IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting from it being
grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.
Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other);
follow the instructions below:
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 supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

· Rice is too dry/hard after cooking
If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker
switches to Keep Warm, additional water and
cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on how
dry your rice is, add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir
thoroughly. Close the lid and press the White Rice
button. When cooker switches to Keep Warm mode,
open the lid and stir the rice to check the consistency.
Repeat as necessary until rice is soft and moist.
· Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking
If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the cooker
switches to Keep Warm, use the serving spatula to stir
the rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moistest)
part of the rice as well as release excess moisture.
Close the lid and allow to remain on Keep Warm
mode for 10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid
and stirring periodically to release excess moisture.
