BEFORE USE
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED WHEN
USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1 Read all instructions thoroughly.
2 Avoid touching hot surfaces and do not close or clog the steam vent opening under any
circumstances. The handles and knobs are provided for your safety and protection.
3 To prevent hazardous operation or electric shock, do not immerse power cord, power
plug, or rice cooker (except inner cooking pan) in water or other liquids.
4 Close supervision is recommended when the appliance is used by or near children.
5 Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool
before adding or removing parts, and before cleaning the appliance. Make sure
appliance is OFF when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before
cleaning.
6 Do not use or operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner, unplug the appliance and return it to
the nearest authorized service facility or dealer for examination, repair or adjustment.
7 The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may be hazardous or may cause malfunction.
Do not use outdoors.
Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces and do not let the cord hang over the
edge of tables or counters.
Do not place the appliance on or near a heated surface such as a gas or electric stove,
or in a heated oven.
11 Always use extreme caution when moving appliances containing hot contents or liquids.
12 Plug the cord into a household electrical outlet. To disconnect, turn the power control to
OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.
13 Do not use the appliance for other than intended or specified purposes.
14 To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only the supplied inner cooking pan.
15 The plug to the appliance should be attached first before plugging the cord into a wall outlet.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS _
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
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.

IMPORTANTES MESURES DE SECURITE
LORS DE L'UTILISATION D'APPAREILS ELECTRIQUES, SUIVEZ LES
PRECAUTIONS DE BASE SUIVANTES:
1 Lisez bien toutes les instructions.
2 Ne touchez pas les surfaces qui peuvent etre chaudes. Utilisez les poignees ou les boutons.
N'obturez en aucun cas I'orifice d'echappement de la vapeur.
3 Pour eviter les chocs electriques, n'immergez jamais le cordon electrique ou la prise, ou
encore I'autocuiseur a riz (a I'exception de la marmite situee a I'interieur) dans I'eau ou dans
tout autre liquide.
4 Soyez vigilants lorsque les enfants utilisent I'appareil ou se trouvent a proximite.
5 Debranchez I'appareil apres usage ou avant de le nettoyer. Laissez I'appareil refroidir avant
d'en retirer ou d'y inserer les accessoires et avant de le nettoyer. Assurez-vous que
I'appareil est sur OFF lorsque vous ne vous en servez pas, avant d'en retirer ou d'y inserer
les accessoires detachables ou encore avant de le nettoyer.
6 N'utilisez pas I'appareil avec une prise ou un cordon electrique endommage. Ne vous servez
pas d'un appareil qui pour une raison ou une autre fonctionne mal. Emportez I'appareil chez
le reparateur ou le vendeur le plus proche en vue d'un controle ou d'une reparation.
7 L'utilisation d'accessoires non recommandes par le fabricant est susceptible d'entramer des
accidents.
8 N'utilisez pas I'appareil a I'exterieur.
9 Ne laissez pas le cordon electrique pendre par-dessus le bord d'une table ou d'un comptoir
et assurez-vous qu'il n'est pas en contact avec une surface chaude.
10 Ne placez pas I'appareil pres d'une surface chaude telle qu'un bruleur a gaz allume, une
plaque electrique, un poele ou encore dans un four en train de chauffer.
11 Soyez tres prudent lorsque vous deplacez I'appareil contenant un liquide ou un aliment chaud.
12 Branchez le cordon dans une prise domestique. Avant de debrancher I'appareil, placez-le
sur la position ARRET puis retirez la fiche de la prise murale.
13 N'utilisez pas I'appareil pour d'autres functions que celles auxquelles il est destine.
14 Pour minimiser les risques de chocs electriques, n'utilisez que la marmite interne fournie
avec I'appareil.
10 Veuillez d'abord relier le cordon d'alimentation a I'appareil avant de brancher la fiche dans
une prise murale.
CONSERVE! CES INSTRUCTIONS
GET APPAREIL EST UNIQUEMENT A USAGE DOMESTIQUE.
I'appareil est equipe d'un cordon court afin de reduire les risques d'enchevetrement ou de
chutes sur le cordon. Des rallonges peuvent etre utilisees a condition que toutes les
precautions soient prises lors de leur utilisation.
Si vous vous servez d'une rallonge, sa puissance electrique indiquee devra etre egale ou
superieure a celle de I'appareil; Le cordon devra etre arrange de maniere a ce qu'il ne pende
pas depuis le haut d'un comptoir ou d'une table ou il serait a portee de main des enfants et ou
il occasionnerait des accidents dus a une chute ou a un enchevetrement. L'appareil a une prise
polarisee (I'une des lames est plus large que I'autre). Pour reduire les risques de chocs
electriques, la prise s'insere dans un seui sens a I'interieur d'une prise murale polarisee. Si la
prise ne s'adapte pas correctement dans la prise murale, retournez-la. Si elle ne s'adapte
toujours pas, contactez un electrician specialise. Ne cherchez en aucun cas a modifier la prise.
