!
!
• The inner pot is only used for the gas rice cooker and cannot be applied to other
appliances. This can lead to breakdown.
• The bottom burner is only for the gas cooker and cannot be applied to other appliances.
• Do not adjust the electrode igniter, (too wide or too narrow of a gap will lead to
unsuccessful ignition). Maintain a safe distance when igniting.
• Do not block the electrode ignition with water or rice pulp, this will cause
unsuccessful ignition.
• Avoid any impact between expander at the inner pot bottom and other subjects.
• Keep the burner dry.
• To avoid incomplete combustion, do not cover the top of the rice cooker.
• Stay in proximity when the rice cooker is on. This is to avoid gas leakage caused by
• Clean the water in the inner pot to avoid burning.
• It is normal for the color of the aluminum inner pot to change. This might be due to water
to use.

a.
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressure in excess of ½
psig (3.5 kPa).
b. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
system at test pressure equal or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa).
3. Local regulations governing gas appliance installations must be complied.
4. Equipment should be in an area with adequate ventilation.
5. Minimum spacing of 6” to combustible construction is required along back and side walls.
Clearance for noncombustible construction are the same as combustible clearances. For use
only on noncombustible surfaces.
6. Materials such as wood, compressed paper and plant fibers that will ignite and burn, must not
be exposed near the unit. Local safety codes should be complied with in respect to fire hazard
avoidance.
7. Use of the supplied pressure regulator is mandatory. Note that the use of 2 regulators may
cause
8. Keep the appliance area free and clear from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
9. Locate the appliance in a well ventilated area. Do not block or cover the opening between the
shroud and pot. Do not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation of air.
10. The unit must be installed with adequate clearance for servicing and proper operation.

• Do not place the hose underneath the cooker.
NOTICE:
• Failure will occur if the water pan, wind shield, and inner pot are placed improperly.
• Confirm the following before using for best performance:
1. Water pan is placed correctly underneath the bottom.
2. Properly place the wind shield, making sure it is aligned correctly.
GAS CONNECTION
Improper placement would cause
unsuccessful ignition or flame-out.
NOTE: Reversed placement of the water pan is not allowed.

Notice to the Installer: the following must be performed to ensure proper operation.
1. Remove pot, wind shield, and base cover.
2. Turn gas valve to ON position.
3. Gently push on the THEN COOK button. It should stop half way down and not engage. This is a
safety feature that does not allow accidental start of the main burner unless the warming button
has already been pushed.
4. Push the left button marked FIRST IGNITE down until the unit clicks, then release it. This is the
ignition leaver and should light the pilot. The red button labeled WARMING controls the pilot
engages the WARMING button and exposes it. It will stay down until pushed up to extinguish
the pilot. If the pilot has not lit, repeat until the pilot lights.
5. If the pilot fails to remain lit, refer to Trouble Shooting on page 13.
6. Replace the pot, wind shield, and base cover in their proper order. With the pilot lit, push the
the click indicating that the sensor has reset. With the pilot lit, press the THEN COOK button
on page 13 for additional causes and remedies.
When igniting the pilot, position the jacket window directly over FIRST IGNITE and THEN COOK
buttons. Use caution when igniting pilot and maintain a safe distance from wind shield window.
