THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
No user-serviceable parts inside this rice cooker.
Do not attempt to service this product. A short power supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension
cord is used the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the RICE COOKER. The extension cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Do not immerse base in water or other liquids. No liability can be accepted for any
damage caused by non-compliance with these instructions or any other improper
use or mishandling.

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to 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 attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the
plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
