Kambrook Recommends Safety First

IMPORTANT: Please retain your
instruction book for future use.

At Kambrook, we believe that safe performance is the first priority in any
consumer product, so that you, our valued customer can confidently
use and trust our products. We ask that any electrical appliance that
you use be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention
placed on the following important operating instructions.

Important Safeguards For Your Kambrook
Rice Express Rice Cooker

• Carefully read all instructions before
operating the rice cooker for the first
time and save for future reference.

• Remove and safely discard any
packaging material and promotional
labels before using the rice cooker for
the first time.

• To eliminate a choking hazard for
young children, remove and safely
discard the protective cover fitted to
the power plug of this rice cooker.

• Do not place the rice cooker near
the edge of a bench or table during
operation. Ensure that the surface is
level, clean and free of water and
other substances.

• Do not operate the rice cooker on a
sink drain board.

• Always ensure the rice cooker is
properly assembled before use. Follow
the instructions provided in this book.

• Always operate the rice cooker on a
stable and heat resistant surface.

• Never plug in or switch on the rice
cooker without having the removable
cooking bowl placed inside the rice
cooker housing.

• Ensure the removable cooking bowl is
correctly positioned in the rice cooker
base before you commence cooking.

• Do not place the rice cooker directly
on a heat sensitive bench top, such as
a stone bench top, when cooking. This
type of bench top is heat sensitive to
uneven heat and may crack if heated
locally. To cook on a heat sensitive
bench top, place a chopping board
or heat proof mat underneath the rice
cooker.

• Use the removable cooking bowl
supplied with the rice cooker. Do not use
any other bowl inside the rice cooker
housing.

• Ensure the removable cooking bowl is
correctly positioned in the rice cooker
base before you commence cooking.

• Always have the glass lid placed
correctly into position on the rice
cooker throughout operation unless
stated otherwise in the recipe.

• The glass lid has been specially treated
to make it stronger, more durable and
safer than ordinary glass, however it
is not unbreakable. If struck extremely
hard, it may break or weaken, and
could at a later time shatter into many
small pieces without apparent cause.
