IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
Rice Cooker Safety
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product is provided with a
grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock.
The plug fits only one way into a grounded outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug
in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected
to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an
approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating
of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the
rating of the appliance. The extension cord must be a
grounding-type, 3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange
the extension cord so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on or
accidentally tripped over.
OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
Parts and Features
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Wash cooking pot and lid following the “Cleaning” instructions in this Use & Care Guide. Dry thoroughly.
2. Do not throw away the plastic rice-measurer that came with your unit. One rice-measurer cup does not equal
one standard U.S. cup. A rice-measurer cup is equivalent to approximately 6 ounces. A standard U.S. cup is
8 ounces. When directed to use “1 cup” for either rice or water, this means use one full, level rice-measurer
cup. Most rice package directions are listed in terms of rice-measurer cups. The capacity of the plastic rice-
measurer is 30 ounces.
