POLARIZED PLUG
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. If the plug fits loosely into
the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts
inside. Do not attempt to service this product. 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
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 RICE COOKER. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally. Do not immerse base in water or other liquids.
No liability can be accepted for any damage caused by non-compliance with
these instructions or any other improper use or mishandling.
