IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
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.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
c) If an 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.
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.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

How to Use
This appliance is for household use only.
1. Before first use, wash all parts as instructed in the Care and Cleaning section.
2. Place unit on a flat, stable surface.
Note: As the rice expands and cooks, steam will come out of the vent in the condensation
catcher. Do not place the rice cooker directly underneath your cabinets or too close
to a wall.
3. Open the lid by pressing the lid release button (A).
4. Measure desired amount of rice with the rice measure
provided.
Note: The rice measure provided is based on 6 oz. (170 g).
Your rice cooker can make up to 10 rice measures of dry rice
— yielding approximately 20-24 cups of cooked rice.
Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only
in the removable cooking bowl provided.
5. Place rice in the cooking bowl and add water. You can also use any liquid, such as
broth, stock or fruit juice as part or all of the liquid for cooking the rice.
6. Use the water-level markings inside the cooking bowl as a guide for adding the exact
amount of water. For example, for 4 measures of uncooked rice, fill with water to waterlevel 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, amount of liquid and
length of time it is cooked. Follow the instructions in the Rice Cooking Guide on pages
5 - 7. For softer, fluffier rice, add a little more water. For firmer, crunchier rice add a little
less water. You may need to experiment to suit your taste.
7. 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.
8. Insert cooking bowl into rice cooker. You might have to turn it slightly to the left and
right to ensure proper contact with the heating plate.
Note: Do not place the rice cooker directly under your cabinets or too close to a wall.
9. Close the lid. Press down until you hear a click.
Note: Always keep the lid closed while cooking.
10. Plug unit into a standard electrical outlet. The Warm light will come on.
11. Press the Cook button to begin cooking (B). As the rice
expands and cooks, steam comes out through the steam
vent on the condensation catcher.
Caution: Do not put your hand over the steam vent as you
may get burned by the hot steam.
12. Once the rice is cooked, the rice cooker automatically
switches to the Warm cycle.
Important: The unit will stay in the Warm cycle until
it is unplugged. Do not try to prevent the rice cooker from switching to the Warm mode.
Do not immediately press the Cook button again after it has begun the Warm cycle.
13. After the unit switches to Warm, leave the lid closed for at least 15 minutes to further
cook the rice.
14. Open the lid by pressing the lid release button. Fluff the rice with the serving scoop
before serving.
15. Unplug the unit when finished.
Important: Allow unit to cool completely before cooking another batch of rice, or to use
the steamer basket after rice has been cooked.

EMPTYING CONDENSATION CATCHER
1. Remove and empty the condensation catcher after
each use.
2. To clean the condensation catcher, remove it by inserting
your hand into the opening from underneath it. Grip the
condensation catcher and pull up (C).
3-HEATER SYSTEM
The improved 3-Heater System warms from the top, sides, and bottom so that rice may be
held for up to 18 hours while remaining moist and fluffy throughout.
STEAMING BASKET
1. The steamer basket holds up to 8 cups of cut-up vegetables or other foods.
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 vegetables or other food in the steamer basket, and position the basket on top
of the cooking bowl.
4. Close the lid. Press down until you hear a click.
Note: Always keep the lid closed while cooking.
5. Plug unit into a standard electrical outlet. The Warm light will come on.
6. Press the Cook button to begin cooking.
7. Steaming times vary according to vegetable or food type. Begin checking for doneness
after initial 5 minutes. You may need to experiment to suit your taste.
8. 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 Warm mode.
Important Tips:
• 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.
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 lid, condensation catcher, steaming basket, serving scoop, and rice measure
in warm, soapy water or place in the top rack of the dishwasher.
Note: The cooking bowl has an aluminum outer surface, therefore, it is best to wash it by
hand. If washed in the dishwasher, the outer aluminum surface may become cloudy, but
will not affect cooking.
4. 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.
5. Clean the unit by wiping the inside and outside surfaces with a damp soapy cloth and
dry thoroughly.
6. If water accidentally gets into the button area or onto the heating plate, allow to dry
thoroughly before using the rice cooker.
