SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the RICE COOKER. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. Do not immerse base in water or other liquids. No liability can be accepted for any damage caused by non-compliance with these instructions or any other improper use or mishandling.
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 plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new RICE COOKER! You are now the proud owner of an extremely versatile appliance.
You can expect perfect rice every time as well as prepare great soups and stews, steam vegetables and even bake a cake!

KNOW YOUR RICE COOKER

PREPARING YOUR RICE COOKER FOR USE
Clean the LID, INNER POT, STEAMING BASKET, RICE LADLE and MEASURING CUP, following the user maintenance instructions.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE HEATING BASE OF YOUR RICE COOKER IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.

HOW TO USE YOUR RICE COOKER

Measuring your rice is of extreme importance. Please do not discard the MEASURING CUP that is provided with this Rice Cooker. This MEASURING CUP included is the standard unit of measurement for this product. When this manual instructs you to add 7 cups of rice and add the corresponding amount of water to the “7” marking on the INNER BOWL, the instructions are referring to the MEASURING CUP that is included, not a standard kitchen measuring cup.

1. Measure the amount of rice you would like to cook. A 3/ 4 cup (180 ml) MEASURING CUP is included with your Rice Cooker. The MEASURING CUP included makes approximately 21/4 cups of cooked rice.
   NOTE: The Rice Cooker is capable of cooking up to 7 full MEASURING CUPS of uncooked rice. Many varieties of rice can be used, including basmati, wild rice, black rice, Arborio, risotto, saffron rice, short and long grain. Do not use instant rice with this Rice Cooker. Whole grains such as barley can also be prepared with the Rice Cooker. Follow package directions.

2. Wash the measured rice in a separate bowl until the water is clear.

3. Place rice in the INNER POT and add the corresponding amount of water. For example, if you are making 7 MEASURING CUPS of uncooked rice, add water to the “7” mark on the INNER BOWL.
   NOTE: Brown rice will take longer to cook than white rice.

4. Set the INNER POT into the Rice Cooker Heating Base. Make sure that the INNER POT is in direct contact with the HEATING PLATE inside the HEATING BASE by turning it slightly from left to right until it properly fits onto the HEATING PLATE.
   NOTE: If the outside of the INNER POT is wet when placed in the Rice Cooker, this may cause a crackling noise until the unit heats up. Also, this may damage the inner working of the appliance, so always wipe the outside of the pot completely before use.

5. Cover with the LID.
   WARNING: Do not operate this appliance uncovered – steam is generated during use that could cause burns or other serious injuries.

6. Plug the cord into a 120-volt AC electrical outlet. Switch the Rice Cooker to “COOK” Mode ON by pushing the POWER SWITCH down. Make sure the COOK INDICATOR LIGHT is illuminated. Steaming will begin shortly.

7. The POWER SWITCH will pop up and the KEEP WARM INDICATOR LIGHT will come on when all the water in the Rice Cooker has evaporated. When the KEEP WARM INDICATOR LIGHT is illuminated, the Rice Cooker is in the “KEEP WARM” Mode.
   NOTE: You may need to add more water and set the Rice Cooker to “COOK” more than once depending on your own personal tastes.

8. It is important to let the rice stand for 10-15 minutes of steaming without removing the LID. Carefully open the LID, taking care to avoid escaping steam. Use the RICE LADLE, or other long handled utensil, to mix the rice well to allow steam to escape.
   CAUTION: Steam will escape. Do not touch the INNER POT or HEATING PLATE in the HEATING BASE until they have cooled.

9. Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.

10. Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet when not in use.

HINTS FOR COOKING RICE

• Rinse rice – Bran gives an unpleasant smell to cooked rice. Besure to rinse rice thoroughly. Rinsing with water effectively removes bran quickly and thoroughly.
  NOTE: Some rice suppliers suggest not rinsing rice because vitamins may be lost.

• After every use, wash the INNER POT and LID in warm, soapy water.

• Rinse thoroughly and dry.

• DO NOT keep the Rice Cooker in operation:
  When there is only a small amount of rice left in the INNER POT.
  When RICE LADLE is inside the Rice Cooker.
  To warm up cold rice.

***** DO NOT let rice in the INNER POT boil dry.

HOW TO USE YOUR STEAM ING BASKET

1. Clean and prepare your food or vegetables.

2. Place the INNER POT in the Rice Cooker. The length of steaming time is subject to your own personal tastes: depending if you prefer al denté (crunchy) or more well done steamed vegetables.

3. Add water to the “3” mark on the INNER POT.
   NOTE: You are able to steam rice and vegetables/food at the same time, follow the instructions in HOW TO USE YOUR STEAMING BASKET WHILE COOKING RICE.

4. Place the STEAMING BASKET on the rim of the INNER POT.

5. Add vegetables or food and put the LID onto the appliance.
   Switch the Rice Cooker to “COOK” Mode by pressing the POWER SWITCH down. Make sure the COOK INDICATOR LIGHT is illuminated. Steaming will begin shortly. Allow food or vegetables to cook for the appropriate time as shown in in the STEAMING TIME Guide. Once appropriate time has expired, unplug the Rice Cooker.

6. Please unplug this appliance after use and allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.
   NOTE: The rice cooker doesn’t automatically turn to warm setting when steaming is done, watch time and manually stop cooking cycle.

HINTS FOR STEAM ING

1. The ingredients must be of superior quality.
2. Select lean cuts of meat that will result in tender food and require less cooking time.
3. Make sure that the LID is secured on the rice cooker to prevent escaping steam and requires longer cooking time.
4. DO NOT let food touch the water, or the food will boil not steam.
5. Always maintain the water level for continuous cooking.
6. Continue cooking foods that haven’t been cooked through or not cooked to your liking.

STEAMING TIME

The steaming times in this chart are a guide and should be adjusted to suit the different quantities or thickness of food and to suit your own taste.

***** Altitude affects the temperature at which water boils and thus the cooking time. It’s especially true at high altitudes where longer cooking times are necessary. We have outlined a general guide to follow. Test for desired consistency when cooking times indicated have been reached. As you cook with this appliance, adapt times and measurements to your own personal tastes.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR RICE COOKER

This appliance should be cleaned after every use.
Allow the rice cooker to cool completely prior to cleaning.

1. Unplug the Rice Cooker when not in use and before cleaning.
   Never immerse HEATING BASE, cord or plug in water or any other liquids. Allow the rice cooker to cool completely before cleaning.
   NOTE: Use the RICE LADLE or wooden utensil to stir and remove food from the INNER POT. DO NOT use any metal utensils.

2. To clean the HEATING BASE, lightly wipe the exterior with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

3. The INNER POT is coated with a non-stick coating to make clean up easier. To clean, remove the INNER POT from the Rice Cooker and fill with hot water from the tap. Let it sit for a while and then wash with hot soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

4. The MEASURING CUP, RICE LADLE, STEAMING BASKET and LID can be washed in warm, soapy water. They are not dishwasher safe.

5. Make sure that the grains of rice do not stick to the HEATING PLATE in the bottom of the HEATING BASE. If this occurs, remove immediately. If grains of rice are stuck onto the HEATING PLATE, a non-abrasive pad can be used to remove it. Polish the area for good contact between the HEATING PLATE and the bottom of the INNER POT.
   NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or steel wool to clean the Rice Cooker.

6. Do not use bleach, vinegar or other harsh chemicals to clean the Rice Cooker.
