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.

• For suggested rice to water ratios, see
Rice and water measurement table on
page 8.

Tips:
• Keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process. Opening the lid
causes a loss of heat and steam, resulting in a slower cooking time. If you
need to open the lid, add a small amount of water to help restore the
cooking time.
• Altitude, humidity, and outside temperature affect cooking times.
• Frozen vegetables take longer to cook.
• Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no
need to increase the amount of water with a larger serving of vegetables.
