INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. NOTICE BEFORE INSTALLATION

1. Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

2. This rice cooker is designed either for use with Natural Gas or L. P. Gas. Make
sure that the type of gas to be supplied to this cooker matches that shown in the
rating plate in the unit.

3. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures
in excess of 1/2 psig.

4. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1 /2 psig.

proper operation of the Safety Valve:

(approximately 60-180 seconds). This click sound is the Safety Valve dropping

and hold down for approximately 10 seconds.
