SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
3. If a longer extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a
polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the

Traditional electric rice cookers heat only at one set temperature, then turn
off once all the water has been absorbed. Sensor Logic
™
rice cookers are
for true rice enthusiasts. This rice cooker uses an on-board fuzzy
micro-computer to ‘think’ for itself. By simply pressing the corresponding
function button, Sensor Logic
™
will optimize the cooking temperature of the
rice to enhance flavor and texture. The sensor monitors the boiling rate of the
water in the pot and controls temperature accordingly to provide the perfect
pot of rice, every time.
