5. Make sure the exterior of the rice pot is dry and clean. Then place the pot into the cooker base so it is centered and the
bottom is in direct contact with the heating plate (Fig. B). Failure to correctly position the pot may result in the rice
cooker malfunctioning.
Important: Never add water to the cooker base or cook without the pot in place.
6. Close the cover securely and plug the rice cooker into a 120 volt wall outlet.
7. Press the one-touch control down and the red cook light will illuminate.
Important: Never hold down the control as this will damage the unit.
Caution: During cooking and warming it is normal for steam to escape from the cover vent. To prevent steam burns,
keep hands and face away from the vent.
8. When cooking is complete the unit automatically switches to the WARM mode and the amber warm light will
illuminate.
Allow rice to stand for approximately 10 minutes before opening the cover to ensure optimum texture and moisture
levels.
9. Open cover, gently fluff rice using paddle provided, and serve.
Caution: Use caution when opening the cover as hot steam will escape and could cause burns.
Note: The rice pot features a premium nonstick finish for stick-free cooking. To help protect this special surface, use
the paddle which was included with your rice cooker. Using metal utensils in the rice pot may damage the nonstick
finish.
10. Do not leave rice in the pot on the WARM setting for more than 8 hours. Always unplug the rice cooker when the unit
is not in use.
