SAFETY INFORMATION

1 Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or knobs. 2 Use only on a level, dry, and heat-resistant surface. 3 To protect against re, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse the cord, plug, or the rice cooker in water or

any other liquid. See instructions for cleaning. 4 Close supervision is necessary when the rice cooker is used by or near children. 5 Unplug your rice cooker from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the unit to cool before removing or

replacing parts and before cleaning the rice cooker. 6 Do not operate any rice cooker with a damaged cord or plug, or after the rice cooker malfunctions or has been damaged

in any manner. Contact customer service for examination, repair, or adjustment.

Before using your new product, please read these instructions to prevent any damage.

7 The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in re, electrical shock, or injury. 8 Do not use outdoors. 9 Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter or table. 10 Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven. 11 Do not use the rice cooker for other than its intended purpose. 12 Use extreme caution when moving the rice cooker containing rice or liquids. 13 Do not touch, cover, or obstruct the steam vent on the top of the rice cooker as it is extremely hot and may cause scalding. 14 Use only with a 120V AC power outlet. 15 Always unplug by gripping the electrical plug. Never pull on the cord. 16 The rice cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating rice cookers. If the electrical circuit is

overloaded with other appliances, the rice cooker may not operate properly.

17 Always make sure that the outside of the inner cooking pot is dry prior to use. If the inner pot is returned to the cooker

when wet, it may damage or cause the product to malfunction. 18 Use extreme caution when opening the lid during or after cooking. Hot steam can escape and may cause scalding. 19 Rice should not be left in the inner cooking pot with the Keep-Warm function on for more than 12 hours. 20 To prevent damage or deformation, do not use the inner cooking pot on a stovetop or burner. 21 To disconnect, remove the plug from the wall outlet.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the removable inner cooking pot provided. Short Cord Instructions

A short power cord is provided to reduce the risks of entanglement or tripping. If a longer extension cord is used: a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the rice cooker. b. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by

children or tripped over unintentionally.

Polarized power plug

• This rice cooker has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is

intended to t into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still

does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
