IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your cooker, always follow basic precautions, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING
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 fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse
the cord, plug, or your cooker in water or any other liquid. See instructions for
cleaning.
4 Close supervision is necessary when you use your cooker by or near children.
5 Unplug your cooker from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Let
your cooker cool before removing or replacing parts and before cleaning.
6 Do not operate your cooker with a damaged cord or plug or after your cooker
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact customer service
for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7 The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer
may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury.
8 Do not use outdoors.
9 Household use only.
10 Do not immerse in water.
11 Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter or
table.
12 Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
13 Your cooker is intended for household use on a countertop.
14 Do not use your cooker for anything other than its intended purpose.
15 Use extreme caution when moving your cooker containing rice or liquids.
16 Do not touch, cover, or obstruct the steam vent on the top of your cooker as it
is extremely hot and may cause scalding.
17 Use only with a 120V AC power outlet. Never use an outlet below the counter.
18 Always unplug by gripping the electrical plug. Never pull on the cord.
19 Your cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other
operating cookers. If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances,
your cooker may not operate properly.
20 Always make sure that the outside of the inner cooking pot is dry prior to use.
If the inner pot is returned to your cooker when wet, it may damage or cause
your cooker to malfunction.
21 Use extreme caution when opening the lid during or after cooking. Hot steam
can escape and cause scalding.

Cooking rice
1 Rinse the rice to remove the excess starch, then drain.
2 Make sure that the outside of the cooking pot is dry and free of debris, then
place it into your cooker.
3 Add the rice and water. Using the measuring cup that came with your cooker,
you can add between 2 and 10 cups of uncooked rice.
For information about the rice to water ratio, see
table on page 8.
4 Press the lid down until it clicks into place.
5 Turn on your cooker, then press the Rice button. The Rice light turns on.
6 Press the On/Off/Start button. The On/Off/Start and Rice lights stay on and a
running circle appears on the display. After cooking is complete, your cooker
enters the temperature preservation mode and 0 to 12 hours appear on the
display. When 12 appears on the display, your cooker goes into Standby mode.
7 Press the lid release to open your cooker.
8 Stir the rice with the serving spatula to distribute any remaining moisture.
9 Unplug your cooker when it is not in use.
Tips:
• If you misplace the measuring cup, use a 3/4 measuring cup.
• To add more flavor to the rice, try substituting a favorite meat or vegetable
broth or stock. The ratio of broth or stock to rice is the same as water to rice.
• For suggested rice to water ratios, see
Rice and water measurement table on
page 8.
