SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. 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 cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top 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.
