IMPORANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and/or injury:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Note:

A. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks of becoming entangled in

or tripping over a longer cord. B. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. C. If 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.

(2) The longer 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.

The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other is). As a safety feature, 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 not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to override this safety feature.

WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with this product, will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Read all instructions.

Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

To protect against fire, electrical shock, and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.

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

Unplug unit from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before attaching or removing parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not force any foreign objects, such as pins and wires, into any openings.

HOW TO COOK RICE

Correct Incorrect

Measure the rice correctly. Wash the rice.

• Measure the rice using measuring cup provided. 1 cup equals 180 ml.

• Avoid using the Inner Pot to wash rice as it may damage the Inner Pot.

• Wash rice thoroughly in a separate bowl until the water becomes relatively clear.

• Rinse quickly using a lot of water. Drain quickly.

• Gently rinse rice 2-3 times, until water becomes clear.

Attach the inner lid and close the lid.

• Securely close the Lid until you hear a click.

• Make sure that there are no foreign objects such as rice grains, between the Lid and the Inner Pot or between the Inner Pot and Lid Seal. Any foreign objects between them may cause steam to escape or water to boil over.

Add the correct amount of water according to the menu setting selected and quantity of rice.

• Place the washed rice into the Inner Pot.

• Add water based on the selected menu setting and the quantity of rice being cooked.

• If the water level is incorrect, excess water may boil over.

• Adjust the water level according to your own preference. The water level may be adjusted by up to 1/4 of a graduation level. If the amount of water is too great, it may boil over. The water quantity should not exceed the highest water level (Mark 10) as this may lead to overfill and short circuit.

• Make sure that any rice grains or water droplets remaining on the outside of the Inner Pot or the inner wall of the main body are removed. Water remaining in these areas may cause noise during the cooking process.

• Gently turn the Inner Pot from side to side a few times to level the rice.

Plug power cord into electrical outlet and choose function.

• When the power is on, the WHITE RICE lamp will begin flashing and the display will show two red horizontal bars. The rice cooker is in standby mode.

• Select the type of rice by pressing the Menu Button. If the wrong menu option is selected, the water may boil over or the rice may not be cooked properly.

• The Menu lamp will change from flashing to solid. After 10 seconds, the two red horizontal bars begin to circulate around in the display. The cooking process begins.

• Press the OFF Button to cancel cooking.

• Cooking times vary with differences in rice and preparation. Rice cooking guide is included below for reference.

HOW TO COOK RICE

• Press PORRIDGE & SOUP from the menu to begin cooking.

HOW TO COOK WITH QUICK COOKING COURSE

• Use QUICK COOKING course to cook rice quicker than a regular course.

• The rice may be slightly harder or may leave a thin crust on the bottom of the inner pot.

• The rice may become softer if the rice is steamed a little longer in the KEEP WARM mode after cooking.

• If softer rice is preferred, let the rice soak in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
