This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to t a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug
in any way.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the detachable power supply cord or ex-
tension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance.
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be the
same type 3-wire.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.

HOW TO OPERATE
CLEANING & CARE
1. Using the measuring cup provided, measure and add rice to the inner pot.
On full level measuring cup (that we have provided) is equal to one cup.
2. You may choose any one of the following ways to add water for cooking:
• Using the measuring cup, add the proper amount (See measurement
chart.)
• Using the waterline, add water to the rice inside the inner pot up to the
proper waterline. (Example: for 3 cups of uncooked rice, add water to
line 3.)
3. For softer rice, we suggest preparing rice and water in the inner pot and let-
ting soak for 10–20 minutes before cooking.
4. Place lid on cooker and plug in power cord. Press switch to COOK. When
your rice is cooked, the cooker will automatically switch to the WARM
function.
5. After cooking, it is important to allow rice to stand for 5–10 minutes without
removing the lid. This will ensure that rice is cooked through.
6. Brown rice will take longer to cook. We suggest adding an additional 3/4
cup of water to accommodate the proper cooking time.
How to Use Your Steaming Basket:
1. Clean and prepare your food or vegetables.
2. Place the Inner Pot in the Rice Cooker.
3. Measure the approximate amount of water based on how much food you are
steaming (use the table on the next page as a guide).
NOTE: ALWAYS check the progress of the food as it is cooking and add water as
needed.
NOTE: You are able to steam rice and vegetables/food at the same time with the
Steaming Basket resting on the Inner Pot. (To cook both at the same time,
combine the total amount of uncooked food––rice AND vegetables.)
4. Place the Steaming Basket on the rim of the Inner Pot.
5. Add vegetables or food and put the Lid on the Rice Cooker. Switch to the
COOK position and cook for the appropriate amount of time (use the table on
the next page as a guide).
NOTE: The length of steaming time is subject to your personal tastes. Cook for a
shorter amount of time if you prefer al denté (crunchy) or a longer time for
well done.
6. Unplug the Rice Cooker after use.

NOTE: Always use the measuring cup that comes with your Rice Cooker.
1. Remove the inner pot and lid from the Rice Cooker and wash them in hot,
soapy water. Rinse completely, then dry with a soft clean cloth. The cooking
pot and lid are also dishwasher safe.
2. Clean the outside of your cooker when necessary with a clean damp cloth or
with a mild dish detergent.
• NEVER use abrasive cleaners.
• Do NOT use any metal tools for steel wool on the outside nish or on
the cooking pot as they may cause damage.
• DO NOT SUBMERGE ANY PART OF THE RICE COOKER’S BODY IN
WATER.
COOKING TIPS:
1. You may rinse rice to remove excess bran and starch. This will help to re-
duce rice browning and sticking to the bottom of your pot after cooking, but it
may also lose some nutrients.
2. Remember: Place rice in the inner pot first, then add water before cooking.
3. If you have experienced any sticking due to the type of rice you choose, try
adding a light coating of vegetable oil to the bottom of the inner pot before
placing the rice.
4. Because there are many different kinds of rice available, rice/water ratio may
be slightly different. Remember to make adjustments to get better results.

3. To clean the heating plate and thermo-control plate, use a plastic scrub brush
to polish or remove any residue, then wipe with a damp cloth. Allow to dry
completely before re-using.You must keep the heating plate and thermo-
control plate free from any foreign objects, otherwise the cooker will not oper-
ate properly.
4. Any residue of vinegar or salt may cause your inner pot to corrode. Always
cleanse completely after each use.
