IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical
appliances, including the following:

1. Important: Read all instructions carefully before first use.

2. Make sure the appliance is OFF when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning.

3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or the appliance
itself in water or other liquid.

4. Keep the appliance away from the children to avoid accidents.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow unit to cool
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the
nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

7. Do not use attachments or accessories other than those supplied or
recommended by the manufacturer. Incompatible parts create a hazard.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

11. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.

12. Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing rice or
other hot liquids.

13. Always unplug from the base of the wall outlet. Never pull on the cord.

14. The rice cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other
operating appliances. If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances,
this appliance may not operate properly.

15. Maximum rice capacity is 1.8 liters (volume capacity is 4.0 Liters) or 10 cups of
the provided measuring cup.

16. Avoid sudden temperature changes when using the rice cooker.

17. Use only with 120V AC power outlet.

18. Always make sure the outside of the inner cooking pot is dry prior to use. If
cooking pot is returned to cooker when wet, it will damage this product causing it
to malfunction.

19. Use extreme caution when opening the lid during or after cooking. Hot steam
will escape and could cause burns.

20. During the cooking and slow cooking stage, you may see steam coming from the
vents on the lids. This is normal. Do not cover, touch or obstruct steam vent.

21. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

22. Store rice cooker in a cool, dry place.

23. Use appliance on a level, dry, and heat-resistant surface.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk 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 counter

top 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 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.

This appliance is for household use only.
