Wolfgang Puck,

owner of the famous
Spago restaurants and
one of the most influential
chef-restauranteurs in
America, is credited with
reviving California’s rich
culinary heritage. His cooking
innovations, a result of

blending fresh California
ingredients with his classical French techniques, are enjoyed by world leaders,
stars and fellow chefs alike. He established other trend-setting restaurants
like Postrio in San Francisco, Chinois on Main in Santa Monica, Granita,
Vert and Trattoria del Lupo. Home chefs can also share Mr. Puck’s talents
through his cookbooks and, of course, through his appliances!

Caution

Be sure to observe the following to prevent malfunction that may cause an accident:

1

Measure the quantity of rice and water according to the Operating Instructions.

2

Clean the rice cooker, particularly the condensation collector, after each use (see
Care & Cleaning instructions).

3

Set the unit on a stable surface.

4

DO NOT expose to water, high humidity, or heat sources. DO NOT use the pan
directly on an open flame.

5

Be sure to keep the unit out of the reach of children.

6

Keep holes that drain into the condensation collector clean and free of debris.

7

Plug into a properly wired wall outlet. Before you plug it in, make sure the voltage
of the unit is the same as your local supply.

8

After plugging in, press the switch on immediately.

Cooking with the switch in Keep Warm position will cause low heat cooking and this
will not cook the rice properly.

supply plug connected or with food in the pot as this may cause damage to the
cooker or injury to yourself. When tilting or placing the rice-cooker upside down,
make sure to disconnect the power supply plug.

13

The pan must not be filled above the MAXIMUM CUP MARKING.

14

The lid must be closed tightly in the latched position at all times during cooking.
