CONSUMER SAFETY
INFORMATION
Improper use of the
grounded wire can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a
qualified electrician if necessary. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature by modifying the plug.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards
resulting from entanglement or tripping over a long cord. An
extension cord may be used with care. If it is necessary to use
an extension cord, it should be positioned so that it does not
drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over and:
a)Use only 2-wire extension cord with 2-blade plug.
b)The marked rating of extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the rating of this appliance. Electrical rating is
listed on the bottom of this unit.
WARNING:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. It is
equipped with a 2-wire detachable
cord with grounded plug. The plug

BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
Carefully unpack the rice cooker and remove any packaging
materials. To remove any dust that may have accumulated during
packaging, wash the rice bowl, lid, measuring cup, steaming
basket and spatula in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry

Handle the rice bowl carefully. Scratching or denting the bowl
might cause unsatisfactory performance.
Before using, be sure that the outside of the rice bowl is clean
and dry. Be sure that the heat sensor in the center on the
inside of the unit is clean, dry and cool.
Making Rice
It is advised that you carefully rinse your rice
before cooking. Do not rinse flavoured or
enriched rice or if the package clearly states
not to rinse. Rinse under cold running water in
a strainer until the water runs clear. Do not rinse
rice in rice bowl, as you may damage the non
-stick coating. To measure rice using the
included markings in the rice bowl (see fig.1),
follow directions below.
USING THE INCLUDED SCOOP:
Measure the desired quantity of rice with the
included measuring scoop. Rinse the rice in
cold water, if required, and put into the rice bowl. Add cold water,
filling to the corresponding marking under (cup) on the inside of
the rice bowl. For example: if you are using 6 scoops of rice, add
enough water to reach the “6” mark in the rice bowl under
NOTE: These markings correspond to the included
measuring scoop, not to standard measuring cup
amounts.

USING YOUR RICE COOKER
Caution: When opening, always open lid away from
face, to avoid steam burns.

9.After cooking, fluff rice with spatula, close lid and keep in Warm mode
for 10 minutes. Any excess moisture will be absorbed during this time.
Fluff rice again and use the spatula to serve. This technique results in
fluffier, better tasting rice. Be careful to avoid steam when opening the
rice cooker. Always turn off and unplug the rice cooker before removing
the rice bowl. Always wear protective oven mitts when touching the hot
rice bowl.
NOTE: Your rice cooker will remain in the WARM function
until it is manually turned off. For best results, the automatic
keep -warm cycle should be left on no longer than 5 hours at
a time. To stop the automatic keep-warm cycle, you must
unplug the appliance.
IMPORTANT: If you would like to begin another cook cycle
after your cook mode is completed, you must ensure that the
heat sensor on the inside of the base is clean, dry and cool.
Beginning a cook cycle with a cool heat sensor will ensure
your rice cooker will cook properly. If you wish to cool the
heat sensor down quickly, remove the rice bowl from the unit
and leave the lid open. Allow the unit to cool down while you
are preparing the food or rice for your next cook cycle. The
cool-down process may take up to 30 minutes to complete.
NOTE: Follow the cleaning instructions, located on page 10,
after each use.
Please note: These are only suggested ratios. Different types of rice
require different ratios of rice to water. Brown rice and wild rice blends will
require more water. It is advisable to adjust the ratios to suit you own
tastes and preferences.
TO USE STANDARD MEASURING CUPS
Refer to the cooking instructions on the package of rice you are using.
Follow the ratios, and adjust accordingly to suit your preferences.
Caution: To ensure that your rice cooker does not
boil over, never pour water into the rice bowl
exceeding the "MAX" level marking.

Using the Steamer basket
1.Measure water into rice bowl. Place foods to be steamed into the
steamer basket; place basket in the rice bowl.
2.Place rice bowl with basket into base and close the lid.
3.Plug cord into a 120V 60 Hz AC only outlet.
4.Push lever down to start cooking. Cook according to times indicated
in recipes.
It is advised that you clean your rice cooker and all of the used
accessories after each use. Ensure the rice cooker is unplugged before
cleaning. NEVER clean the rice cooker while it is still plugged in.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of the rice cooker. Do
not immerse the main body in water. Remove the rice bowl, and the
steamer basket (if used) from the main body. Wash these items in warm
soapy water along with the spatula and measuring scoop. Do not use any
scouring pads on the rice bowl as they will damage
the non -stick coating. If rice has "baked" on the
rice bowl and regular washing will not remove it,
place hot soapy water into the bowl and let it sit.
After allowing the bowl to soak, the rice should be
loosened enough to remove. If this does not work,
continue to let the rice bowl soak.
After every use, a residue will build up on the
underside of the lid plate. To clean, wipe the lid and
the large silicone ring (being careful not to remove
it) with a warm, damp cloth. We recommend
removing the silicone gasket by turning counter
clockwise to unlock from the lid plate.
● Try using beef, poultry or vegetable stock instead of water for more
flavourful rice.
● Experiment with different kinds of rice. Your rice cooker is perfect for
many kinds of rice including Wild Rice blends, Jasmine Rice, Brown
Rice and Basmati Rice.
● Rinsing your rice washes away excess starch and makes fluffier rice.
Do not wash flavored or enriched rice; it will wash away flavours and
valuable nutrients.
● Do not open lid during cooking or cook with lid open. Heat and
moisture will escape and affect the final outcome.
● Always ensure that the outside of your rice bowl and the inside of the
rice cooker body are clean and dry before starting any cooking mode.
● When cooking rice, ensure that the rice is well distributed around the
rice bowl to allow for even cooking.

HELPFUL HINTS
Wipe the gasket and the steam vent with a warm, damp cloth. Ensure the
silicone gasket is properly inserted into the lid plate before using.
Be sure to clean the condensation chamber located on the side of the rice
cooker body. To clean, remove the chamber by pressing on the sides of the
plastic cover and removing by pulling outwards. Clean by running the
plastic cover under warm running water. Dry thoroughly and replace by
pushing the cover back into the groove on the rice cooker body.
To clean the inside of your rice cooker, ensure it has cooled down. Use a
damp cloth to clean the inside removing remaining food and moisture. Dry
thoroughly.
To clean the main body of the rice cooker, wipe the exterior including the
lid with a damp cloth. NEVER immerse any part of the main body in water
or liquid. Polish the exterior of the rice cooker with a dry, soft cloth.
