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

way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,

contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming

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:

• 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.

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

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

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

firmer, crunchier rice, use less water.

• If steaming foods and cooking rice at the same time, do not cook more

than 2 standard rice cups.

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

directions.

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

cooking bowl.

• 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.
