IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

1.Important: Read all instructions carefully before first use.

2.Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or knobs.

3.Use only on a level, dry and heat-resistant surface.

4.To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plug or the appliance in water or any other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.

5.Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.

6.Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow unit to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.

7.Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Aroma® customer service for examination, repair or adjustment.

8.The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Aroma® Housewares may result in fire, electrical shock or injury.

9.Do not use outdoors.

10.Do not let cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter or table.

11.Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

12.Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.

13.Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing rice, hot oil or other hot liquids.

14.Do not touch, cover or obstruct the steam vent on the top of the rice cooker as it is extremely hot and may cause scalding.

15.Use only with a 120V AC power outlet.

16.Always unplug from the base of the wall outlet. Never pull on the cord.

17.The rice cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating appliances. If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, the appliance may not operate properly.

18.Always make sure the outside of the inner cooking pot is dry prior to use. If the inner pot is returned to the cooker when wet, it may damage or cause the product to malfunction.

19.Use extreme caution when opening the lid during or after cooking. Hot steam will escape and may cause scalding.

20.Rice should not be left in the inner cooking pot with the Keep-Warm function on for more than 12 hours.

21.To prevent damage or deformation, do not use the inner cooking pot on a stovetop or burner.

22.To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.

23.To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the removable inner cooking pot provided.
