Important Safeguards

Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances, including the following:

1. Read all instructions carefully.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.

3. To prevent electrical hazards, do not immerse cord, plug or rice cooker heating plate in water or any liquid.

4. Close adult supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.

5. Unplug appliance from the wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool completely before putting on/taking off parts or removing the inner pot and before cleaning.

6. Do not operate the appliance if the cord has been damaged, or if the appliance malfunctions or is damaged in any way. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

7. Never allow water or any liquid into the outer pot as it may damage the product.

8. Never plug in the power cord without the inner pot inside the cooker.

9. Always attach the plug to the cooker first. Then plug the power cord into the outlet.

10. Do not use attachments or accessories other than those supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. Incompatible parts create a hazard and damaged caused by non-recommended parts are not covered under the warranty.

11. Do not use outdoors.

12. Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or counter tops, or touch hot surfaces.

13. Do not place on or near gas or electric burners, on a stovetop or in an oven.

14. Use extreme caution when moving or handling appliances containing hot oil or other hot liquid.

15. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.

16. Always unplug after use. Rice Cooker will remain ON unless unplugged.

17. Keep cooker away from direct sources of heat or sunlight to prevent possible damage. Do not expose to water or high humidity.

18. Do not cover or obstruct the steam vent. Do not touch hot steam from the steam vent while the cooker is in use.

19. Use caution when opening lid after cooking or steaming. Steam may escape and cause burns.

20. The retractable electric cord needs to be pulled to its full extension prior to use. Stop pulling when a colored band comes into view. To retract the cord into the appliance, pull the cord and release slowly.

21. Make sure that there are no foreign objects in the cooker prior to use.

22. Never place the inner pot directly on gas or electric burners.

23. Always operate cooker on a stable, flat, heat resistant surface.
