Using an Extension Cord

A short power cord is provided to reduce tripping hazards. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, please follow these instructions:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the cooker's (15A or over).
2. Only use an extension cord that is grounded (for countries where applicable).

4. Place the extension cord where it cannot be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

Cleaning

1. Un-plug the power cord from the wall before cleaning.
2. DO NOT immerse any part of the outer body into water. Wipe clean with a dish cloth.
3. Remove the water reservoir and dispose of collected water. Wash the reservoir with hot, sudsy water and allow to completely dry before replacing.
4. To clean the cooking pot, soak in hot sudsy water then gently clean the bottom of the cooking pot with a dish cloth. BE CAREFUL not to press down too hard, or drop anything on the bottom of the cooking pot, as this can cause warping and inhibit the proper functioning of the rice cooker.
5. Wipe the cooker body and cooking pot dry before storing.

Suggestions for Best Results

1. When washing rice, use warm water and wash lightly. Do not scrub with force.
   Pour out the water quickly and repeat the process 2 to 3 times until the rice is clear.
2. After the rice is washed, it should be immersed in water for 30-60 minutes before cooking.
3. The amount of water needed will depend on the age and quality of the rice. Generally, 1 cup of rice requires 1 cup of water.
4. For best results, do not warm rice for more than 8 hours.
