(Failure to observe this precaution could cause the rice 

cooker to fail or keep it from cooking well.)

Do not place the inner pot directly on a flame, heat it in a microwave oven, or 

on a magnetic cooking surface, etc.

(Failure to observe this precaution could cause the inner pot to deform or the fluorine coating 

to come off.)

Do not cover the lid with a dish cloth or towel.

(Failure to observe this precaution could cause the rice cooker to discolor, deform, or fail.)

Stop using the rice cooker or inner pot if it is dropped or damaged and have it inspected and repaired 

by the dealer where you purchased it.

Do not use the rice cooker close to a television, radio, interphone, or cordless telephone. (Failure to 

observe this precaution could cause noise and image distortion in the other devices.)
