12. Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
13. Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing 

rice or hot liquids.

Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances, including the following:

14. 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.

15. Use only with a 120V AC power outlet.
16. Always unplug from the base of the wall outlet. Never pull on the cord.
17. The rice cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from 

other  operating appliances. If the electrical circuit is overloaded with 

other appliances, the appliance may not operate properly.

18. Always make sure 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.

19. Use extreme caution when opening the lid during or after cooking. Hot 

steam will escape and may cause burns.

20. Rice should not be left in the inner pot with the “Keep-Warm” function 

on for more than 12 hours.

21. To prevent damage or deformation, do not use the inner pot on a  

stovetop or burner.

22. To disconnect, turn control to “OFF,” then remove the plug from the 

wall outlet.

23. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the removable inner 

cooking pot provided.

24. To avoid spills and burns do not carry rice cooker by the lid handle.
