West Bend L5551E instruction manual Save These Instructions, Operating Precautions

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

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

•Do not use glass cover if chipped, cracked or has deep scratches as weakened glass can shatter during use. Discard immediately. See Replacement Part section in this booklet on how to obtain a replacement part.

•Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.

•Use hot pads or oven mitts if you lift or carry the rice cooker base, rice pot, steam basket, or cover when it is hot.

•Lift cover slowly, directing steam away from you.

•Set rice pot, steam basket and cover on hot pad, trivet, or other heat protective surface. Do not set hot rice pot, steam basket, or cover directly on the counter, table or other surface.

•Do not use the rice pot, steam basket or cover on the stove top, under the broiler, in the freezer, in the microwave or in the oven.

•Do not run cold water over hot cover, as it may crack or shatter if cooled suddenly.

•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.

•A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

•Longer, detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.
