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 necessary 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.
8 Do not use outdoors.
9 Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces and do not let the cord hang over the edge of tables
or counters.
10 Do not place the appliance on or near a heated surface such as a gas or electric stove, or in a
heated oven.
1 1 Always use extreme caution when moving appliances containing hot contents or liquids.
1 2 Plug the cord into a household electrical outlet. To disconnect, turn the power control to OFF, then
remove plug from wall outlet.
1 3 Do not use the appliance for other than intended or specified purposes.

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.
