Important Cord Information
•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.
•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 properly 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 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.
Before First Use
1.Remove all packaging materials.
2.Become familiar with the various parts of the rice cooker (Fig. A) and read and follow the instructions carefully.
3.Wash the rice cooker and accessories according to the “Care and Cleaning” instructions, steps 2 through 4 on page 5.
How To Use
Important: For proper heat transfer between the rice cooker base and the removable pot, before each use, be sure the bottom of the removable pot and the heating plate within the rice cooker base (Fig. B) are free of debris. In addition, to prevent electrical shock, be sure the outside of the removable pot is completely dry before placing it into the rice cooker base.
To Cook Rice:
1.Place the rice cooker on a dry, level, heat resistant surface. To avoid steam damage to cabinets, position the rice cooker so it is not directly under cabinets.
2.Open the rice cooker cover by pressing the cover release button (Fig. A) and lift the hinged cover so it is in a fully upright position. Remove the rice pot if it is in place.

3.Using the rice measuring scoop provided, measure the desired amount of rice and pour into the pot*. One level scoop of uncooked rice will yield 2 scoops of cooked rice.
Note: The rice measuring scoop provided is 180 ml or 6 ounces, the rice industry standard, rather than 240 ml or 8 ounces.
4.Using the water measurement lines inside the pot (Fig. C), fill the pot with the appropriate amount of water (see the chart below). For example, if cooking
4 measuring scoops of rice, add enough water to fill up to line 4 marked on the pot. Note that the pot has water markings for both white and brown rice. The liquid measurement is also included in the chart, if you prefer to measure the water with a liquid measuring cup. Water amounts may be adjusted for firmer or moister rice; see “Helpful Hints” on page 5. Never exceed the “MAX” fill levels. Overfilling may result in water boiling over the top of the rice pot.
