IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles
or knobs.
3. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do
not immerse the Rice Cooker/Steamer housing
in water or any other liquid. If housing falls into
liquid, unplug the cord from outlet immediately.
DO NOT reach into the liquid.
4. To avoid possible accidental injury, close
supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or
taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance has malfunctioned or has been
dropped or damaged in any way or is not
operating properly. Return the appliance to
the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for
examination, repair or mechanical or
electrical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended by
Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or
risk of injury.
8. Do not use outdoors or anywhere the cord or
motor housing might come into contact with
water while in use.
9. Do not use the Rice Cooker/Steamer for any-
thing other than its intended use.
10. To avoid the possibility of the Rice Cooker/
Steamer being accidentally pulled off work
area, which could result in damage to it or in
personal injury, do not let cord hang over edge
of table or counter.
11. To avoid damage to cord and possible fire or
electrocution hazard, do not let cord contact
hot surfaces, including a stove.
12. Extreme caution must be used when moving
any appliance containing hot oil or other hot
liquids.
13. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
14. Do not operate Rice Cooker/Steamer in water
or under running water.
15. To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only
in removable container. Do not immerse the
container in water.

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE
ONLY
SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks of becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance. The 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.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the
plug in any way.
