by or near children.

Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before
cleaning the appliance.

or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in
any manner.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by
Salton, Inc. may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

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 fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the
plug in any way.

Short Cord Instructions

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord.

Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is
used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it
will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Before Using For The First Time

Clean the Glass Lid, Inner Pot, Ladle and Measuring Cup
following the Cleaning Instructions on page 7.

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