GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a three-wire
detachable cord having a grounded plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

shock. Consult a qualified electrician, if necessary. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature by modifying the plug.

A short detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards
resulting from entanglement or tripping over a long cord. If is necessary to
use an extension cord, it should be positioned such that it should not drape
over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over and:

A) Use only a three-wire extension cord with a three-blade

grounding plug.

B) The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater

than the rating of this appliance. Electrical rating is listed on the
bottom of this unit.

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.

9

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

10

The unit becomes hot when in use. DO NOT touch the lid with your hand,
and do not place your face or hand directly over the steam coming from
the cooker.

11

Always keep the outside bottom of the pan and the heating plate
clean and dry. Any foreign matter between them will cause the unit
to malfunction.

12

DO NOT tilt the rice-cooker on its edge or place it upside down with its
power 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. (i.e. The unit must not be operated with the lid opened).

15

DO NOT cover the lid with a cloth. The lid may deform or change color.

16

DO NOT damage the power cord and do not attempt to repair it if it
is damaged.

17

Never attempt to customize the cord. Keep the cord away from high
temperatures. Avoid unnecessary bending, twisting and pulling on the
cord. Never place heavy objects on the cord or attempt to tie it up. Using
a damaged power cord can lead to electrical shock, shorting or fire.

18

Ensure that the plug fits all the way into the outlet.

19

Partially plugged-in cords may cause electric hazard.

20

DO NOT MOVE the unit while cooking.

Cleaning instructions in this manual.

Using Your Rice Cooker/Steamer to Cook Rice

1 Only measure rice with the enclosed measuring cup. For best results

rinse measured rice until the water becomes relatively clear (see
“Helpful Hints” section for details).

2 Place rinsed rice in the pan, add water. For 6 cups of uncooked rice

(yields 10-12 cups of cooked rice), use 6 full scoops of rice to the line
indicated on the measuring cup and add to inner pot.

3 Add water to the 6 cup line on the inside of the pot. Always add the

rice to the pot BEFORE adding the water to the pot. The water level
marked on the inner pot is based upon having rice added already.

4 Place the pot in the rice cooker.

5 Close the outer lid. The lid is properly closed when it clicks.

6 Plug in and immediately press the switch down to “Cook”. The

“Cook” indicator light will illuminate to indicate the rice is cooking.

cooking process has completed (approx 25 - 35 minutes). The Keep
Warm function will continue until the unit is unplugged.

8 Open the rice cooker by pressing the release button on the handle.

Be sure to open the lid facing away from you to avoid any hot steam.

9 Remove and clean the condensation collector after every use.

Using Your Rice Cooker/Steamer to Steam Vegetables

1 Put 1 cup of water into the pan.

2 Place inner pot in the rice cooker housing and place the steaming

basket on the pot.

3 Add ingredients to steaming basket (see “Steaming Chart” in this

manual for suggested cooking times).

4 Close the outer lid. The lid is properly closed when it clicks.

5 Plug in and immediately press the switch down to “Cook”. The

“Cook” indicator light will illuminate to indicate steaming process
has started.

6 Time the cooking manually as the unit will automatically switch to

“Keep Warm” should the water evaporate.
