SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware stores and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is required, special care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be (1) marked with an electrical rating of at least 125V. and 10 A., 1250 W., and (2) the 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 accidentally.

POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to 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 defeat this safety feature.

Important Information

READ BEFORE USING YOUR TOASTMASTER

AUTOMATIC RICE COOKER FOR THE FIRST TIME.

◆ Read all instructions.

◆ Wash Cooking Pot, Wire Cooking Rack, Glass Lid, Rice Scoop and

Rice Paddle in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry well.

◆ Never immerse Main Housing in water.

◆ Never place liquid in the Main Housing. Place it only in the

Cooking Pot.

◆ Never try to force the Rice Cooking Selector Lever to stay in the COOK mode after it has moved up to the WARM mode.

◆ Never plug in the Cooker without first placing the Cooking Pot inside the Main Housing.

◆ Always be sure Cooking Pot contains liquid, or be ready to add oil, butter, or margarine immediately to the Cooking Pot.

◆ Remember that the Rice Scoop is not a standard measuring cup. When filled, it measures approximately 3/4 cup.

◆ Never wash any removable parts of the Cooker in the dishwasher.

◆ Save these instructions and refer to them often.

◆ If the outside of the Cooking Pot is wet when placed into the

Cooker, this may cause a cracking noise while the unit heats up. Also, this may cause damage to the inner working of the appliance, so always wipe the outside of the Cooking Pot completely dry before use.

◆ Be careful not to dent the Cooking Pot, especially the bottom of it. To work properly and produce the best cooking results, the Cooking Pot must fit snugly on top of the Thermostat.

◆ DO NOT let loose grains of rice or other food particles fall into the bottom of the Main Housing because they might prevent the Thermostat from fitting tightly against the bottom of the Cooking Pot and cause inadequate cooking.

◆ Use the plastic Rice Paddle or a wooden spoon to stir and remove food from the non-stick Cooking Pot. NEVER use any metal utensils.

◆ Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads because they can damage the finish of both the Cooking Pot and Main Housing.

General Information About Rice

Grains (including rice) are finally getting the attention they deserve as they move into the nutritional spotlight. The new USDA dietary recommendations highlight grains as an essential part of a healthy, whole foods diet. With their impressive fiber, complex carbohydrates and protein content, they are, without a doubt, some of Mother Nature's most perfect foods. Rice has been cultivated for centuries and has become a food staple in many homes. There are many ways to use rice to make tasty, wonderful dishes!

Rice is grown on marshy land that can be flooded. It does not need to be milled or ground — only the outer husk or hull must be removed, leaving behind the rice kernel covered by the bran layer. This is known as brown or whole-grain rice, the most nutritious type of rice. Brown rice can be processed and polished to remove the bran layer to produce white rice. Most white rice is enriched with vitamins and minerals, but let the label be your guide.
