FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, injury or death. Read the Installation, Operating and Maintenance Instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.

TO THE PURCHASER

Contact your local gas supplier and ask instructions in the event the user smells gas. This information should be posted in a prominent location.

THE INSTALLER MUST LEAVE THIS MANUAL WITH THE UNIT AFTER INSTALLATION.

THE CONSUMER IS TO RETAIN THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure the unit is properly assembled with drip tray, outer jacket, rice pot and cover in their proper positions. The rice should be in the pot prepared by the methods described on page 8. If the components are not properly seated, the unit cannot operate normally.
2. Open the manual valve to the unit. Position the Jacket Window directly over START and COOK buttons.
3. Depress and hold the blue stem on the safety control located at the right of the burner base. This will allow gas to pass to the START button.
4. With the safety control stem depressed, push the left button marked START down until you hear a click, then release it. The pilot should light. The red button marked WARM controls the pilot and is hidden by the START button when off. Pushing the START button also depresses the WARM button, exposing it. It will stay down until pushed up to extinguish the pilot. If the pilot does not light, repeat steps 2 & 3.
5. Keep the safety valve stem depressed for a total of 30 seconds after the pilot has lit and then release the stem. The pilot should remain lit. If pilot fails to remain lit, see Trouble Shooting.
6. After the pilot has lit, Push Main Burner Control Button marked COOK to ignite the main burner and start cooking. The cook cycle will last approximately 22 minutes. When the cook button jumps up to the off position, allow the rice to remain undisturbed for an additional 10 minutes to cure. The curing time allows the rice to become fluffy and improves taste.

WARNING: When igniting the pilot, position the Jacket Window directly over START and COOK buttons. Do not be too close to the viewing hole when igniting.

SHUT DOWN: When removing the pot, make sure to push up the red button WARM until it clicks and is hidden by the START button. It is then in the "OFF" position. A five minute complete shutoff period is required before lighting or relighting pilot.

ASSEMBLY & COOKING

Step 1: Set Drip Pan on Base correctly. Do not use Drip Pan upside down.

Step 2: Align the Jacket Window directly over START and COOK buttons. Be sure that the Outer Jacket is sitting firmly in Drip Pan.

Step 3: Place the Rice Pot with rice and water into the Outer jacket. Make sure that the Rice Pot is level and sitting evenly in the jacket.

Step 4: Place the lid on the Rice Pot and ligth the burner. To light the burner, refer to operating instructions on page 6. Do not open lid while cooking. When the cooking is completed, the COOK button will pop up and the main burner will automatically shut off. Wait 10 minutes after main burner shuts off before removing lid to allow rice to "cure". The pilot keeps cooked rice hot (about 160^ / 71^ ) for four hours.

Step 5: Shut pilot off by pushing up the red keep warm button. See shut down instructions on page 6.

SEASONING THE RICE POT

A new Rice Pot should be carefully seasoned once before use. Wash rice in the rice pot using tap water. Remove the rice, leaving only the "milky" looking water in the pot. Light the pilot and initiate the cooking process. Using ordinary water for seasoning the pot may cause discoloration but will not effect either the unit or cooked rice.

VISUAL BURNER CHECK

When operating, burner flame should be light blue in color and should have no yellow tips or lifting from the burner. The air/gas mixture is adjusted by moving the air shutter arm under the unit below the main gas valve.

RICE PREPARATION

1. Measure rice with measuring cup provided. This unit will cook a maximum of 15 pounds of dry rice. Uncooked rice volume triples after cooking.
2. Determine the quantity of rice to be cooked. The maximum is 10 full measuring cups, the minimum is half that amount. Measure the rice into the pot and wash 4 or 5 times with fresh water. When wash water becomes almost clear, stop washing and drain.
3. Cover the rice with 1" of water. A time-honored alternate method is to gently place your hand on the rice. Add enough water to reach the center of your knuckles where your fingers join your hand.
4. Cover rice pot with stainless steel cover provided. Check to be sure that the pot is properly seated in the cooker base and the water level is of uniform depth covering the rice. For really tender, delicious rice, let rice soak in pot for about 10 minutes before igniting main burner.

RICE COOKING TIPS

1. When cooking half-pot of rice, turn gas valve full on, and note flame on burner. Then turn gas valve slightly to OFF position until flame is reduced by half.
2. Length of cooking time will vary according to type of gas used, gas pressure to burner, and quantity of rice being cooked.
3. When main burner automatically shuts off, wait 10-15 minutes before removing lid to serve allowing rice to "cure". Rice in this unit will remain hot (about 160^ / 71^ ) for four hours.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. The rice pot of your RR-55 cooker is designed for use in this unit only. Never set the pot over any other stove as it will damage the thermostatic element and not operate automatically in the future.
2. Keep the Piezo Electric Ignition clean and dry by wiping foreign matter off with dry cloth as necessary. Do not press down ignition knob when anyone is touching electrode as electric shock will result. If lighter fails to spark, check carefully that it is clean, dry and the black neoprene line from the ignition assembly is connected. Call your dealer or gas service for assistance if it continues to malfunction.
3. Cooker base connected to gas supply may be cleaned with damp cloth and mild soap or detergent. Never immerse unit into water for cleaning. Be careful never to strain gas connection as this will damage manifold and could be very dangerous.
4. Rice pot, cover, and enamel body may be removed for cleaning. These parts should be cleaned and carefully reassembled to prevent damage to unprotected cooking sensor. Do not force fit these parts as they assemble easily if properly positioned. Refer to sketch and picture when in doubt.
5. After cooker is cleaned and assembled, leave all gas valves in "OFF" position, rice pot centered and resting evenly on enamel outer body of cooker.
