NOTE
• When cooking brown or wild rice, add an additional 3/4 cup water.

• The measuring cup included is not an exact cup. Chart refers to cups of

rice/water based on the measuring cup provided.

• This is only a general measuring guide. As there are many different kinds of rice

available (see About Rice on page 3), rice/water measurement may vary slightly.

HELPFUL HINTS:

1. Rinse rice to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce browning and

sticking to the bottom of the pot, but it may also reduce nutrients in rice.

2. If you have experienced any sticking due to the type of rice you are using, try

adding a light coating of vegetable oil to the bottom of the inner pot before adding

rice.

3. For softer rice, allow rice to soak for 10-20 minutes prior to cooking.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. Important: Read all instructions carefully before first use.

2. Make sure the appliance is OFF when not in use, before putting on or taking off

parts, and before cleaning.

3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or the appliance

itself in water or other liquid.

4. Keep the appliance away from the children to avoid accidents.

5. 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.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the

appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance

to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

7. Do not use attachments or accessories other than those supplied or

recommended by the manufacturer. Incompatible parts create a hazard.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

11. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.

12. Extreme caution must be used when moving the apliance containing rice or

liquids.

13. Always unplug from the base of the wall outlet. Never pull on the cord.

14. The rice cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other

operating appliances. If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances,

this appliance may not operate properly.

15. Maximum rice capacity is 1.8 Liters (volume capacity is 4.0 Liters).

16. Avoid sudden temperature changes when using the rice cooker.

17. Use only with 120V AC power outlet.

18. Always make sure the outside of the inner cooking pot is dry prior to use. If

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

it to malfunction.

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

will escape and could cause burns.

20. During the cooking & slow cooking stage, you may notice steam coming from

the vents on the lids. This is normal.
