This appliance is supplied with a short power cord to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or
tripping over. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is
used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and a longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where It can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug was designed to fit into a polarized outlet in only one direction. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, do not attempt to force it or modify it in any way. Simply reverse the plug and
insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

from the gap between the Outer Lid and the Main Body, or the Outer Lid to open suddenly. Please do
not cook the following:
• Foods that expand after cooking such as processed seafood products and beans.
(For sweet rice cooked with adzuki beans, boil the adzuki beans separately before adding them to the rice.)
• Foods that may bubble over such as those using baking soda.
•Thick foods such as curry and stews.
• Foods with large amounts of oil.
• Foods that bubble up such as jams.

Lid Gasket, the Pressure Control Valve, the
Safety Valve, the Inner Lid Filter, or around
the Steam Vent before cooking. Close the
Outer Lid securely until it clicks shut.
• Rice or other matter stuck on these areas may
prevent the Outer Lid from closing completely. It may
also cause steam to come out from the gap between
the Outer Lid and the Main Body, or the Outer Lid
may open suddenly and rice or other ingredients
may boil over. Additionally, for safety purposes,
it may prevent the Rice Cooker from cooking.
•The Outer Lid may not open if rice or other matter is stuck.

ACTIVATED BROWN RICE (gaba brown)
This Rice Cooker has two settings for cooking brown rice. The GABA BROWN setting on the menu activates brown rice for
increased nutritionai vaiue.
GABA BROWN SETTING:
When GABA BROWN is seiected on the menu, the Rice Cooker wiii begin activating the brown rice, after which it wiii start
cooking automaticaliy. During the brown rice activation process, the temperature in the Inner Cooking Pan is kept at approx.
104“F{approx. 40°C) for approx. 2 hours. Cooking will take longer to complete. -* See "Estimated Cooking Time" on pg.15.
By activating brown rice, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a naturally occurring nutrient in brown rice, increases to 150% of
the amount contained in non-activated brown rice. This process also makes brown rice softer, thus making it readily edible.
What is GABA?
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a type of amino acid said to lower blood pressure and relieve stress.
