POLARIZED PLUG

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

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be

used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

a) The marked electrical rating of the power cord or extension cord should be at least

as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

GETTING STARTED

This appliance is intended for household use only.

• Remove all packing material, any stickers, and the plastic band around the

power plug.

• Go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your product.

• Wash all removable parts as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING.

Place the clean, dry cooking pot in the cooking base.

• Select a location where this unit is to be used. Place the unit on a stable, heat

resistant surface, free from cloth, liquids and any other ﬂammable materials.

Ensure that the unit has enough space all the way around and above it to

allow heat to ﬂow without damage to cabinets or walls.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR

RICE COOKER

• It is not necessary to preheat the rice cooker before use.

• The cooking bowl gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or

potholders when touching any outer or inner surface of the appliance.

• During the ﬁrst few minutes of use you may notice smoke and a slight

odor. This is caused by oil that may have been used during manufacturing

of the unit and will not impact the performance.

• Do not try to stop the rice cooker from switching to the warm mode.

• As rice cooks, steam will escape through vent in lid. Place glass lid on the

rice cooker so the steam vent is facing away from cabinets and walls. Do not

place hand over steam vent while rice is cooking; the hot steam may burn.

• Use the plastic serving spoon (or a wooden spoon) to stir and remove

rice. Do not use metal utensils that can scratch the nonstick cooking bowl.

• Do not ﬁll the cooking bowl higher than highest water marking measurement.

OPERATING YOUR RICE COOKER

COOKING RICE

1. Measure desired amount of rice with the provided measuring cup and

add to the cooking bowl. The maximum amount of dry rice is 1 ½ rice

cup measures.

NOTE: When measuring uncooked rice; do not use a standard 1 cup (8 fluid

oz.) measuring cup. A standard rice cup is ¾ cup (6 fluid oz.); the same size

as the provided rice measuring cup. One rice cup measure of dry rice will

yield 2 standard cups of cooked rice.

2. Rinse the rice with water to remove any excess starch and then drain.

3. For white rice, fill the cooking bowl with water

to the line that matches the number of rice cups

being cooked. (A) Add butter, oil, or seasonings

as desired. See cooking chart in the Helpful

Hints section for additional details on water and

rice measures for different types of rice.

4. Place the cooking pot into the cooking base

and then place the lid on the pot.

5. Plug in the appliance; the warm indicator light

will automatically illuminate. The appliance will start heating on warm as

soon as the cord is plugged into the outlet.

6. Push down the control switch. The cook indicator light will illuminate and

the cooking will begin.

7. When the rice is ready, the control switch will flip up and turn to warm.

8. For best results, allow the rice to rest on warm for 15 minutes with the lid

in place. This will help further steam the rice. Always stir the rice with the

serving spoon before serving.

9. Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow the rice cooker

to completely cool before cleaning.

COOKING SOUPS, STEWS, AND MORE

1. Add ingredients into the cooking bowl.

2. Place cooking bowl into the cooking base, then place the lid on the pot.

3. Plug in the appliance; the warm indicator light will automatically

illuminate. The appliance will start heating on warm as soon as the cord is

plugged into the outlet.

4. Push down the control switch. The cook indicator light will illuminate

and the cooking will begin.

5. If desired, set kitchen timer for cooking time. Manually switch the

appliance to warm when the food is ready by pushing up the control

switch.

Note: The rice cooker will not switch to warm until all the liquids are boiled

away. For best results, monitor cooking progress closely and do not leave the

rice cooker unattended.

6. Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow the rice cooker

to completely cool before cleaning.

CLEANING AND CARE

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualiﬁed

service personnel.

CLEANING

Important: Never immerse cooking base in water or other liquids.

1. Always unplug the rice cooker and allow to cool completely before cleaning.

2. Wash cooking bowl and glass lid in warm, soapy water. If food sticks to

the cooking bowl, fill with warm, soapy water and allow it to soak before

cleaning with plastic scouring pad

Note: Both the cooking bowl and glass lid are dishwasher safe.

3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. Wipe interior and exterior of the cooking base with a soft, slightly damp

cloth or sponge.

Important: Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads to clean the

cooking base, as they may damage the surfaces.

5. If water accidentally gets into the switch area or onto the heating plate,

allow the rice cooker to dry completely before using.

STORING

Make sure that the appliance is thoroughly cool and dry. Never wrap the cord

tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled. Placing the lid on upside-

down for storage can help save space.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

RICE TIPS

• If rice or other foods start to boil over, remove the lid and stir for a couple

minutes. Leaving the lid off for a short period of time will allow some of

the liquids to boil off and for the mixture to slightly cool. Place the lid

back on the rice cooker and repeat if needed.

• 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. About ¾ tsp. of kosher salt is recommended for each rice cup (6 ﬂuid

oz.) of uncooked rice.

• White rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place for

up to one year.

• Brown rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place for

up to six months. Refrigeration or freezing extends its shelf life.

• Try using broth, stock or reconstituted bouillon in place of water for

additional ﬂavor. If you do, no additional salt may be necessary.

• Do not keep small amounts of rice in the warm cycle for extended periods

of time because it can dry out the rice.

• During cooking, a thin crust may develop on the rice at the bottom of

the bowl. If you do not like rice with a crust, you can easily peel it off and

discard it.

• Taste/hardness will vary depending on the quality/type of rice and length

of time it is cooked. For softer, ﬂufﬁer rice, add a little more water. For

ﬁrmer, crunchier rice, use less water.

• For other types of grains not listed in the cooking chart, follow package

directions.

ADDITIONAL USES FOR YOUR RICE COOKER

Packaged foods: condensed and ready to serve soups, pastas, and stews

• Do not ﬁll bowl above the largest water marking cup level on the

cooking bowl.

• For even heating, stir occasionally.

• Always use a kitchen timer. Do not rely on the control switch on the cooker

since it is not intended to be an indicator of cooking time for soups and stews.

• Use only boneless meats and poultry that are cut into cubes no larger than 1½

inches. It is not necessary to brown the meats before cooking.

• When cooking rice or pasta in the soup, add additional liquid in the recipe.

• Since most frozen vegetables cook very quickly, it is best to add them at the

end of the cooking time. Stir them into the soup or stew and allow the mixture

to cook an additional 5 to 10 minutes.

• Choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less.

Oatmeal or Hot Cereals

• Steel Cut Oats work best.

• Do not ﬁll bowl more than half way with liquids, as the oatmeal will

expand during the cooking process.

• For even heating, stir occasionally.

• When the oatmeal is done, the rice cooker will switch to warm.

Please note that this is for well-done oatmeal. If you prefer a different

consistency, monitor the cooking process to manually switch to warm for

desired results.

• Choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less.
