Save these instructions For household use only

WARNING: 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. This could result in injury or electric shock.

Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement 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 longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. 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.

Power Cord Safety Tips

1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the outlet.
3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4. Never use the product if the power cord shows signs of abrasion or excessive wear. Contact Chefman® Customer Support for additional guidance and support.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

California Proposition 65:
(Applicable for California Residents only) WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Do not place the appliance on a stovetop or any other heatable surface, even if stovetop is not on.
Doing so is a fire hazard.

How to Use the Rice Cooker

Before First Use

1. Remove all packaging materials, such as plastic bags and foam inserts. Check to ensure that all parts and accessories are included before throwing out packaging.
2. Read and remove any stickers on the rice cooker except for the rating label, which should remain on the unit.
3. Wipe the base with a clean, damp cloth and dry completely.
4. Use a sponge and warm, soapy water to wash the cooking pot, lid, measuring cup, and rice paddle. Dry thoroughly.

Quick Start: How to Make Rice

With its 10-cup cooked rice capacity and automatic functions, the rice cooker is great for making fluffy, perfectly cooked rice and grains.

1. Fill the included measuring cup with the desired amount of rice.(NOTE: The full measuring cup is 6 oz.) Then, add the rice to the cooking pot.

2. If cooking long-grain white rice: use the markings on the inside of the cooking pot as a guide to fill the pot with cold water, broth, or stock after the rice has been added. For example, if using 3 full measuring cups of rice, fill the pot with just enough liquid to cover the 3 cup measurement marking. If cooking other grains or types of rice: refer to the Cooking Chart on p. 11 to determine how much water to use.

3. Use the rice paddle to stir the rice, making sure the rice is evenly coated with liquid and distributed in a single layer in the cooking pot.

4. Gently lower the cooking pot into the rice cooker base. Cover the cooking pot with the lid and plug in the unit. CAUTION: The rice cooker base and lid will get hot. Always use the carrying handles and/or lid handle, and never place hands, face, or any other body part over the lid’s steam vent while the rice cooker is
   in use.

5. Switch the WARM/COOK switch to COOK. The red indicator light will illuminate, and the rice will begin cooking. Do NOT remove the lid or stir the rice during cooking. The cook time will vary based on the type and amount of rice used. One measuring cup of long-grain white rice takes about 20 minutes to cook, while 5 cups take about 40 minutes. Refer to the Cooking Chart on p. 11 for more details.

6. When the rice is cooked, the WARM/COOK switch will automatically switch to WARM and the indicator light will illuminate orange. This setting will remain on as long as the rice cooker is plugged in. TIP: For best results, allow the rice or grains to warm for 5 minutes with the lid on after cooking. This will help dry any remaining liquid.

7. Once complete, carefully remove the lid and allow steam to escape. CAUTION: Do not place hands, face, or any other body parts over the cooking pot when opening the lid, as hot steam will escape and can cause burns.

8. Use the rice paddle to fluff the rice, then scoop the rice and serve.
   (Do not use metal utensils to stir or scoop the rice, as they can scratch the cooking pot’s nonstick surface.)

9. When finished cooking, unplug the rice cooker to turn it off. Let it cool completely before cleaning and storing.

Cooking Tips

• When filling the measuring cup with rice or grains, fill it to the very top and level it off with the back of the rice paddle or another utensil. This will ensure a more accurate measurement.

• Rinse rice and grains before cooking. This will eliminate excess starch that has accumulated on the surface, and prevent rice and grains from sticking together when cooked. Use this method when trying to achieve a separate, cooked grain texture.

• For a deeper flavor, use a combination of water and broth or stock, or just broth or stock, to cook rice and grains.

• A little bit of salt goes a long way. Use unsalted broths and stocks when possible to better control the amount of added salt. If using water or unsalted broth or stock, you can stir in about ¼ tsp of salt per cup of rice before cooking. If using salted broth or stock, taste test when done and add salt if needed.

• Add a small amount of oil or butter before cooking. Rice and grains tend to foam up during cooking, but adding a little oil or butter will help prevent foaming.

• Allow rice or grains to keep warm, with the lid on, for 5 minutes. This will help dry any remaining liquid and allow the food to fully finish cooking. If the rice or grains are still a little sticky, close the lid and keep warm for several more minutes.

• Adjust water amounts as needed. If cooked rice or grains are a little mushy, use less water. If cooked rice or grains are a little dry, use more water.

• To use the steamer: Add water to the cooking pot, then place into the base. Place food in the steamer, then lower it into the cooking pot. Put the cover on and switch the rice cooker to COOK mode. Use a kitchen timer for cooking
  and manually switch pot to WARM mode when finished (it will not do so automatically).

• To make soup: Cut all ingredients into small (approx. 1.5-inch) pieces before cooking. We recommend sauteing aromatics, meats, and/or vegetables in a separate pan before adding to pot with liquids. Use a kitchen timer for simmering and manually switch pot to WARM mode when finished (it will not do so automatically). Serve or store the soup after no more than 30 minutes on WARM.

Keep it Clean
With its nonstick cooking pot and dishwasher–safe parts, the rice cooker is easy to clean and should be cleaned after each use.

1. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Use a sponge and warm, soapy water to wash the cooking pot, lid, measuring cup, and rice paddle. Dry thoroughly. The measuring cup and paddle can also be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher.
3. Wipe the base with a clean, damp cloth or paper towel. Do NOT put the unit in the dishwasher or submerge in water or any other liquid. Do NOT use abrasive cleansers, or you could damage the finishes.
4. Dry all parts completely before storing in a cool, dry place.
