IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
-
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
the cord, plug, or the rice cooker in water or any other liquid. See instructions
for cleaning. -
Close supervision is necessary when the rice cooker is used by or near
children. -
Unplug your rice cooker from the outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow the unit to cool before removing or replacing parts and
before cleaning the rice cooker. -
Do not operate any rice cooker with a damaged cord or plug, or after the rice
cooker malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact customer
service for examination, repair, or adjustment. -
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury. -
Do not use outdoors.
-
Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a
counter or table. -
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated
oven. -
Do not use the rice cooker for other than its intended purpose.
-
Use extreme caution when moving the rice cooker containing rice or
liquids. -
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. -
Use only with a 120V AC power outlet.
-
Always unplug by gripping the electrical plug. Never pull on the cord.
-
The rice cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit
from other operating rice cookers. If the electrical circuit is overloaded
with other appliances, the rice cooker may not operate properly. -
Always make sure that 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. -
Use extreme caution when opening the lid during or after cooking.
Hot steam can escape and may cause scalding. -
Rice should not be left in the inner cooking pot with the Keep-Warm
function on for more than 12 hours. -
To prevent damage or deformation, do not use the inner cooking pot
on a stovetop or burner. -
Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into
the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove
the plug from the wall outlet. -
Household use only.
-
Do not immerse in water.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the
removable inner cooking pot provided.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Polarized power plug
This rice cooker 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 plug in any way.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension
cord is used:
-
The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as
great as electrical rating of the appliance. -
The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter or table top where it could be pulled on by children or tripped
over unintentionally. -
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord
should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Rice/water measurement table
*Rice Cooker Cup = 3/4 cup.
Notes:
- The water lines in the inner pot are for white rice only.
- Do not place more than seven cups of uncooked rice into the rice cooker at
one time. The maximum capacity is seven rice cooker cups of uncooked
rice which yields 14 rice cooker cups of cooked rice.

Helpful hints:
-
Keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process.
Opening the lid causes a loss of heat and steam, resulting in a
slower cooking time. If you need to open the lid, add a small
amount of water to help restore the cooking time. -
Altitude, humidity, and outside temperature affect cooking
times. -
Frozen vegetables take longer to cook. only absorb a small amount of water,
there is no need to increase the amount of water with a larger
serving of vegetables. -

Cooking rice and steaming food at the same time
A convenient feature of this rice cooker is its ability to both cook rice and
steam
food simultaneously, which makes it ideal for creating delicious all-in-one
meals.
-
Remove the inner pot and add the desired amount of rice and water. Note: Do not attempt to cook more than seven cups (uncooked) white or brown
rice if simultaneously using the steam tray or the steam tray will not fit once the
rice cooks. -
Make sure that the inner pot is dry and free of debris, then place it into the
rice cooker. -
Refer to the steaming guides for vegetables (on page 8) or meat (on page 8)
for approximate steaming times. It is best to insert the food to be steamed
toward the end of the rice cooking cycle so that your meal is fresh and warm
all at once. -
Add the vegetables or meat into the steam tray, then open the lid,
using caution as steam escaping will be extremely hot, and place the
steam tray into the rice cooker. -
Close the lid and allow the cooker to resume cooking.
-
Once food has steamed for the correct length of time, open the lid. Caution: Use caution when opening the lid as steam escaping will be extremely hot.
-

Note: It is possible to begin steaming food at any point during the rice
cooking
cycle. However, it is recommended that you steam food toward the end of the
cycle so that the steamed food does not grow cold or become soggy before the
rice is ready.

begin
cooking.
2 Using caution to avoid escaping steam, remove the lid and
stir occasionally with a long-handled wooden spatula.
