While Cooking
• CAUTION: Risk of electric shock.
Cook only in the removable inner
pot. Do not put any liquid directly
into the rice cooker.
• Use on a flat, stable, heat-resistant
surface away from heat sources or
liquids.
• The removable inner pot is extremely
hot during use and can be heavy
when full of ingredients.
• Be careful when handling the inner
pot or steam basket when it contains
hot food, hot oil, or other hot liquids.
• Place hot accessories on a heat-
resistant surface or potholder.
• Do not place anything on top of your
rice cooker while it is operating. Do
not store anything inside your rice
cooker other than recommended
accessories.
• Do not touch the metal portion
of the lid, hot surfaces, or any
accessories during or immediately
after cooking because they will be
hot.
• Do not place paper, cardboard, or
plastic into your rice cooker, or any
materials which may catch fire or
melt.
• Do not use this rice cooker for deep
frying with oil.
Power & Cord
• This rice cooker uses a short power-
supply cord to reduce the risk
resulting from it being grabbed by
children, becoming entangled in, or
tripping over a longer cord.
• To turn the rice cooker o, tap
CANCEL to stop cooking, then
unplug. To unplug, grasp the plug
and pull from the outlet. Never pull
from the power cord.
• Do not use with an extension cord.
This rice cooker is intended for
countertop use only.
• Do not let the power cord hang over
the edge of a table or counter or
touch hot surfaces.
• WARNING: Spilled food can cause
serious burns. Keep appliance and
cord away from children. Never
drape cord over edge of counter,
never use outlet below counter, and
never use with an extension cord.
• Never use an outlet below the
counter when plugging in your rice
cooker.
• Your rice cooker has a polarized plug
(one prong is wider than the other),
which fits into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
do not use the plug in that outlet. Do
not alter the plug in any way.
• Keep the rice cooker and its cord out
of reach of children.
• Do not block any ventilation
openings. Hot steam is released
through openings. Keep your hands
and face clear of openings.
• Do not leave the rice cooker
unattended while in use.
• Only use as directed in this manual.
Do not use for any purpose other
than its intended use.
• Not for commercial use. Household
