IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, when using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or the rice cooker base in water or other liquid.
4. To avoid electrical shock, cook only in the provided removable pot. Never exceed the “MAX” ll level.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or in the event the appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the Presto Factory Service Department for examination, repair, or
adjustment.
8. To avoid steam burns, keep hands and face away from the steam vent during use. In addition, use extreme caution
when opening the cover during and after cooking.

Important Cord Information
• 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 qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• 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 properly 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 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.
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Become familiar with the various parts of the rice cooker (Fig. A) and read and follow the instructions carefully.
3. Wash the rice pot and accessories according to the “Care and Cleaning” instructions, steps 2 through 4 on page 5.

To Cook Rice:
1. Place the rice cooker on
a dry, level, heat resistant
surface. To avoid steam
damage to cabinets, position
the rice cooker so it is not

directly under cabinets.
2. Open the rice cooker cover by pressing the cover release button (Fig. A) and lift the
hinged cover so it is in a fully upright position. Remove the rice pot if it is in place.
3. Using the rice measuring scoop provided, measure the desired amount of rice and pour
into the pot*. One level scoop of uncooked rice will yield 2 scoops of cooked rice. Note:
The rice measuring scoop provided is 180 ml or 6 ounces, the rice industry standard,
rather than 240 ml or 8 ounces.
4. Using the water measurement lines inside the pot (Fig. A), ll the pot with the appropriate amount of water (see the
chart below). For example, if cooking 2 measuring scoops of rice, add enough water to ll up to line 2 marked on the
pot. Note that the liquid measurement is also included in the chart, if you prefer to measure the water with a liquid
measuring cup. Water amounts may be adjusted for rmer or moister rice; see “Helpful Hints” on page 5. Never
exceed the “MAX” ll level. Overlling may result in water boiling over the top of the rice pot.
5. Make sure the exterior of the rice pot is dry and clean. Then place the pot into the cooker base so it is centered and the
bottom is in direct contact with the heating plate (Fig. B). Failure to correctly position the pot may result in the rice
cooker malfunctioning.
Caution: Never add water to the cooker base or cook without the pot in place.
