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:

1Measure the quantity of rice and water according to the Operating Instructions.

2Clean the rice cooker, particularly the condensation collector, after each use (see Care & Cleaning instructions).

3Set the unit on a stable surface.

4DO NOT expose to water, high humidity, or heat sources. DO NOT use the pan directly on an open flame.

5Be sure to keep the unit out of the reach of children.

6Keep holes that drain into the condensation collector clean and free of debris.

7Plug 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.

8After plugging in, press the switch on immediately.

9Cooking with the switch in Keep Warm position will cause low heat cooking and this will not cook the rice properly.

10The 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.

11Always 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.

12DO 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.

13The pan must not be filled above the MAXIMUM CUP MARKING.

14The 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).

15DO NOT cover the lid with a cloth. The lid may deform or change color.

16DO NOT damage the power cord and do not attempt to repair it if it is damaged.

17Never 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.

18Ensure that the plug fits all the way into the outlet.

19Partially plugged-in cords may cause electric hazard.

Using Your Rice Cooker/Steamer to Cook Rice

1Only 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).

2Place 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.

3Add 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.

4Place the pot in the rice cooker.

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

6Plug in and immediately press the switch down to “Cook”. The “Cook” indicator light will illuminate to indicate the rice is cooking.

7The rice cooker will automatically switch to “Keep Warm” when the cooking process has completed (approx 25 - 35 minutes). The Keep Warm function will continue until the unit is unplugged.

8Open 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.

9Remove and clean the condensation collector after every use.

Using Your Rice Cooker/Steamer to Steam Vegetables

1Put 1 cup of water into the pan.

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

3Add ingredients to steaming basket (see “Steaming Chart” in this manual for suggested cooking times).

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

5Plug in and immediately press the switch down to “Cook”. The “Cook” indicator light will illuminate to indicate steaming process has started.
