IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or base unit in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by this appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot food, water or other hot liquids.
To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable container.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
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 plug in any way.

ELECTRICAL CORD

A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
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. In Latin America, by an authorized service center.

How to Use
This appliance is for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

Remove all packing material and stickers from the product.
Remove and save literature.
Wash and dry all removable parts as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING section of this manual.
Place appliance on a flat, stable surface.

COOKING RICE

Measure desired amount of rice to be cooked using rice measure provided; do not use 1- cup measuring cup. (The rice measure provided holds 2/3-cup uncooked rice ‒ about 5 oz. or 150 grams.) This rice cooker can cook up to 11⁄2 measures of rice and yield a maximum of about 3 cups of cooked rice.
Place rice in the cooking bowl.
Important: Use only the cooking bowl provided with this appliance to cook rice.
Using the water level markings on the inside of the cooking bowl as a guide, add amount of water that matches the amount of rice to be cooked. For example,
if preparing 1 measure of rice, add water to the 1-cup water level mark. Adding too much water may cause the appliance to boil over.
Add butter, oil and desired seasonings.
Note: The first time you prepare rice, use the handy RICE COOKING CHART on page 6. For softer, fluffy rice, add a little more water; for rice that is more firm and has a firmer texture, add a little less water.
Before placing cooking bowl into rice cooker, be sure the heating plate and outside surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Avoid having rice kernels or other ingredients fall into the rice cooker.
Insert cooking bowl into the rice cooker.
Place glass lid on the cooking bowl. For best results always keep glass lid on while cooking.
Important: As rice cooks, steam will escape through vent in lid. Place glass lid on rice cooker so steam vent is facing away from cabinets and walls. Do not place hand over steam vent while rice is cooking; the hot steam may burn.
Uncoil cord and plug into standard electrical outlet. The KEEP WARM indicator light comes on.
Press down the ON switch. The COOK indicator light comes on and cooking begins.
When rice is cooked, the COOK indicator light shuts off, the switch pops up and the rice cooker automatically switches to the KEEP WARM function. The KEEP WARM indicator light will stay on until the appliance is unplugged.
Note: Do not try to stop the rice cooker from switching to the KEEP WARM mode. Do not try to press the ON switch once the KEEP WARM cycle has begun.
For best results, let the cooked rice rest for 15 minutes, covered, to further steam the rice. If holding cooked rice longer than 30 minutes, stir rice occasionally to prevent browning of rice on the bottom of the cook bowl.
Just before serving, remove lid and fluff rice. Use serving scoop provided with appliance to prevent damage to nonstick surface of the cooking bowl.

Caution: When removing the lid, always lift it away from the body to prevent getting burned from the hot steam.

HEATING PACKAGED FOODS

Packaged foods, such as condensed and ready-to-serve soups, pasta products and stews may be heated in the rice cooker following these directions:

Place food to be heated into a cooking bowl.
Caution: Do not fill the cooking bowl higher than the maximum 1.5 cups marking on the cooking bowl.
Before placing cooking bowl into rice cooker, be sure the heating plate and outside surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Avoid having any food fall into the rice cooker.
Insert cooking bowl into rice cooker.
Place glass lid on the cooking bowl.
Note: For best results always keep glass lid on while cooking.
Uncoil cord and plug into standard electrical outlet. The KEEP WARM indicator light comes on.
Press down the ON switch. The COOK indicator light comes on and cooking begins. As the soup or stew heats, steam may come out through the vent on the glass lid.
Caution: Do not place hand over steam vent while rice is cooking; the hot steam may burn.
For even heating, stir mixture occasionally during cooking. Replace lid when stirring is completed.
Bring mixture to a boil. When heating prepared foods, the ON switch and the COOK indicator light are not intended to be an indicator of cooking time. Always use a kitchen timer and do not leave these foods unattended.
When cooking is completed, unplug unit. Do not keep cooked soups and stews in the KEEP WARM cycle.

RICE COOKING CHART

HELPFUL HINTS

Although the rice measure holds about 5 ounces of uncooked rice; the cooked rice is given in 8-ounce cup measures.
Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt. If using kosher salt, you may find you want to add a little more than if using table salt. Use about 3/4 tsp. Kosher salt to each cup of uncooked rice.
White rice should be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place.
Brown rice has a limited shelf life; store it for no more than 1 month before using.
Try using broth, stock or reconstituted bouillon in place of water for additional flavor. If you do, no additional salt may be necessary.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

Unplug the unit before cleaning and let it cool completely.
Never immerse the unit in water or other liquid.
Wash the cooking bowl, lid, serving scoop and rice measure in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads – they may scratch the nonstick surface or could result in poor contact with the heating plate.
Helpful Tip: Since the rice cooking bowl has a nonstick coating, try this method: add warm, soapy water and allow the bowl to stand for several minutes. This releases any food particles and with just a wipe of a sponge or plastic scrubber, the bowl is perfectly clean.
Wipe the interior of the unit with a dry cloth. Clean the outside surface with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
If water accidentally gets into the switch area or onto the heating plate, allow to dry thoroughly before using the rice cooker.
