LIGHTING AND SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS
________________________________________________________________________
Always follow these lighting and shut down instructions when lighting rice cooker. A 5 minute complete
shutoff period is required before lighting or relighting pilot. Check for gas leaks before relighting unit.
Use soapy water or other suitable leak detector. Rinse off the soapy water after testing.
Notice to Installer—the following must be performed to insure proper operation
1) Remove pot, outer jacket, and base cover.
2) Turn gas valve to ON position as shown in figure 2 below.
3) Gently push on the #2 COOK button. It should stop half way down and not engage.
This is a safety feature feature that does not allow accidental start of the main burner unless the pilot
button has already been pushed.
4) Push the left button marked #1 START down until the unit clicks, then release it. This is the ignition lever
and should light the pilot. The red button labeled WARM button controls the pilot and is hidden by
the #1 START button when off. Pushing the #1 START button also engages the WARM button and
exposes it. It will stay down until pushed up to extinguish the pilot. If the pilot has not lit, repeat until
the pilot lights.
5) If pilot fails to remain lit, refer to TROUBLE SHOOTING on page 14.
6) Replace the pot, outer jacket, and base cover in their proper order. With the pilot lit, push the
#2 COOK button down to its position without water in the pot. The unit should shut off within 3
to 4 minutes. If it fails to shut off, push the #2 COOK button up to the OFF position and see
TROUBLE SHOOTING on page 14. If it shuts off normally, add a gallon of water and wait for the
click indicating that the sensor has reset. With the pilot lit, press the #2 COOK button again. The rice
cooker should boil the pot dry and then shut off. If it fails to shut off normally, press the #2 COOK
button up to it’s OFF position and refer to the TROUBLE SHOOTING section on page 14 for
additional causes and remedies.
WARNING
When igniting the pilot, position the jacket window directly over #1 START and #2 COOK buttons.
Use caution when igniting pilot and maintain a safe distance from jacket window (figure 3).
SHUT DOWN
When removing the pot, make sure to push the red WARM button up until it clicks and is hidden by the #1
START button—it is then in the OFF position. A 5 minute complete shut off period is required before
lighting or relighting pilot.
