To prevent electrical shock, personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

Electricity Precautions

To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.

Do not operate when the appliance is not working properly or when it has been damaged in any manner. For service information see warranty page.

Do not use electric parts outdoors, or place them on or near a gas or electric burner, in a heated oven, or in the refrigerator.

Unplug the appliance from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

Your rice cooker has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other area or touch hot surfaces.

While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the rice cooker (wattage is stamped on the underside of the rice cooker base). Position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge of any surface to avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement.

Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the rice cooker. On a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not alter the plug.

Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or extension cord feels hot.

Never put liquid into the outer heating base. Add liquid only into the inner rice pot.

Never plug rice cooker in without the inner rice cooker pot inside the heating base.

Always keep the space between the inner rice pot and the heating plate of base clean and free from any foreign particles.

Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To turn off, remove plug from wall.

Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during operation.
