Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature
by modifying the plug in any way.
Short Power Cord
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord
may be used with care; however, be sure the marked electrical rating is
at least as great as the electrical rating of this appliance. The extension
cord should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter
or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
The electrical rating of this appliance is listed on the bottom panel of
the unit.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be
followed, including the following:

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, Trattoria del Lupo, Cut, and his latest
creation, Jai, an Asian fusion restaurant in San Diego. Home chefs
can also share Mr. Puck’s talents through his cookbooks, cutlery,
cookware and, of course, through his appliances!

Be sure to observe the following to prevent malfunction that may
cause an accident:
Measure the quantity of rice and water according to the instructions
on pages 1 0 - 11.
Clean the rice cooker after each use (see Care & Cleaning section of
this manual).
Set the unit on a stable, level surface.
DO NOT expose to water, high humidity, or heat sources. DO NOT use
the Cooking Pot directly on an open flame.
Be sure to keep the unit out of the reach of children.
Cooking with the switch in the WARM position will cause low heat
cooking which will not cook the rice properly.
The Lid 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 rice cooker.
Always keep the outside bottom of the Cooking Pot and the heating
plate clean and dry. Any foreign matter between them will cause the
unit to malfunction or smoke.
DO NOT tilt the rice cooker on its edge or place it upside down with
the Detachable Cord connected or with food in the Cooking Pot
as this may cause damage to the rice cooker or injury to yourself.
When tilting or placing the rice cooker upside down, make sure to
disconnect the Detachable Cord.
Do not fill the Cooking Pot above the MAX cup marking.
DO NOT cover the Lid with a cloth. The Lid may deform or change
color.
Never attempt to customize the Detachable Cord. Keep the
Detachable Cord away from high temperatures. Avoid unnecessary
bending, twisting and pulling on the Detachable 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.
Ensure that the plug fits all the way into the outlet, partially pluggedin cords may cause an electric hazard.
DO NOT MOVE the unit while cooking.
To remove the Lid, first open both
Locking Tabs by pulling away from
the Cool-Touch Housing (See Figure 1).
Lift the Lid off the Cool-Touch Housing.
You may remove the Detachable Inner
Lid Insert by grasping the side and
pulling away from the Lid (See Figure 2).
Caution: Always ensure that the Inner
Lid is attached to the Lid when cooking.
To attach the Lid, line up the Locking
Tabs on the Lid with the Locking
Tab Receptacle and press in until you
hear a click (See Figure 3).
Caution: A serious burn injury can
occur if you try to move your rice cooker
without the Lid locked into place.

Only measure rice with the enclosed Measuring Cup. For best results
rinse measured rice until the water becomes relatively clear (see
the “Helpful Hints” section on the next page for details).
Place rinsed rice in the Cooking Pot. For 1.5 cups of uncooked rice
(yields 3 cups of cooked rice), measure 1.5 full scoops of rice using the
Measuring Cup included with your unit. Add to the Cooking Pot.
Add water to the 1.5 cup line marked RAW on the inside of the
Cooking Pot. Always add the rice to the Cooking Pot BEFORE adding
the water to the Cooking Pot. The water level marked on the inside of
the Cooking Pot is based upon having rice added already.
Place the Cooking Pot in the Cool-Touch Housing.
Place the Lid on the Cool-Touch Housing and lock into place.
Plug in and immediately press the switch down to COOK. The Cook
Indicator Light will illuminate to indicate the rice is cooking.
The rice cooker will automatically switch to WARM when the cooking
process has completed. The Warm Indicator Light will illuminate to
indicate the appliance is in keep warm mode. The WARM function will
continue until the unit is unplugged.
Open the rice cooker by unlocking both Locking Tabs on the Lid. Be
sure to open the Lid facing away from you to avoid any hot steam.
Remove and clean the Cooking Pot after every use (see Care &
Cleaning section of this manual).

Using Your Rice Cooker
to Cook Rice
Using the WARM function for more than 5 hours may cause
discoloration or an odor in the rice.
You can adjust the amount of water and/or rice to your own taste
preferences.
Washing Rice
When rice is milled, some bran and residues adhere to the surface of the
rice. You can remove these residues by first washing the rice with water
before cooking. This will remove excess starch and residues, which will
provide you with much whiter, fluffier rice.
Remember to always use the Measuring Cup provided to accurately
measure the rice. Add the desired amount of rice to the Cooking Pot. Fill
with cold water until all of the rice is submerged. Wash the rice by simply
stirring the rice around in the water and rubbing between your hands.
You will notice that the color of the water will become cloudy as the rice
is cleaned. Without spilling the rice, tip the Cooking Pot to remove the
cloudy water and repeat several times until the water remains clear.
Cooking other types of rice
Your Wolfgang Puck 1.5 Cup Portable Rice Cooker can handle a wide
variety or rice such as long grain rice, wild rice, yellow rice, brown rice,
basmati rice etc. When cooking brown rice, it will be necessary to
increase the amount of water by 1/2 cup more than the standard short
grain white rice recipe. Adjust to suit your own personal taste.
A note about the measuring cup provided with your rice cooker
Your rice cooker is able to cook a maximum of 1.5 cups of raw rice,
which is the equivalent of 3 cups of cooked rice. The Measuring Cup
included with your rice cooker, like most traditional rice cookers on the
market, is equivalent to 6 ounces, or approx. 3/4 of a cup. This is why it
is important to use the Measuring Cup that comes with your rice cooker
and not a standard 8-ounce cup measure.
