IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

❑ Read all instructions.
❑ Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
❑ To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs or

appliance in water or other liquid.

❑ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near

children.

❑ Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool

before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

❑ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the

appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair
or adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of
this manual.

❑ The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance

manufacturer may cause injuries.

❑ Do not use outdoors.
❑ Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
❑ 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 appliance containing hot

oil or other hot liquids.

❑ Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To

disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.

❑ Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
❑ To reduce the risk of fire, cook only in removable container.
❑ Make sure base is properly assembled to cooking vessel. See instructions

regarding assembly on page 6.

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.

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 user­serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service
personnel.

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.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

MAKING RICE
Important: As the rice expands and cooks, steam will come out of the vent in the

lid. Do not place the multicooker directly under your cabinets.
Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable pan

provided.
Caution: Do not operate the multicooker without the cooking base attached.

1. Measure desired amount of rice with the rice measure provided.

Note: The rice measure provided is based on 5½ oz. Your multicooker can cook
a maximum of 11 measures of dry rice – yielding approximately 8 oz. (by volume)
or 6 oz. (by weight) for each cup of cooked rice.

2. Place rice in the removable pan. Add water or other liquid, such as stock, broth
or fruit juice. Use the water level markings inside the removable pan as a guide
for adding the right amount of water. Use the "BROWN RICE" markings when
cooking brown rice and "WHITE RICE" for all other varieties.

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, the amount

of water used and length of time the rice is cooked. 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.

3. Add butter, oil and/or seasonings as desired.

4. Place the lid on the removable pan with the opening of the vent on the lid facing
away from you, and not toward your cabinets.

Note: Always keep the lid on the multicooker while cooking rice.

5. Plug into a standard electrical outlet. Two dashes will appear on the digital
display.

6. Press the ON/OFF button; the word ON will appear in the display

Caution: Do not put your hand over the steam vent as you may get burned with
the hot steam.

serving, unplug the probe from the wall,
then remove the digital control probe. Press
the pan release button on the left side of
the base. Tilt the removable pan up on the
opposite side of the probe to disengage the
probe socket from the base (C). Using pot
holders, lift the removable pan up by both

C

handles.

Caution: Be careful when removing the pan for serving, as it will still be warm
from cooking. Do not remove the pan from the base when making a stew or any
other food which contains a large amount of liquid.

PREPARING SOUPS & STEWS
Note: Use only boneless meats and poultry that are cut into cubes no larger than 1½

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 multicooker directly under your cabinets.
Note: When cooking rice or pasta in the stew, allow for additional liquid in the recipe.
Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable pan provided.
Note: Do not ll removable pan with oil above the MAX ll line inside the pan. Oil

should only be used up to the MAX ll line.

1. Before placing the removable pan onto the base, be sure the heating plate and
outside surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Do not let loose particles
fall into the base.

is ashing or illuminated below the desired temperature setting.

7. If desired, you can brown meats or sauté vegetables in the appliance. Once
the appliance is turned on, select the desired temperature. (For browning and
sautéing, select 350ºF.) Do not crowd meats to prevent steaming.

8. Combine meats, vegetables and liquids in the removable pan. Stir with a wooden
or plastic spoon until ingredients are well blended.

of the cooking time. Stir them into the soup or stew and allow the mixture to cook an
additional 5 to 10 minutes.

Caution: Do not ll removable pan higher than the maximum cooking line on the
removable pan.

9. Place the lid on removable pan.
