120V AC electrical outlet only.

4. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.

5. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately
unplug the cord. Do not use or attempt to repair the mal­functioning appliance! Do not use the Inner Pot or Glass Lid if

container (Inner Pot). Do not pour liquid directly into the
Main Housing.

14. THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

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
in 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.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.

If a longer extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of
the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so that
it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Clean the Glass Lid, Inner Pot, Rice Paddle and Measuring Cup
following the Cleaning Instructions on page 13.

DO NOT IMMERSE THE HEATING BODY OF THE RICE COOKER
IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

READ BEFORE USING YOUR

FARBERWARE®AUTOMATIC

RICE COOKER FOR THE FIRST TIME.

• Read all instructions.

• Wash Inner Pot, Wire Steaming Rack, Glass Lid, FARBERWARE

®

Measuring Cup and Rice Paddle in warm, soapy water. Rinse
and dry well.

• Never immerse Main Housing in water.

• Never try to force the Selector Lever to stay in the COOK Mode

after it has moved up to the ON/WARM Mode.

• Never plug in the Cooker without first placing the Inner Pot

inside the Main Housing.

• Always be sure Inner Pot contains liquid, or be ready to add oil,

butter or margarine immediately to the Inner Pot when you plug
in the Cooker.

• Remember that the FARBERWARE

®

Measuring Cup is not a

standard measuring cup. When filled, it measures 3/4 cup.

• Never wash any removable parts of the Cooker in the

dishwasher.

• Save these instructions and refer to them often.

• If the outside of the Inner Pot is wet when placed into the

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

COOKING RICE

With the Automatic Rice Cooker, you can cook any kind of rice.

1. Measure the amount of rice that you would like to cook.
A 180 ml (3/4 cup) Measuring Cup is included with your

cooker. Filling the cup with rice makes approximately
2-1/4 cups of cooked rice.

NOTE: Make sure that the rice is leveled when the cup is filled.

The FARBERWARE

®

10 Cup Automatic Rice Cooker has the

capacity for 10 FARBERWARE

®

Measuring Cups of dry rice.

2. For Best Results...
Pour desired amount of rice into a separate container. Wash

and rinse the rice until the rinse water is clear.*

3. Take the Inner Pot out of the Rice Cooker.
Place the washed rice into the Inner Pot and add appropriate

amount of water. (If you are making 10 cups of dry rice, add
water to the “10” mark in the inside of the Inner Pot.)

4. Replace the Inner Pot back into the Automatic Rice Cooker’s
Main Housing.

Rotate it slightly to make sure that it is well seated on the
Heating Plate.

NOTE: Make sure to always wipe down the outer surface of the

Inner Pot. If the Inner Pot is wet when placed into the Cooker,
this may cause a cracking noise while the unit heats up. Keep
the outer surface dry to prevent damage to the inner workings
of the appliance.

5. Replace the Glass Lid.

CAUTION: Do not operate the Automatic Rice Cooker

without replacing the Lid. Burns or other serious
injury may occur.

* For information regarding rinsing rice, please refer to

GENERAL INFORMATION on page 10.

6. Plug the Automatic Rice Cooker into a 120V AC
electrical outlet.

Press the Rice Cooking Selector Lever down and the COOK
Light will illuminate. The cooking process begins as soon as the
Light illuminates.

7. When the Automatic Rice Cooker is done cooking, the WARM
Light will illuminate.

For best results, let the cooked rice sit for 15 minutes before
stirring or removing. This allows the steam to finish the
cooking process.

8. Mix the rice.
After rice has steamed for 15 minutes, carefully open the Lid as

steam will escape. Use the Rice Paddle provided or any other
non-metal long-handle utensil to scoop and mix the rice well.
Allow all steam to escape.

9. Keep Warm.
When the cooking is completed, the Automatic Rice Cooker

will automatically go into the WARM mode. At this time, the
WARM Light will illuminate.

Note: Do not warm rice for more than 12 hours.

It is recommended to consume the rice within a 12 hr. period.

If the WARM mode is not desired, simply unplug the Automatic
Rice Cooker from the wall. Do not touch the Main Housing or
Inner Pot until they have cooled completely.

10. Allow the Automatic Rice Cooker to cool completely
before cleaning.

11. When the Automatic Rice Cooker is not being used, please
keep it unplugged.
