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 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.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or 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 long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer 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.

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 rice measure 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 rice measure provided. Add butter, oil
and/or seasonings as desired.
Note: The rice measure provided is based on 5-1/2 oz. (150 g). Your rice cooker can
handle a maximum of 10 rice measures of dry rice — yielding approximately 20, 8 oz.
(227 g) cups of cooked rice.
Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable nonstick 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 appropriate amount of water. For
example, for 4 measures 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. Use the
"BROWN RICE" markings when cooking brown rice and "OTHER RICE" for all other
varieties.
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. Plug into a standard electrical outlet. The WARM light comes on.
9. Press 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
hanger 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.
VEGETABLE STEAMING
1. The steamer basket holds up to 8 cups of cut-up vegetables.
2. Fill the cooking bowl with about 1-1/2 cups (12 fl. oz./350 ml) of water, using
a standard measuring cup.
3. Place the vegetables in the steamer basket and position the basket on top of the
cooking bowl.
4. Place the lid on the rice cooker.
5. Insert plug into wall outlet and push down the ON switch.
6. Steaming times vary according to vegetable type. Begin checking vegetables
for doneness after initial 5 minutes. You may need to experiment to suit your taste.
7. Unplug the unit when finished.
Note: When steaming vegetables or other foods without rice in the cooking bowl, the unit
will not switch to the keep warm mode.
If desired, add seasonings and oil or butter with rice before adding water.
Allow rice to rest on warm at least 15 minutes before serving.

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
rice measure in warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring
pads—they may scratch the nonstick surface or could result in poor contact with the
heating plate.
4. 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 a crust, you can easily peel it off 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.
