HOW TO USE

Before First Use:

1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.

2. Remove all packaging materials and make sure items are received in good

condition.

3. Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.

4. Wash accessories in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

5. Remove inner pot from rice cooker and clean with warm soapy water. Rinse

and dry thoroughly before returning to cooker.

6. Wipe body clean with a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

Do not immerse the rice cooker, cord or plug in water at any time.

To Cook Rice:

1. Using the measuring cup provided, measure and add rice to the pot. One level

Aroma measuring cup equals one cup on the rice/water measurement chart

included on

page 7

.

2. Rinse rice in the inner pot until water becomes relatively clear, then drain.

3. Using the water measurement lines inside or the measuring cup, add

appropriate amount of water.

4. Replace lid and plug power cord into outlet.

5. Press switch down to start the cooking process. The cook light will illuminate.

When rice is complete, it will automatically switch to warm mode and the warm

light will illuminate.

6. After cooking, allow rice to stand for 5-10 minutes without removing lid. This will

ensure that rice is cooked thoroughly.

To Steam Food:

1. Measure the desired amount of water into the inner pot. A convenient steaming

guide has been included on

page 8

.

2. Place steam tray inside rice cooker.

3. Place food in tray and press switch to cook mode. When steaming is complete,

it will automatically switch to warm mode. We recommend keeping food on

warm mode no longer than 5-10 minutes to avoid over cooking.

CAUTION:

• Do not open lid when in use as it will delay cooking time and will release hot

steam, which may cause burns.

• If cooking pot is returned to cooker when wet, it will damage this product

causing it to malfunction.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in

their use.

3. If a longer extension cord is used:

a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great

as the electrical rating of the appliance.

b. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter

top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over

unintentionally.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a

polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other); follow

the instructions below:
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 appliance is for household use only.
