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.

• 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.

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

add to the cooking bowl. The maximum amount of dry rice is 10 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 the Chart for Rice Cooking in the Helpful Hints section for additional details on water and rice measures for brown rice.7

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.

• 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.

• To reduce foaming, add a small amount of butter or oil to the water before cooking.

• 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 (5 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.10

• 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/firmness will vary depending on the quality/type of rice used and length of time it is cooked. For softer, fluffier rice, add a little more water. For firmer 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 highest 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.

• To make pasta, add 6–7 cups of water to the cooking bowl and bring it to a boil on the cook setting. Add up to ½ lb. of pasta, stir and cover. Cook until noodles have reached desired consistency and drain. 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.11
