When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use pot holders when removing cover or handling hot containers. Use handles or knobs.

3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or heating unit in water or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking o parts, and before cleaning.

7. The use of accessory attachments is not recommended and may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch heated surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

11. Extreme caution must be used when moving any appliance containing hot

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 marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the Rice Cooker. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. Do not immerse base in water or other liquids.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance 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. If the plug ts loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

HOW TO:

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

1 Remove all packaging materials before using. 2

Wash LID, INNER POT, RICE LADLE and MEASURING CUP in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. See Care and Cleaning.

DO NOT IMMERSE THE HEATING UNIT OF YOUR RICE COOKER IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.

USING YOUR RICE COOKER

NOTE: Measuring your rice is of extreme importance. Please do not discard the OsterTM MEASURING CUP included with this unit. This is a “rice cooker” MEASURING CUP, not a standard U.S. MEASURING CUP. One rice cup of the OsterTM MEASURING CUP included with this unit is equal to 5.33 ounces of uncooked rice. The rice cooker is capable of cooking up to 3 full “rice cooker” OsterTM measuring cups of uncooked rice, or 6 (5.33oz) OsterTM cups of cooked rice. Do not use instant rice with this unit.

1 Measure the amount of rice you would like to cook. 2 Wash the measured rice in a separate bowl until water is clear. 3 Place rice in the INNER POT and add the corresponding amount of

water. For example, if you are making 3 OsterTM cups of uncooked rice, add water after adding rice to the “3” mark on the INNER BOWL.

NOTE: Brown rice will take longer to cook than white rice. 4 Set the INNER POT into the rice cooker. Make sure that the INNER

POT is in direct contact with the HEATING UNIT by turning it slightly from left to right until it properly ts onto the HEATING UNIT. NOTE: Make sure the outside of the INNER POT is completely dry before placing into the heating unit.

5 Cover with the LID. WARNING: Do not operate this appliance

uncovered—steam is generated during use that could cause burns or other serious injury.

6 Plug the cord into a 120-volt AC electrical outlet. Switch the rice

cooker ON by pushing the button down. Make sure the COOK indicator light is illuminated. Steaming will begin shortly.

7 The switch will pop up and the KEEP WARM indicator light will come

on when all the water in the RICE COOKER has evaporated. NOTE: You

may need to add more water and set the rice cooker to COOK more than once depending on your own personal tastes.

8 After cooking, the KEEP WARM indicator light will illuminate. It is

important to let the rice stand for 10-15 minutes of steaming without removing the LID. Carefully open the LID, taking care to avoid escaping steam. Use the RICE LADLE, or other long handled utensil, to mix the rice well to allow steam to escape.

Do Not Use Metal Utensils.

CAUTION: Steam will escape. Do not touch the INNER POT or heating unit until they have cooled.

9 Allow the appliance to cool completely and unplug before cleaning. 10 Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet when not in use.

COOKING HINTS

• Rinse rice - Bran gives an unpleasant smell to cooked rice. Be sure to

rinse rice thoroughly. Rinsing with water eectively removes bran quickly and thoroughly.

NOTE: Some rice suppliers suggest not rinsing rice because vitamins may be lost.

• After use, wash the INNER POT and LID in warm, soapy water.

• Rinse thoroughly and dry.

• Do not keep the rice cooker in operation:

- When there is only a small amount of rice left in the POT.

- When rice ladle is inside the rice cooker.

- To warm up cold rice. * DO NOT let water in the INNER POT boil dry.

How To Use Your Steaming Basket (included with select models only)

1 Clean and prepare your food or vegetables. 2 Place the INNER POT in the HEATING UNIT. The length of steaming

time is subject to your own personal tastes: depending if you prefer al denté (crunchy) or more well done steamed vegetables.

Measure appropriate amount of water and add to INNER POT. NOTE: You are able to steam rice and vegetables/food at the same time with the STEAMING BASKET resting on the INNER POT.

4 Place the STEAMING BASKET on the rim of the INNER POT. 5 Add vegetables or food and put the LID onto the appliance. Switch

to COOK position for the appropriate time as shown in the chart on page 8.

6 Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet.
