GETTING STARTED
This appliance is intended for household use only.
• Remove all packing material, any stickers, and the plastic band around the power plug.
• Go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your product.
• Wash all removable parts as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING.
Place the clean, dry cooking pot in the cooking base.
• Select a location where this unit is to be used. Place the unit on a stable, heat
resistant surface, free from cloth, liquids and any other flammable materials.
Ensure that the unit has enough space all the way around and above it to
allow heat to flow without damage to cabinets or walls.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RICE COOKER
• It is not necessary to preheat the rice cooker before use.
• The cooking bowl gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or potholders when
touching any outer or inner surface of the appliance.
• During the first few minutes of use you may notice smoke and a slight odor. This is caused
by oil that may have been used during manufacturing
of the unit and will not impact the performance.
• Do not try to stop the rice cooker from switching to the warm mode.
• As rice cooks, steam will escape through vent in lid. Place glass lid on the rice cooker so
the steam vent is facing away from cabinets and walls. Do not place hand over steam vent
while rice is cooking; the hot steam may burn.
• Use the plastic serving spoon (or a wooden spoon) to stir and remove rice. Do not use
metal utensils that can scratch the nonstick cooking bowl.

• Do not fill the cooking bowl higher than highest water marking measurement.

Rinse the rice with water to remove any excess starch and then drain.2.
For white rice, fill the cooking bowl with water to the line that matches the number of rice3.

cooker to dry completely before using.
STORING
Make sure that the appliance is thoroughly cool and dry. Never wrap the cord tightly around
the appliance; keep it loosely coiled. Placing the lid on upsidedown for storage can help save
space.
HELPFUL HINT S AND TIPS
RICE TIPS
• If rice or other foods start to boil over, remove the lid and stir for a couple minutes.
Leaving the lid off for a short period of time will allow some of the liquids to boil off and for
the mixture to slightly cool. Place the lid back on the rice cooker and repeat if needed.
• Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt. If using kosher salt, you
may find you want to add a little more than if using table salt. About ¾ tsp. of kosher salt is
recommended for each rice cup (6 fluid oz.) of uncooked rice.
• White rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place for up to one year.
• Brown rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place for up to six months.
Refrigeration or freezing extends its shelf life.
• Try using broth, stock or reconstituted bouillon in place of water for additional flavor. If
you do, no additional salt may be necessary.
• Do not keep small amounts of rice in the warm cycle for extended periods of time because
it can dry out the rice.
• During cooking, a thin crust may develop on the rice at the bottom of the bowl. If you do
not like rice with a crust, you can easily peel it off and discard it.
• Taste/hardness will vary depending on the quality/type of rice and length of time it is
cooked. For softer, fluffier rice, add a little more water. For firmer, crunchier rice, use less
water.
• For other types of grains not listed in the cooking chart, follow package directions.

ADDITIONAL USES FOR YOUR RICE COOKER
Packaged foods: condensed and ready to serve soups, pastas, and stews
• Do not fill bowl above the largest water marking cup level on the cooking bowl.
• For even heating, stir occasionally.
• Always use a kitchen timer. Do not rely on the control switch on the cooker since it is not
intended to be an indicator of cooking time for soups and stews.
• Use only boneless meats and poultry that are cut into cubes no larger than 1½ inches. It is
not necessary to brown the meats before cooking.
• When cooking rice or pasta in the soup, add additional liquid in the recipe.
• Since most frozen vegetables cook very quickly, it is best to add them at the end of the
cooking time. Stir them into the soup or stew and allow the mixture to cook an additional 5
to 1 minutes.
• Choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less.
Oatmeal or Hot Cereals
• Steel Cut Oats work best.
• Do not fill bowl more than half way with liquids, as the oatmeal will expand during the
cooking process.
• For even heating, stir occasionally.
• When the oatmeal is done, the rice cooker will switch to warm. Please note that this is for
well-done oatmeal. If you prefer a different consistency, monitor the cooking process to
manually switch to warm for desired results.
• Choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less.
