“IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS”
Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances, including the following:
1. Important: Read all instructions carefully before first use.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or knobs.
3. Use only on a level, dry and heat-resistant surface.
4. To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plug or
the appliance in water or any other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.
5. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow unit to cool before putting
on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. Especially after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Aroma® customer service for
examination, repair or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Aroma® Housewares may result
in fire, electrical shock or injury.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter or table.
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas, electric burner or in a heated oven.
12. Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
13. Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing rice or other hot liquids.
14. Do not touch, cover or obstruct the steam vent on the top of the rice cooker, as it will be
extremely hot and may cause scalding.
15. Use only with a 120V AC power outlet.
16. Always unplug from the base of the wall outlet. Never pull on the cord.
17. The rice cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating
appliances. If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, the appliance may
not operate properly.
18. Always make sure the outside of the inner pot is dry prior to use. If the inner pot is returned
to the cooker when wet, it may damage or cause the product to malfunction.

“SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS”
Polarized Plug
Short Cord Instructions
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from 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 equal to the
electrical rating of the appliance.
b. The longer 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 unintentionally.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other):
To reduce the risk of electrical 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 power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
