• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an

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.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To
reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel. For service, repair or any questions
regarding your appliance, please call our Customer Service Line at 1-800-465-6070 (U.S. and Canada).

1) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
2) Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3) If an 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; and

in removable nonstick cooking bowl provided.
2. Use the water-level markings inside the cooking bowl as a guide for adding the
appropriate amount of water.
Important: Be careful not to add too much water as it may cause the unit to
boil over.
Note: Taste/hardness will vary depending on the quality/type of rice and length of time
it is cooked. For softer, fluffier rice, add a little more water. For firmer, crunchier rice, add a
little less water. See RICE COOKING CHART. You may need to experiment to suit your taste.
3. Before placing the cooking bowl into the rice cooker, make sure the heating plate and
outside surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry.
Important: Do not let loose rice or particles fall into the rice cooker.
4. Insert cooking bowl into the rice cooker. You might have to turn it slightly to the left
and right to ensure proper contact with the heating plate.

rice.
Note: If holding rice for longer than 30 minutes, stir occasionally to prevent browning of rice
on the bottom of cooking bowl.
12. Open the lid and stir the rice before serving.
Note: The condensation catcher will capture the drippings from the lid to keep water off the
countertop.

HELPFUL HINTS
• Although the rice measure holds about 5 ounces of uncooked rice; the cooked rice is given
in 8 ounce cup measures.
• Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt. If using kosher salt you
may find you want to add a little more than if using table salt. Use about 3/4 tsp. kosher
salt to each cup of uncooked rice.
• White rice should be kept in an airtight container in a cool dark place.
• Brown rice has a limited shelf life; store it for no more than a month before using.
• Try using broth, stock or reconstituted bouillon in place of water for additional flavor. If
you do, no additional salt may be necessary.
TO USE STEAMER BASKET

1. Pour about 1 1/2 cups of cold tap water into cooking bowl using standard liquid measuring
cup. Add seasoning, if desired.

Note: Before placing cooking bowl into rice cooker, be sure the heating plate and outside
surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Make sure no food falls into the rice cooker.
4. Close the lid. Press down until you hear a click.
Note: Always keep the lid closed on the rice cooker while cooking.
Important: As food cooks, steam will escape through the steam vent. Make

HOW TO PREPARE SOUPS AND STEWS
1. Select recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less. Use only boneless meats and poultry that are
cut into cubes no larger than 1 1/2 inches. It is not necessary to brown the meats before
cooking. As the soup or stew begins to cook, steam will come out of the vent in the lid.
Important: Do not place the appliance directly under your cabinets.
Note: When cooking rice or pasta in a soup, allow for additional liquid in the recipe.
Important: To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable
nonstick cooking bowl provided.
2. Combine meats, vegetables and liquids in the cooking bowl. Stir with a wooden or
plastic spoon until ingredients are blended well.
Note: Since most frozen vegetables cook very quickly, it is best to add them at the end
of the cooking time. Stir them into the soup or stew and allow the mixture to cook an
additional 5 to 10 minutes.
