IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances, including the following:

Important: Read all instructions carefully before first use.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or knobs.
Use only on a level, dry and heat-resistant surface.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or the appliance in water or any other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.
Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow unit to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Aroma® customer service for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Aroma® Housewares may result in fire, electrical shock or injury.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter or table.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
Use only with a 120V AC power outlet.
Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing rice, hot oil or other hot liquids.
Do not touch, cover or obstruct the steam vent on the top of the rice cooker as it is extremely hot and may cause scalding.
Always unplug from the base of the wall outlet. Never pull on the cord.
The rice cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating appliances. If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, the rice cooker may not operate properly.
Always make sure the outside of the inner pot is dry prior to use. If the inner pot is returned to the cooker when wet, it may damage or cause the product to malfunction.
Use extreme caution when opening the lid during or after cooking. Hot steam will escape and may cause scalding.
Food should not be left in the inner pot with the Warm function on for more than 12 hours.
To prevent damage or deformation, do not use the inner pot on a stovetop or burner.
To disconnect, ﬂip cook switch to Warm then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the removable inner pot provided.

Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from it being grabbed by children, and becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

WARNING

Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep appliance & cord away from children.

NEVER

Drape cord over edge of counter.
Use outlet below counter.
Use extension cord.

Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other); follow the instructions below:

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.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Automatically switches to Warm; perfect for keeping rice ready to serve.

Before First Use

Read all instructions and important safeguards.
Remove all packaging materials and check that all items have been received in good condition.
Tear up all plastic bags and dispose of them properly as they can pose a risk to children.
Remove the inner pot from the cooker and clean with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before returning to the cooker.
Wash the lid and all other accessories in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Wipe the cooker body clean with a damp cloth.

Note:

If washing in the dishwasher, a slight discoloration to the inner pot and accessories may occur. This is cosmetic only and will not affect performance.
Any other servicing should be performed by Aroma Housewares.

To Clean

Remove the inner pot when the cooker has completely cooled.
Hand wash the lid and all accessories or place on the top rack of the dishwasher.
Wipe the cooker body clean with a damp cloth.
Thoroughly dry cooker body, lid and all accessories. Reassemble for next use.

Helpful Hints:

The provided rice cooker cup is the equivalent to a 3/4 standard US cup

Troubleshooting

Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.

If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker switches to Warm, additional water and cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is, add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir through. Place the lid on top and switch to Cook. When the cooker switches to Warm mode, remove the lid and stir the rice to check the consistency. Repeat as necessary until rice is soft and moist.

Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.

If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the cooker switches to Warm, use the serving spatula to stir the rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moist) part of the rice as well as release excess moisture. Place the lid on top and allow to remain on Warm mode for 10-30 minutes as needed, removing the lid and stirring periodically to release excess moisture.

Note: Because rice varieties may vary in their make-up, results may differ.

Cooking Rice & Grain

Using the provided measuring cup, add rice or grain to the inner pot.
Rinse to remove excess starch. Drain.
For white rice, fill with water to the line which matches the number of cups of rice being cooked. For brown rice or grain, see the "Grain & Water Measurement Tables" on page 8.
Place the inner pot into the cooker.
Place the lid securely onto the rice cooker.
Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC wall outlet.
Press the cook switch down to begin cooking. The cook indicator light will illuminate as the rice cooker begins cooking the rice or grain.
When rice or grain is ready, the cook switch will automatically flip up and switch on to Warm mode.
For best results, stir the rice or grain with the serving spatula to distribute any remaining moisture.
When finished serving, unplug the power cord to turn the rice cooker off.

Caution:
The rice cooker will not switch to Warm mode until all liquid has evaporated. Follow your recipe carefully and do not leave the rice cooker unattended.

Note:

Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, check that the inner pot is dry and free of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the cooker.
Food should not be left in the cooker on Warm for more than 12 hours.
