near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to

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

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or

after the appliance malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged
in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the

appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

surfaces.

pot.

16. Do not place the unit directly under cabinets when operating as

this product produces large amounts of steam. Avoid reaching
over the product when operating.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or
injury to persons, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one

wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to
or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter­top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.

*Rice Cooker Cooking Time (approximate). Rice cooker will switch to WARM
after cooking time, indicating rice is cooked.

**Measured with 1-cup U.S. measure.

Chart is based on measuring rice and water with the rice measuring cup provided. If you lose the rice measuring cup, one rice measuring
cup equals 6 oz. (180 ml) or approximately 3/4 cup U.S. measure, or follow the recommended two parts water to one part rice.

There are many different types of rice. Cook time may vary based on actual amounts of rice to water. Rice packaging directions may call for
different amounts of rice and water from the above chart; following package directions may vary results. Adjusting the ratio of rice to water
may be necessary to get the texture of rice that you like.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

Cooker doesn’t turn
on.

Rice is not cooked.

Rice is mushy or
water overflows in
cooking.

PROBABLE CAUSE

• Cooker is not plugged in. Make sure rice cooker is plugged into a properly operating electrical
outlet.

• Not enough water/cooking liquid. Follow package directions or see Rice Cooking Chart for more
information.

• Carefully place cooking pot straight down in base. Make sure cooking pot is seated securely by
rotating the pot left and right. NOTE: If cooking pot is bent or warped, it will not seat properly
in base and, therefore, will not conduct heat correctly. To replace cooking pot, call the toll-free
Customer Assistance number listed on the cover of this guide.

• Too much liquid added to cooking pot. Reduce liquid.
