Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical

appliances, including the following:
1. Important: Read all instructions

carefully before first use.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the

handles or knobs.

3. Use only on a level, dry and heat-

resistant surface.

4. To protect against electrical shock,

do not immerse cord, plug or the

appliance in water or any other

liquid.

5. Close supervision is necessary when

the appliance is used by or near

children.

6. Unplug from outlet when not in use

and before cleaning. Allow unit to

cool before putting on or taking off

parts and before cleaning the

appliance.

7. Do not operate any appliance with

a damaged cord or plug or after

the appliance malfunctions or has

been damaged in any manner.

Return the appliance to the nearest

authorized service facility for

examination, repair or adjustment.

8. The use of accessory attachments

not recommended by the

appliance manufacturer may result

in fire, electrical shock or injury.

9. Do not use outdoors.

10. Do not let cord touch hot surfaces

or hang over the edge of a counter

or table.

11. Do not place on or near a hot

burner or in a heated oven.

12. Do not use the appliance for other

than its intended use.

13. Extreme caution must be used when

moving the appliance containing

hot water or other liquids.

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 cooking pot is returned to

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 rice 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 any control to

“OFF”, then remove plug from wall

outlet.

23. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

cook only in the removable

container provided.
