Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

Cooker doesn't turn on.

Rice is not cooked.

Rice is mushy.

Rice cooker starts to "beep" during Steam Cook.

Cooking pot not fitting.

PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

- Cooker is not plugged in. Make sure rice cooker is plugged into a properly operating electrical outlet.

- Not enough water/cooking liquid. Follow package directions.

- Place cooking pot securely into the base. NOTE: If cooking pot is bent or warped, it will not seat properly in base and, therefore, will not conduct heat correctly. To replace cooking pot, call the toll-free Customer Assistance number listed on the cover of this guide.

- Let rice rest for 10 to 15 minutes after cooking is complete and rice cooker has switched to WARM.

- Too much liquid added to cooking pot. Reduce liquid.

- Cooking pot has boiled dry. Add more water and select STEAM COOK function to continue steaming or press START (I).

- Call the toll-free Customer Assistance number listed on the cover of this guide.

- Rice cooker is adjusting time for the type of rice and amount of rice and moisture in the cooker. The rice cooker is working correctly. You may notice that the cooker will place a hold on the time or significantly decrease cooking time as the moisture content changes.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
