SAvE ThESE INSTRUCTIONS . This product is for household use only. 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. TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user- serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel. 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 ove r.

MAKING RICE Important: As the rice expands and cooks, steam will come out of the vent in the lid. Do not place the multicooker directly under your cabinets. Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in cooking pan provided. 1. Measure desired amount of rice with the rice measure provided. Note: The rice measure provided is based on 5½ oz. Your multicooker can cook a maximum of 15 measures of dry rice. 2. Place rice in the cooking pan. Add water or other liquid, such as stock, broth or fruit juice. Use the water level markings inside the cooking pan as a guide for adding the right amount of water. Use the "BROWN RICE" markings when cooking brown rice and "WHITE RICE" for all other varieties. Important: Be careful not to add too much water as it may cause the unit to boil over. Note: Taste/hardness will vary depending on the quality/type of rice, the amount of water used and length of time the rice is cooked. For softer, fluffier rice, add a little more water. For firmer, crunchier rice, add a little less water. You may need to experiment to suit your taste. 3. Add butter, oil and/or seasonings as desired. 4. Place the lid on the cooking pan with the opening of the vent on the lid facing away from you, and not toward your cabinets. Note: Always keep the lid on the multicooker while cooking rice. 5. Plug into a standard electrical outlet. Two dashes will appear on the digital display. 6. Press the ON/OFF button; the word ON will appear in the display Caution: Do not put your hand over the steam vent as you may get burned with the hot steam. 7. Select WHITE or BROWN rice. 8. Once rice is cooked, the multicooker automatically switches to WARM and the red light above WARM turns on. The WARM function will operate until the appliance is turned off. 9. Let rice rest for about 15 minutes on WARM before serving. Fluff rice with a fork before removing from the appliance. Note: The unit will stay in the WARM cycle until it is unplugged or turned OFF.

89 Important Tips: • Do not keep small amounts of rice on WARM for extended periods of time. • During cooking, a thin crust may develop on the rice at the bottom of the bowl. • Fluff the rice before serving. • Use the plastic serving scoop (rubber spatula or a wooden spoon) to stir and remove rice. Do not use metal utensils that can scratch the interior surface. RICE COOKING GUIDE If desired, add seasoning and oil or butter with rice before adding water.

If desired, you can brown meats or sauté vegetables in the appliance. Once the appliance is turned on, select the desired temperature. (For browning and sautéing, select 350ºF.) Do not crowd meats to prevent steaming. 7. Combine meats, vegetables and liquids in the cooking pan. Stir with a wooden or plastic spoon until ingredients are well blended.

Stir them into the soup or stew and allow the mixture to cook an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Caution: Do not fill cooking pan higher than the maximum cooking line on the pan. 8. Place the lid on cooking pan. Note: Always keep lid on multicooker while cooking. 9. As the soup or stew cooks, steam may come out through the steam vent on the lid.
