When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

•To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or cooking unit in water or any other liquid.

•Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.

•This appliance should not be used by children.

•Extreme caution must be exercised when any appliance is used near children.

•Unplug from wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning or storing this appliance.

•Do not operate any appliance if the cord is damaged. Do not use this appliance if the unit malfunctions, if it is dropped or has been damaged in any manner. In order to avoid the risk of an electric shock, never try to repair the multi-use rice cooker yourself. Take it to an authorized service station for examination and repair. An incorrect re-assembly could present a risk of electric shock when the multi-use rice cooker is used.

•The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock or injury.

•Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.

•Do not use this appliance for purposes other than the one for which it was designed.

•Do not let the electrical cord hang over the edge of the table or countertop, or touch hot surfaces.

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

•Use on a heat-resistant, flat level surface only.

•Use extreme caution when moving any appliance containing hot food, water or other liquids.

•Open cover carefully to avoid scalding and allow water to drip into the inner pot.

•Do not operate unless the cover is locked in the closed position.

•To disconnect, remove plug from outlet.

•Always unplug after use. The appliance will remain on unless unplugged.

•CAUTION: This appliance generates heat during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fire or other damage to persons or property.

•Do not obstruct the steam release vent during the cooking process.

•When using this appliance, provide adequate ventilation above and on all sides for air circulation. Do not allow this appliance to touch curtains, wall coverings, clothing, dish towels or other flammable materials during use.

•Use with wall receptacle only.

THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLYFor 120V and 127V Markets Only

This appliance has a polarized alternating current plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, as a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not insert fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still fails to fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE.

EXTENSION CORD USE

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 electrical rating of the cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. 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.
