SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
This rice cooker is intended for household use.
The following instructions are applicable to 120V only:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk
of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet in only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or disabled persons without
supervision. Ensure that young children do not play with the rice cooker.
Do not use the rice cooker for other than intended use.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an
extension cord is to be used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance; (2) if the appliance is of the
grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and (3) the cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled down by children or tripped over accidentally.

Les instructions suivantes sont applicables à 120V seulement :
Cet appareil possède une fiche polarisée (avec une broche plus large qu’une autre). Pour
réduire tout risque d’électrocution, cette fiche se branche dans une prise polarisée d’une seule
manière. Si la fiche ne rentre pas entièrement dans la prise, la tourner. Si elle ne branche
toujours pas, contacter un électricien qualifié. Ne pas forcer cette fonction de sécurité.
Cet appareil n’est pas destiné à être utilisé par des enfants ou des personnes handicapées
sans supervision.

How to use
How to use "Slow Cook"
Refer to the supplied COOKBOOK for the cooking recipe.
The cooker heats the ingredients up to the boiling temperature and then reduces the heat to 93 °C / 199 °F and continues cooking.
After awhile, it will reduce the temperature to 88 °C / 190 °F and continue cooking again.
By gradually reducing the temperature, the seasonings can easily soak into the ingredients. There is no worry of
boiling down even if the ingredients are heated for a long time.
This menu is suitable for dishes that have relatively large volume and need to simmer for a long time.
z
Be careful when making menus other than those listed in the supplied COOKBOOK. Some dishes may cause boil-over.
z
Stir ingredients well before cooking to prevent the seasonings from concentrating at the bottom of the inner pan.
zWhen you cook a dish using boiled sauce, cool the sauce down once before you start cooking.
zIf you want to add some thickness to the dish with starch, use it at the last step of the cooking.
