Installation Instructions

Unpacking

Remove all packing materials. Wash the cooking pot, steam vent, and other accessories, then dry thoroughly before using. The cooking pot is dishwasher safe.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING - ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

A 120 V, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the rice cooker is used. Sharing the power supply with other appliances will result in overheating.

Power Supply Cord

This Rice Cooker has a 3-prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, the plug will fit into an outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug.

A short power supply cord is used to reduce the risks of becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord, or of the cord being grabbed by children.

If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or technician install an outlet near the appliance. Do NOT use an extension cord.

Location Requirements

This rice cooker is designed for household use only and should not be used for commercial purposes.

Use indoors on a stable, level, non-heat sensitive surface such as a countertop in a location where the lid can be fully opened. Do NOT use outdoors.

Do not place the rice cooker on an area of the countertop that is exposed to direct sunlight, or where it might be splashed with cooking oil.

Recommended Clearance

Steam and heat emitted from the rice cooker may damage or discolor nearby walls or cabinets. It is recommended that the rice cooker be placed a minimum distance of 12" (30.5 cm) from walls or cabinets.

[Diagram showing rice cooker with arrows indicating a 12" (30.5 cm) clearance from walls/cabinets]

Operating Instructions

WARNING - FIRE/BURN HAZARD

Unplug immediately and do not use the rice cooker if:

Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.

Controls

IMPORTANT: To select a cooking program, the rice cooker must first be plugged into a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet (ON).

NOTE: The rice cooker is powered ON, but in standby mode (no heat).

Cooker Controls:

Cooking Programs

The cooking programs set the rice cooker time and temperature automatically for the selected dish. Average cooking time of rice is approximate; it will automatically increase or decrease depending on the amount being cooked. Cooking time of other cooking programs are preset, but can be adjusted as necessary.

Keep Warm mode begins automatically at the end of each cooking program. The timer displays from 0 to 24 hours. After 24 hours in Keep Warm mode, the rice cooker will return to the ON (standby) mode.

Using the Rice Cooker

The Comfee® Rice Cooker provides 12 different digital cooking programs to cook a variety of meals. Three rice programs automatically adjust time and temperature for perfect results. Other programs offer suggested times that can be adjusted.

Important Usage Notes:

Measuring Rice:

IMPORTANT: The total amount of rice and water should NOT exceed the 6 cup MAX level marked inside the cooking pot.

NOTE: The Rice Measure is significantly smaller than the standard U.S. cup measure.

Rinsing Rice:

Some types of rice are rinse-free; others require rinsing to remove excess starch, which can make rice sticky or cause burning/improper cooking. If water turns white or cloudy when added to rinse-free rice, drain and replace the water before cooking. Many recipes recommend rinsing quickly so the rice does not absorb water prior to cooking.

To Rinse Rice Quickly:

  1. Place a colander inside a larger bowl.
  2. Place the rice in the colander and rinse under cool running water.
  3. Using your hand, stir the rice around 3 to 4 times to separate the grains.
  4. Continue to rinse until the water in the bowl is clear.

Rinsing rice in hot water may prevent the rice from cooking properly.

Adding Other Ingredients:

If you wish to add other ingredients or seasonings to the rice, do so after adding the water. Adding ingredients before water may result in improperly cooked or too firm rice.
