• Make sure the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on the appliance’s rating label.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use potholders when removing cover or handling hot containers to avoid steam burns.

• To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or cooking unit in water or any other liquid.

• Extreme caution must be exercised when any appliance is used near children.

• Never yank the cord to disconnect the cooking unit from the outlet. Instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

• Do not operate any appliance if the cord is damaged. Do not use this appliance if the unit malfunctions, if it is dropped or has been damaged in any manner. In order to avoid the risk of an electric shock, never try to repair the appliance yourself. Take it to an authorized service station for examination and repair.

• The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock or injury.

• Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.

• Do not use this appliance for purposes other than the one for which it was designed.

• Do not let the electrical cord hang over the edge of the table or countertop, or touch hot surfaces.

DO NOT IMMERSE THE HEATING BODY OF THE RICE COOKER IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

This appliance has a polarized alternating current plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, as a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not insert fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still fails to fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE.

EXTENSION CORD USE

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

USING YOUR OSTER®MULTI-USE RICE COOKER

PREPARING YOUR RICE COOKER

• Remove any labels or stickers from appliance.

• Thoroughly wash Glass Lid, Inner Pot, Paddle, Steaming Tray and Measuring Cup in warm, soapy water before first use, then rinse and dry carefully.

USING YOUR MULTI-USE RICE COOKER

1. Make sure appliance is unplugged.

2. Measure raw rice for desired amount with the Measuring Cup (160 ml) provided.

3. Add rice to inner pot. One cup of the uncooked rice will make about two cups of

cooked rice. Unit allows for a maximum of 7 cups (1.2 L) uncooked rice.

4. By using the Measuring Cup, add proper amount of water to the rice inside the

Inner Pot (for every cup (160ml) of raw rice, add 1-1/2 cups of water). For stickier rice, add slightly more water. For fluffier rice, use slightly less water.

5. Set the Inner Pot into the Rice Cooker. Make sure that the Inner Pot sits directly in

contact with the heating plate by turning it slightly from right to left until it is seated properly. Cover with Lid. DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE UNCOVERED. STEAM IS GENERATED DURING USE.

6. Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet. Activate the Rice Cooker by pushing

down on the On-Switch Button. Make sure the Cook Light (red) is on.

7. After 15 minutes, stir rice. Lift and remove the Lid carefully to avoid scalding and

allow water to drip into the Inner Pot. Use the Paddle or another long handheld utensil to scoop and stir rice. After stirring, cover the Inner Pot with the Lid.

8. When your rice is cooked, the Rice Cooker will automatically switch to the warm

function and the Keep Warm Light (yellow) will turn on. The Rice Cooker will keep the rice warm until the unit is disconnected from the wall outlet.

9. The Rice Cooker will automatically keep rice warm at 140°F – 175°F (60°C – 80°C).

10. When the rice temperature dips below this range, the yellow Keep Warm Light will

turn off and the red Cook Light will turn on indicating that the heat preservation process has begun. When the rice temperature reaches 140°F, the Keep Warm Light (yellow) will once again turn on and the Cook Light (red) will turn off.

11. Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning. Disconnect the plug from

the wall outlet when not in use.
