IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord
or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be
a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) 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.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

Product may vary slightly from what is illustrated.How to Use
This appliance is for household use only.
GETTING STARTED
• Remove all packing material and stickers from the product.
• Remove and save literature.
• Wash and dry all removable parts as instructed in Care and Cleaning section of this
manual.
• Place appliance on a flat, stable surface.
COOKING RICE:
1. Measure desired amount of rice to be cooked using rice
measure provided; do not use standard 1 cup measuring cup
(A). (The rice measure provided holds 2/3 cup uncooked
rice - about 5 oz. or 150 grams ) This rice cooker can cook up
to 15 measures of uncooked rice and yield a maximum of
about 28 cups of cooked rice.
2. Place rice in the cooking bowl.
NOTE: Use only the cooking bowl provided with this appliance
to cook rice.
3. Using the water level markings on the inside of the cooking bowl as a guide, add the
amount of water that matches the number of measures of rice to be cooked. For
example, if preparing 4 measures of rice, add water to 4 cup water level mark. Adding
too much water may make the appliance boil over.
4. Add butter or oil and desired seasonings.
NOTE: The first time you prepare rice use the handy rice cooking chart included in the
Use and Care on pages 6 and 7. For softer, fluffy rice add a little more water; for rice
that is more firm and has a drier texture add a little less water.
5. Before placing cooking bowl into rice cooker, be sure the heating plate and outside
surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Avoid having rice kernels or other
foods fall into the rice cooker.
6. Insert cooking bowl into rice cooker.
7. Place glass lid on the cooking bowl. For best results always keep glass lid on while
cooking.
NOTE: As rice cooks, steam will escape through vent in lid. Place lid on rice cooker so
vent is facing away from cabinets and walls. Do not place hands over steam vent while
rice is cooking or has finished cooking; the hot steam may burn.
8. Uncoil cord and plug into standard electrical outlet. The WARM indicator light
comes on.
9. Press down the ON switch. The COOK indicator light comes on and cooking begins.
As the rice cooks and expands, steam comes out through the steam vent on the lid.
10. When rice is cooked, the COOK indicator light turns off and the switch pops up; the
rice cooker automatically switches to the Warm function. The WARM indicator light
will stay on until the appliance is unplugged.
NOTE: Do not try to stop the rice cooker from switching to the Warm mode. Do not try
to press the ON switch once the Warm cycle has begun.
11. For best results, let the cooked rice rest for 15 minutes, covered, to further steam
the rice. If holding cooked rice longer than 30 minutes, stir rice occasionally to
prevent browning of rice on the bottom of the cook bowl.

12. Just before serving, remove lid and fluff rice. The lid hanger may be placed into the
hole in the handle with the lip of the lid resting on the condensation catcher to keep
water off the countertop
(B).
CAUTION: When removing the lid always lift it away from the body to prevent getting
burned from the hot steam.
NOTE:
Use serving scoop provided with appliance to prevent damage to nonstick surface of the cooking bowl.
13. Unplug appliance when not in use.
STEAMER BASKET
Refer to cooking chart on pages 7 and 8 for suggestions on
cooking times and seasonings.
1. Using standard liquid measuring cup, pour about 4 cups of
cold tap water into cooking bowl. Add seasoning, if desired.
2. Place food to be cooked in the steamer basket.
3. Place basket on top of cooking bowl (C).
NOTE:
Before placing cooking bowl into rice cooker, be sure the heating plate and outside surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Avoid having any food fall into the rice cooker. 4. Cover with glass lid. Always keep glass lid on while steaming.
NOTE: As food cooks, steam will escape through vent in lid.
Place lid on rice cooker so vent is facing away from cabinets and
walls. Do not place hand over steam vent while food is cooking;
the hot steam may burn.
5. Plug cord into standard electrical outlet. The WARM indicator
light comes on.
6. Press down the ON switch. The COOK indicator light comes
on and cooking begins.
NOTE: When steaming foods, the COOK indicator light is not intended to be an indication of cooking time. Always use a kitchen timer and do not leave these foods unattended.

8. Use a kitchen timer and begin checking vegetables after about 10 minutes.
9. When cooking is completed remove food and serve. Unplug appliance.
10. The steamer basket has a removable divider that allows you to cook 2 different foods
at one time.
MAKING SOUPS AND STEWS
1. Combine foods to be cooked in the cooking bowl provided with this appliance. Do
not use another bowl. Stir with wooden spoon or rubber spatula to distribute
food evenly.
2. Use only boneless meats cut in cubes no larger than 1½ inches. It is not necessary to
brown meats first but this does add more flavor.
3. Do not overfill the cooking bowl.
4. For best results, select dishes that can be prepared in less than 1 hour.
5. If using frozen vegetables, they only require about 5 to 10 minutes to cook. Add them
near the end of the cooking time.
6. Always use a kitchen timer when preparing foods with a sauce.
NOTE: The switch on the rice cooker is not intended to be an indicator of cooking time
for soups and stews.
7. Do not hold soups and stews in the Warm cycle. Unplug the unit once the food is
finished cooking.

HELPFUL HINTS
• Although the rice measure holds about 5 ounces of uncooked rice; the cooked rice is
given in 8-ounce cup measures.
• Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt. If using Kosher salt,
you may find you want to add a little more than if using table salt. Use about ¾ tsp.
Kosher salt to each cup of uncooked rice.
• White rice should be kept in an airtight container in a cool dark place.
• Brown rice has a limited shelf life; store it for no more than a month before using.
• For additional flavor, try using broth, stock or reconstituted bouillon in place of water.
If you do, no additional salt may be necessary.

Care and Cleaning This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel. • Unplug the unit before cleaning and let it cool completely. • Never immerse the unit in water or other liquid. • Wash the cooking bowl, lid, serving scoop and rice measure in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads-they may scratch the nonstick surface or could result in poor contact with the heating plate. Helpful Tips: Since the rice cooking bowl has a nonstick coating, try this method: add hot, soapy water and allow the bowl to stand for several minutes. This releases any food particles and with just a wipe of a sponge or plastic scrubber the bowl is perfectly clean. • Wipe the interior of the unit with a dry cloth. Clean the outside surface with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. • If water accidentally gets into the switch area or onto the heating plate, allow to dry thoroughly before using the rice cooker.

2. Coloque el arroz en el recipiente de cocción.
NOTA: Utilice únicamente el recipiente de cocción que se
incluye para cocinar el arroz.
3. Tomando como referencia las marcas de nivel de agua en el interior del recipiente
de cocción, incorpore la cantidad de agua que le corresponde a la cantidad de arroz
que desea preparar. Por ejemplo, si va a preparar 4 medidas de arroz, añada agua
hasta llegar a la marca de nivel de agua para 4 tazas. Si añade una cantidad excesiva
de agua, hará que el recipiente rebose.
4. Añada mantequilla o aceite y condimentos al gusto.
NOTA: La primera vez que vaya a preparar arroz, utilice la tabla de cocción incluida en las páginas 19 a 21 del manual de uso y mantenimiento. Para conseguir un arroz más suave y jugoso, añada un poco más de agua; si desea un arroz con una textura más firme y seca, añada menos cantidad de agua.
5. Antes de introducir el recipiente de cocción en la olla arrocera, asegúrese de que
la resistencia y la superficie exterior del recipiente de cocción estén limpias y secas.
Evite que granos de arroz u otros alimentos penetren en el interior de la arrocera.
6. Introduzca el recipiente de cocción en la arrocera.
7. Coloque la tapa de cristal sobre el recipiente de cocción. Para obtener resultados
óptimos, mantenga la tapa de cristal colocada en posición durante la cocción.
NOTA: Durante la cocción del arroz, el vapor se liberará a través de la salida de vapor.
Coloque la tapa sobre la arrocera de tal forma que la salida de vapor esté alejada de
armarios y paredes. No coloque las manos sobre la salida de vapor durante la cocción o
al final de la misma; el vapor caliente puede quemarle las manos.
8. Desenrede el cable y enchufe el hervidor en una toma eléctrica estándar. El piloto
luminoso de calentamiento (WARM) se encenderá.
9. Presione el interruptor de encendido (ON). El piloto luminoso de cocción (COOK)
se encenderá y la cocción se iniciará. A medida que los granos de arroz se vayan
cociendo y aumentando de tamaño, el vapor saldrá a través de la tapa.
10. Una vez finalizada la cocción, el piloto COOK se apaga y el interruptor salta.
Entonces, la arrocera activa automáticamente la función para mantener caliente
el arroz (WARM). El piloto luminoso WARM permanecerá encendido hasta que
la cenidad se desenchufe.
