product is warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of
(1) year from the original purchase date. This product warranty covers only the original consumer purchaser of the
product.
Warranty Coverage:
This warranty is void if the product has been damaged by accident in shipment, unreasonable
use, misuse, neglect, improper service, commercial use, repairs by unauthorized personnel, normal wear and tear,
improper assembly, installation or maintenance abuse or other causes not arising out of defects in materials or
workmanship. This warranty is effective only if the product is purchased and operated in the USA, and does not extend
to any units which have been used in violation of written instructions furnished with the product or to units which have
been altered or modified or to damage to products or parts thereof which have had the serial number removed,
altered, defaced or rendered illegible.
Implied Warranties:
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHICH THE PURCHASER MAY HAVE ARE LIMITED IN DURATION
TO ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
Warranty Performance:
During the above one-year warranty period, a product with a defect will be either repaired or
replaced with a reconditioned comparable model (at our option) when the product is returned to the Repair Center, or
the purchase price refunded. The repaired or replacement product will be in warranty for the balance of the one-year
warranty period and an additional one-month period. No charge will be made for such repair or replacement.
Service and Repair:
Should the appliance malfunction, you should first call toll-free 1 (800) 947-3744 between the hours
of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm Central Standard Time and ask for CONSUMER SERVICE stating that you are a consumer with
a problem. Please refer to model number TRC7 when you call.
In-Warranty Service (USA):
For an appliance covered under the warranty period, no charge is made for service or
postage. Call for return authorization (1 800 947-3744).
Out-of Warranty Service:
A flat rate charge by model is made for out-of-warranty service. Include $ 8.00 (U.S.) for
return shipping and handling. We will notify you by mail of the amount of the charge for service and require you to pay
in advance for the repair or replacement.

You may return the product insured, packaged with
sufficient protection, and postage and insurance prepaid to the USA address listed below. Please note that all customs

We cannot assume responsibility for loss or damage during incoming shipment. For your

items with your appliance: any accessories related to your problem, your full return address and daytime phone
number, a note describing the problem you experienced, a copy of your sales receipt or other proof of purchase to
determine warranty status. C.O.D. shipments cannot be accepted.

under this warranty, and in no event shall we be liable for any incidental or consequential damages, losses or

Possible Solutions
If none of these Trouble Shooting solutions are successful, contact our
Consumer Service Dept. at 800-947-3744 for further advice.
Steam escapes
between Glass
Lid and Inner
Pot during
cooking.
Check between the Glass Lid and Inner Pot for
foreign substances, including rice or grain kernels
that may prevent the Glass Lid from closing all the
way. Be sure the area is clean.
Warmed rice or
grain smells bad
or discolored.
For best results, don’t use the WARM option with
brown rice or other unrefined grains. The bran in
unrefined grains can “break down” when kept at
low heat for extended periods of time, causing an
unpleasant smell and taste.
Don’t warm rice for more than 12 hours.
Make sure the Glass Lid is properly centered in
position over Inner Pot when using the WARM
option.
Be sure to wash the Inner Pot after each use.
Make sure you don’t leave the Serving Rice Paddle
or other plastics in the Automatic Rice Cooker
while it is cooking or warming.
