circumstances. The handles and knobs are provided for your safety and protection.
3 To prevent hazardous operation or electric shock, do not immerse power cord, power plug, or
rice cooker (except inner cooking pan) in water or other liquids.
4 Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
5 Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool before
adding or removing parts, and before cleaning the appliance. Make sure appliance is OFF when
not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
0 Do not use or operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance malfunctions
or has been damaged in any manner, unplug the appliance and return it to the nearest authorized
service facility or dealer for examination, repair or adjustment.
7 The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may be
hazardous or may cause malfunction.
8 Do not use outdoors.
9 Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces and do not let the cord hang over the edge of
tables or counters.
10 Do not place the appliance on or near a heated surface such as a gas or electric stove, or in a
heated oven.
11 Always use extreme caution when moving appliances containing hot contents or liquids.
12 Plug the cord into a household electrical outlet. To disconnect, turn the power control to OFF,

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
This appliance is supplied with a short power cord to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or
tripping over. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is
used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and a longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug was designed to fit into a polarized outlet in only one direction. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, do not attempt to force it or modify it in any way. Simply reverse the plug and
insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

TIPS FOR USING THE KEEP WARM MODE
•
When
keeping
rice
in
the
Inner
Cooking
Pan
for
later
consumption,
use
the
Keep
Warm
mode.
• The rice may develop a foul odor or condensed moisture may fall on the rice, making it sticky, if the Keep Warm mode
is cancelled or if left
in
an
unplugged Rice Cooker.
•
To
prevent the rice from becoming dry or wet,
developing an odor or turning yellow, do not
use the Keep Warm mode for the following:
• Keeping a small amount of
rice warm for long hours.
• Keeping rice warm for more
than 12 hours.
• Adding additional rice while
keeping rice warm.
• Reheating cold rice.
• Keeping steel cut oatmeal
warm.
• Keeping rice warm when it
contains additional ingredients
and seasonings (mixed rice, etc.).
• Keeping foods other than rice
warm such as croquettes or
misc soup.
•
Keeping
rice
warm
with
the
Spatula left inside the
Rice
Cooker.
• When keeping a small amount
of rice warm, gather the rice
toward the center of the Inner
Cooking Pan.
• As the amount of rice kept
warm decreases, the rice
may dry or become wet.
To
minimize this, gather
the rice toward the center
of the Inner Cooking
Pan
while keeping warm.
Do not clean the rice or adjust the amount of water using hot water (95° F/ 35°C or above).
Doing so will cause the rice to be cooked improperly.

ACTIVATED BROWN RICE (GABA BROWN)
• This Rice Cooker has two settings for cooking brown rice. The GABA BROWN setting on the menu activates brown
rice for increased nutritional value.
GABA BROWN SETTING
When GABA BROWN is selected on the menu, the Rice Cooker will begin activating the brown rice, after which it
will start cooking automatically. During the brown rice activation process, the temperature in the Inner Cooking Pan
is kept at approx. 104°F (approx. 40°C) for approx. 2 hours. Cooking will take longer to complete.
— See "ESTIMATED COOKING TIME" on pg.11.
By activating brown rice, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) , a naturally occurring nutrient in brown rice, increases
to 150% of the amount contained in non-activated brown rice. This process also makes brown rice softer, thus
making it readily edible.
* What is GABA? ••• GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a type of amino acid said to lower blood pressure and
relieve stress.

you cook rice, the Keep Warm time elapsed will not be displayed. If the Keep Warm time elapsed display is blinking, you cannot switch.
When you are concerned about foul odors, color changes or dryness in the rice... fCHANGE THE KEEP WARM TEMPERATURE
How well the unit is cleaned, the room temperature influenced by season or usage environment, frequent opening and
closing of the Outer Lid, the type of rice used, or the way the rice was cleaned may cause foul odors or the growth of
bacteria. If you are concerned about odors, see "THE INTERIOR" on pg.20 and clean the Rice Cooker. Depending on
the region or environment, if the Keep Warm temperature lowers, it can cause foul odors in the rice, or if the Keep Warm
temperature rises, it can cause the rice to change color or become dry. If the rice smells, changes color or becomes dry,
try changing the Keep Warm temperature settings as follows.
Insert the Inner Cooking Pan and

rice has an odor, or
rice becomes
watery:
• Was the rice kept warm with the spatula left in the Inner Cooking Pan?
• Was cold rice reheated?
• Did you loosen the rice after cooking was completed?
-*• Loosen the rice immediately after cooking is completed.
• Rice may not have been cleaned sufficiently and too much bran may be left.
• Some odor may remain after cooking Mixed Rice.
-►Clean the Inner Cooking Pan thoroughly. -*■ pg.19

-► Leaving rice in the Inner Cooking Pan without using the Keep Warm mode
may cause unwanted odor. -*■ pg.8
• Did you clean the Rice Cooker thoroughly after every use?
-►How well the unit is cleaned, the room temperature influenced by season
or usage environment, frequent opening and closing of the Outer Lid, the
type of rice used, or the way the rice was cleaned may cause foul odors or
the growth of bacteria. If you are concerned about odors, see "THE
INTERIOR" on pg.20 and clean the Rice Cooker. It can be even more
effective to increase the warming temperature, as described on pg.14,
"CHANGE THE KEEP WARM TEMPERATURE".
