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.
