POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does

BEFORE FIRST USE
Wash the Rice Bowl, the Lid, the Measuring Cup and the Spatula in warm, soapy

HOW TO COOK RICE
IMPORTANT : Before each use, make sure that the outside of the Rice Bowl is
clean, dry and free of any grains of rice so that the underside of the Rice Bowl
makes good contact with the Heating Plate inside the Rice Cooker. Also ensure
that the Heating Sensor in the center of the Heating Plate is clean, dry
and cool.
Handle the Rice Bowl carefully. Scratching, denting or bending the Rice Bowl
out of shape may result in unsatisfactory performance.
NOTE: There are differing opinions about whether rice should be washed
before cooking. Those in favour argue that this washes away the starch
content and ensures non-sticky grains. Those against feel valuable soluble
vitamins and minerals are lost. Drier, fluffier rice is obtained by pre-washing
rice. To pre-wash rice, rinse uncooked rice in Rice Bowl with cold water and
drain thoroughly.
1. Measure rice and water and place evenly in Rice Bowl. NEVER PUT ANY
LIQUID INTO THE BASE.
2. Place Rice Bowl in Base, and Lid on Rice Bowl.
3. Plug cord into a 120 Volt AC outlet.
4. Depress the Switch to start cooking and the red Cooking Indicator Light
will glow. When cooking is complete, the Switch will move to the 'Warm'
position and the amber Indicator Light will glow. Fluff rice with the
spatula as soon as the red light goes out. The rice can be served
immediately or close the Lid and leave the rice in the Rice Cooker.
It is not recommended to use the 'WARM' cycle for longer than 2 hours.
IMPORTANT:
YOUR RICE COOKER WILL REMAIN IN THE 'WARM' CYCLE UNTIL IT IS
MANUALLY TURNED OFF.
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO UNPLUG FROM THE WALL OUTLET WHEN YOU ARE
DONE USING YOUR RICE COOKER.
NOTE: Before removing the Rice/Cooking Bowl from the Rice Cooker, always
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Other Variations
To make plain rice more exciting, prepare rice in Rice Cooker, as directed, to
obtain about 4 cups of cooked rice. Then use one of the following variations:
• Stir in 1/2 cup (125 ml) shredded carrot and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) mar
garine or butter, melted.
• Stir in 1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped or sliced ripe or pimento-stuffed olives.
• Cook 2 tablespoons (30 ml) finely chopped onion in 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
margarine or butter, stirring occasionally, until tender; stir into rice.
• Stir in 2 teaspoons (10 ml) lemon juice and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) mar
garine or butter, melted.
• Cook 1/2 cup (125 ml) slivered almonds in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) mar
garine or butter, stirring occasionally, until light brown; stir into rice.
• Stir in 1/2 cup (125 ml) canned sliced mushrooms or mushroom stems
and pieces, drained.
• Stir in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) chopped, fresh parsley.
CARE AND CLEANING
After each use, wash the Rice Bowl, the Lid, the Measuring Cup and the
Spatula in warm, soapy water. Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleansers
or metal scouring pads. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the base with a clean,
damp cloth and dry. NOTE: If rice has cooked onto the bottom of the Rice
Bowl, fill the bowl with hot, soapy water. Let stand about 10 minutes.
CAUTION:
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable container. Do
not immerse the Base, Cord or Plug in water or other liquid.
2. If water should accidentally enter the switch mechanism or spill onto the
heating plate, carefully unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow
to dry thoroughly before using the appliance again.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is
exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating
of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the
grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The
extension 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.
