Short Cord Instructions

1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or 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 extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
   c.) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire cord.

Cook
Perfectly cooks fluffy, delicious white or brown rice automatically.

Warm
Automatically switches to Warm after the cooking cycle is completed; perfect for keeping the rice at ready-to-serve temperatures.

Before First Use

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

To Clean

1. Remove the inner pot when the cooker has completely cooled.
2. Hand washes the inner pot and all accessories or place them on the top rack of the dishwasher.
3. Wipe the cooker’s body clean with a damp cloth.
4. Thoroughly dry the cooker’s body, lid, and all accessories. Reassemble for next use.

Note:
We recommend hand washing the inner pot with warm, soapy water to lengthen its lifespan and avoid damage over time. If washing in a dishwasher, slight discoloration to the inner pot may occur. This is cosmetic and will not negatively affect performance. Any other servicing should be performed by Aroma ® Housewares.

Troubleshooting

Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.

• If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker switches to Warm, additional water and cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is, add ½ to 1  cup of water using the provided large 900mL measuring cup and stir thoroughly. Place the lid on and initiate another cooking cycle. When the cooker switches to Warm,   remove the lid and stir the rice to check the consistency. Repeat as necessary until the rice is soft and moist.

Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.

• If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the cooker switches to Warm, use the serving spatula to stir the rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moist) part of the rice as well as release excess moisture. Place the lid on and allow the rice to remain Warm for 10-30 minutes as needed, removing the lid and stirring periodically to release excess moisture.

Note:

• Because rice varieties may vary in their makeup, results may differ.

Internal Errors
If an internal error occurs, the following chart will help explain the next course of action.

Unplug the cooker and allow it to cool for 15  minutes, then plug it back in and restart. If the problem persists, contact Aroma ® Customer Service at 1-800-2766286.

Caution:
The rice cooker will not switch to Warm until all liquid has evaporated. Follow your recipe carefully and do not leave the rice cooker unattended.

Cooking Rice

1. Using the provided measuring cup(s), add white or brown rice to the inner pot.
2. Rinse to remove excess starch. Drain.
3. 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, refer to the “Rice & Water Measurement  Table” on page 8.
4. Place the inner pot into the cooker then place the lid on securely.
5. Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC wall outlet.
6. Press to turn the cooker on, then press Cook. The cook indicator light will illuminate as the cooker begins to heat.
7. When rice is ready, the cooker will automatically switch to Warm and the warm indicator light will illuminate.
8. For best results, stir the rice with the provided serving spatula to distribute any remaining moisture
9. When finished serving, turn the cooker off by pressing twice and unplug the power cord.

Note:

• Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, check that the inner pot is dry and free of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the cooker.
• Food should not be left in the cooker on Warm for more than 12 hours.

1 large 900mL measuring cup = 5 small 180mL measuring cups

Note:

• Rinse rice before placing it into the inner pot to remove excess bran and starch. This will reduce the chance of rice browning and sticking to the bottom of the inner pot.
• Cooking times are approximate. Altitude, humidity, and external temperature will affect cooking time.
• The minimum amount of rice this unit can prepare is 10 cups of uncooked rice. To prevent damaging the cooker, do not attempt to cook less than 10 cups of uncooked white or brown rice.
• Brown rice takes longer to cook and requires more water than white rice due to the extra bran layers on the grains. The water lines in the inner pot are meant for white rice only. Please see the chart above for brown rice-to-water ratios.
• Do not place more than 30 cups of uncooked rice (20 cups of brown rice) into this appliance at one time. The maximum capacity of this unit is 30 cups of uncooked rice (20 cups of brown rice) which yields 60 cups of cooked rice (40 cups of brown rice).
