Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other);
follow the instructions below:
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 supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from it
being grabbed by children, and becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
3. If a longer extension cord is used:
a.) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b.) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped
over unintentionally.

Caution:
The rice cooker will not
switch to Keep Warm
mode until all liquid has
evaporated. Follow your
recipe carefully and do
not leave the rice cooker
unattended.
Note:
· Before placing the inner
pot into the cooker,
check that it is dry and
free of debris. Adding
the inner pot when
wet may damage the
cooker.
· For approximate rice
cooking times and
suggested rice/water
rations, see the "Rice &
Water Measurement
Table" on page 11.
Note:
· The maximum cook time
for the Sauté function is
one hour.
S
Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.
· If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker
switches to Keep Warm, additional water and
cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on
how dry your rice is, add ½ to 1 cup of water
and stir thoroughly. Place on the lid and run
the White Rice cycle once more. When cooker
switches to Keep Warm mode, remove the
lid and stir the rice to check the consistency.
Repeat as necessary until rice is soft and moist.
Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.
· If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the
cooker switches to Keep Warm, use the serving
spatula to stir the rice. This will redistribute
the bottom (moist) part of the rice as well as
release excess moisture. Place on the lid and
allow to remain on Keep Warm mode for 10-
30 minutes as needed, removing the lid and
stirring periodically to release excess moisture.
· Do not use harsh
abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads or
products that are not
considered safe to use
on nonstick coatings.
· We recommend hand
washing the inner pot
with warm, soapy water
to lengthen its lifespan
and avoid damage
over time. If washing in
a dishwasher, a slight
discoloration to the
inner pot may occur.
This is cosmetic and will
not negatively aect
performance.
· Any other servicing
should be performed by
Aroma®Housewares.

Note:
· When cooking barley, open the lid after the cycle has run for about 5 minutes to
avoid overflow and overheating.
· To ensure meat tastes its best, and to prevent food-borne illness, check that meat is
completely cooked prior to serving. If it is not, simply place more water in the inner
pot and repeat the cooking process until the meat is cooked.
· Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no need to
increase the amount of water when steaming a large serving of vegetables."
· Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will aect steaming times.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and 3 tablespoons
sugar until well blended. Slowly add the heavy cream while stirring
constantly. Pour the liquid into three 8-oz. jars. Add water to the inner
pot, then place the steam rack inside. Place the jars on the steam
rack and cover with the lid. Press Steam/Soup once to initiate the
Steam function. Once the cooking cycle is done, carefully remove the
jars from the inner pot. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours or
overnight. Remove the créme brûlée from the refrigerator 10 minutes
before serving. Evenly sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar
over each jar, shaking occasionally to distribute the sugar around the
entire surface. Using a torch, melt the sugar until the tops are crispy
and golden.
