1Important Safeguards
Follow the safety instructions
in order to use your rice cooker
safely for many years.
●Remove any cooked rice or remaining grains of

Failure to do so may cause steam to leak or
contents to boil over. This may cause malfunction
or improperly cooked rice.
●Do not cover the rice cooker
with a cloth or any other
objects during cooking.
