• To prevent personal injury, do not touch the surface of the Rice Cooker during or following use. Allow appliance to cool.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. If damaged, return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
• Always be sure to unplug the appliance from outlet and allow to cool completely prior to assembly, disassembly, cleaning, and storage.
• Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the Pot as this may damage the non-stick surface.
• Do not use appliance outdoors or for commercial purposes.
• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of tables or counters.
• Do not leave the Mixing Paddle or Measuring Scoop in the Removable Pot while you are operating your Rice Cooker.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they are provided with supervision and instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Refrain from using attachments that are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer, as this may result in personal injury, electric shock, or fire.
• Extension cords are not recommended for use with this appliance. If an extension cord must be used, make sure the electrical rating of the wire is compatible with the Rice Cooker.
• Always attach plug to the appliance first, then plug into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.

• Gently wipe down all parts. Do not submerge the Body or Power Cord in water or other liquids.

Using Your Rice Cooker

Follow these steps to cook your food:

   Note: If cooking white rice, use the included Measuring Scoop. Do not use a standard measuring cup. Scoop desired amount of white rice into the Pot, rinse, and then fill the Pot with water to the line that corresponds to the number of scoops of white rice being cooked. For example, if you place 1 Measuring Scoop of rice into the Pot, fill the Removable Pot to the bottom of the 1 line with water. Depending on your preference, you may need to adjust the amount of water to achieve the desired consistency.

3. Place the Removable Pot into the Body and cover with the Lid.
4. Plug the Rice Cooker into an outlet. The Warm Indicator Light will turn on automatically. To begin cooking your food, press down the Cooking Switch. The Cook Light Indicator will turn on.
5. When the Cooking Switch turns off, check to see if your food is done. Once the Cooking Switch turns off, the Warm Indicator Light will automatically turn on and will stay on indefinitely to warm your food until you unplug the Rice Cooker. When your food is done, use the Mixing Paddle or other non-metal utensils to serve.

   Note: Use caution. Appliance is hot.
