SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). 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 plugin anyway. If the plug fits loosely into the
AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
- The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
- If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, 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 tripped over.
NOTE: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE: During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
CAUTIONS BEFORE USING:
- Only use this product with the correct AC voltage outlet. (Correct rated voltage see box and label at the bottom of the rice cooker.)
- Be sure to unplug AC cord when the pan is not in the cooker, or when the cooker is not being used. Remember the “KEEP WARM” feature operates whenever the cord is plugged in
- Place the inner pot inside the cooker before operating. Turn the pot gently to right and left to ensure proper fit.
- If the switch button is difficult to press to the “cook” position, do not try to force it down. This difficulty might occur when the inner pot is fully inserted in the cooker or when cooking has just finished.
- Place the lid on your inner pot while cooking, keep the lid in place after serving to prevent your rice from drying out or discoloring.
- Keep bottom of inner pot and surface of heater plate free of foreign matter to prevent operating malfunctions.
WARNING: The plug removed from the mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged into a live socket outlet.
