Important Cord Information
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). 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.
• A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. An extension cord may be used if care is properly exercised in its use.
• If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Become familiar with the various parts of the rice cooker (Fig. A) and read and follow the instructions carefully.
3. Wash the rice pot and accessories according to the “Care and Cleaning” instructions, steps 2 through 4 on page 5.
HOw TO USE
Important:
For proper heat
transfer between the rice cooker
base and the removable pot,
before each use, be sure the
bottom of the removable pot and
the heating plate within the rice
cooker base (Fig. B) are free of
debris. In addition, to prevent
electrical shock, be sure the
outside of the removable pot is
completely dry before placing it
into the rice cooker base.
To Cook Rice:
1. Place the rice cooker on
a dry, level, heat resistant
surface. To avoid steam
damage to cabinets, position
the rice cooker so it is not
directly under cabinets.
2. Open the rice cooker cover by pressing the cover release button (Fig. A) and lift the
hinged cover so it is in a fully upright position. Remove the rice pot if it is in place.
3. Using the rice measuring scoop provided, measure the desired amount of rice and pour
into the pot*. One level scoop of uncooked rice will yield 2 scoops of cooked rice. Note:
The rice measuring scoop provided is 180 ml or 6 ounces, the rice industry standard,
rather than 240 ml or 8 ounces.
4. Using the water measurement lines inside the pot (Fig. A), fill the pot with the appropriate amount of water (see the
chart below). For example, if cooking 2 measuring scoops of rice, add enough water to fill up to line 2 marked on the
pot. Note that the liquid measurement is also included in the chart, if you prefer to measure the water with a liquid
measuring cup. Water amounts may be adjusted for firmer or moister rice; see “Helpful Hints” on page 5. Never
exceed the “MAX” fill level. Overfilling may result in water boiling over the top of the rice pot.
5. Make sure the exterior of the rice pot is dry and clean. Then place the pot into the cooker base so it is centered and the
bottom is in direct contact with the heating plate (Fig. B). Failure to correctly position the pot may result in the rice
cooker malfunctioning.
Caution:
Never add water to the cooker base or cook without the pot in place.
*If desired, rice may be rinsed or soaked prior to cooking. See Helpful Hints on page 5.
