IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short detachable power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.

How to Use
This appliance is for household use only.
1. Before first use, wash the cooking bowl, glass lid, steamer basket, condensation catcher,
serving scoop and measuring cup in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry well.
2. Place unit on a flat, stable surface.
Note: As the rice expands and cooks, steam will come out of the vent in the lid. Do not
place the rice cooker directly under your cabinets.
3. Measure desired amount of rice with the measuring cup provided. Add butter, oil
and/or seasonings as desired.
Note: The measuring cup provided is based on 5-1/2 oz. (150 g). Your rice cooker can
handle a maximum of 10 scoops of dry rice — yielding approximately 24, 8 oz. (227 g)
cups of cooked rice. The 5-1/2 oz. (150 g) cup is equal to approximately 3/4 of an 8 oz.
(227 g) cup.
Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable cooking bowl provided.
4. Place rice in the cooking bowl. Add water. Use the water-level markings inside
the cooking bowl as a guide for adding the exact amount of water. For example,
for 4 cups of uncooked rice, fill with water to water-level marking 4. 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 cooking guide (pages 5 and 6). You may need to experiment to suit your taste.
5. Before placing the cooking bowl into the rice cooker, be sure the heating plate
and outside surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Do not let loose rice
or particles fall into the rice cooker.
6. 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.
7. Place the lid on the rice cooker.
Note: Always keep the lid on the rice cooker while cooking.
8. Insert the detachable plug into the unit, then plug into a standard electrical outlet.
The WARM light comes on.
9. Push down the ON switch. The COOK light comes on and cooking begins. As the rice
expands and cooks, steam comes out through the steam vent on the lid.
Caution: Do not put your hand over the steam vent as you may get burned with the hot
steam.
10. Once rice is cooked, the COOK light turns off, the switch pops up and the rice cooker
automatically switches to the keep warm function. The WARM light comes on and stays
on, indicating serving temperature is maintained.
Note: The unit will stay in the keep warm cycle until it is unplugged. Do not try to prevent
the rice cooker from switching to the keep warm cycle. Do not immediately press the ON
switch again after it has begun the keep warm cycle.
11. After the switch pops up, leave the lid on for at least 15 minutes to further steam the
rice. If holding rice for longer than 30 minutes, stir occasionally to prevent browning
of rice on the bottom of cooking bowl.
12. Remove the lid and stir the rice before serving. The lid hook may be placed into the
hole in the handle with the lip of the lid resting on the condensation catcher to keep
water off of the countertop (A).
Caution: When removing the lid, lift away from your body as you may get burned with the
hot steam.
13. Unplug the unit when finished.

Care and Cleaning
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.
1. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
2. Never immerse the unit in water or other liquid.
3. Wash the cooking bowl, lid, steamer basket, condensation catcher, serving scoop and
measuring cup in warm, soapy water. If crusty rice sticks to the bottom of the cooking
bowl, soak it to loosen rice. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads—they
may scratch the nonstick surface and could result in poor contact with the heating plate.
4. Detach the cord. After it has thoroughly cooled, clean the unit by wiping the inside and
outside surfaces with a damp soapy cloth and dry thoroughly
5. If water accidentally gets into the switch area or onto the heating plate, allow to dry
thoroughly before using the rice cooker.
Important Tips:
• Do not keep small amounts of rice in the keep warm cycle for extended periods of time.
• During cooking, a thin crust may develop on the rice at the bottom of the bowl. If you do
not like rice with crust, you can easily peel it off from the nonstick cooking bowl and
discard it.
• Use the plastic serving scoop (or a wooden spoon) to stir and remove rice. Do not use
metal utensils that can scratch the nonstick cooking bowl.
