POLARIZED PLUG
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 in 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.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
ELECTRIC POWER
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appli-
ance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate
electrical circuit from other appliances.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
TYPES OF RICE (Cont.)
White Rice - Includes several kinds of white rice, most of which can be
prepared in your 5 Cup Cool Touch Rice Cooker.
Long-Grain Rice - Less starchy than short-grain rice, so it separates
into individual grains more than short-grain rice.
Short-Grain Rice - More moist and tender than long-grain rice. It has
a softer texture and starchier flavor.
White rice will take about 20-25 minutes to cook, (brown rice approxi-
mately 50 minutes). When rice is done, the Selector Lever will rise and
the 5 Cup Cool Touch Rice Cooker will automatically go into the
WARM Mode. Allow rice to stand on WARM for 10 to 15 minutes to
ensure fluffy rice. You can keep cooked rice on the WARM setting for
several hours without the taste of the rice being affected. Do not remove
Cover until ready to serve. The Cooking Pot remains very hot
after cooking or keeping warm. Use a pot holder when
handling.
WHY RICE?
Grains (including rice) are finally getting the attention they deserve as
they move into the nutritional spotlight. The new USDA dietary recom-
mendations highlight grains as an essential part of a healthy, whole
foods diet. With their impressive fiber, complex carbohydrates and pro-
tein profiles, they are, without a doubt, some of Mother Nature’s most
perfect foods.
Grains are the edible portion of cereal plants. The grain or kernel is
technically a complete fruit and houses most of its nutritional value. In
addition to their high fiber content, grains are an excellent source of
B vitamins and many minerals, including magnesium, iron, zinc,
potassium and selenium. The germ oils found in the germ layers of
whole grains contain vitamin E, an important antioxidant.
GRAIN GLOSSARY
Rice is a staple food in many countries. Although long-grain rice is
consumed more than any other rice around the world, it is inferior to
brown rice in both taste and nutrition. Brown rice is not only more
complete nutritionally, it has a wonderful nutty aroma and flavor.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
GRAIN GLOSSARY (Cont.)
Polished rice (white) has been bleached, cleaned, pearled (polished with
talc), then often oiled and coated. This refining process causes the loss
of its hull, bran and germ, which are removed from the grain (along
with most of its nutrients) leaving only the starchy endosperm. As white
rice is rather bland when eaten by itself, it is usually served under
steamed or sauteed vegetables and topped with a flavorful sauce, such
as curry or peanut.
Long grain brown rice contains fiber and the nutrient-rich bran and
germ, as well as the starchy endosperm. In addition to being more fla-
vorful, brown rice digests more slowly, which provides energy over a
I T É D E R I Z N O N C U I T
longer period of time. Brown rice is a satisfying meal companion and
n a v a n t d ’ a j o u t e r l ’ e a u .
can even serve as the main focus for a meal. While not as high in pro-

brown rice is easily utilized by the body. Brown rice is also a good

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
USING THE WIRE COOKING RACK TO
STEAM FOODS
1. Using a liquid measuring cup, add 21⁄2 cups (20 ounces) of water
to the Cooking Pot.
2. Place the Wire Cooking Rack on the bottom of the Cooking Pot.
3. Larger vegetables can be placed directly on the Wire Cooking
Rack. A heat-resistant steaming basket may be used to cook small-
er vegetables. Place steaming basket in the bottom of the Cooking
Pot and add smaller vegetables. Replace Glass Lid.
4. Replace Cooking Pot back into the 5 Cup Cool Touch Rice
Cooker’s Main Housing. Rotate it slightly to make sure that it is well
seated on the Heating Plate/Thermostat Assembly.
5. Plug into a 120V AC electrical outlet. Press the Rice Cooking
Selector Lever down to the COOK mode. The COOK Light
will illuminate. The cooking process begins as soon as the Light
illuminates.
6. The times in the cooking chart are approximate. Set a timer and
check for doneness at the suggested cooking time; continue cook-
ing if necessary. The size and shape as well as personal taste may
call for adjustments. If you want softer vegetables, add more water
if necessary, and steam for additional time. Do not allow the water
in the Cooking Pot to boil dry.
7. At the end of the cooking time, raise the Selector Lever to WARM
and unplug the 5 Cup Cool Touch Rice Cooker from the wall.
NOTE: Using the WARM mode for vegetables is not recommended.
8. Use the Rice Paddle provided or any other non-metallic long-
handle utensil to remove the vegetables from the Rice Cooker.
Allow the 5 Cup Cool Touch Rice Cooker to cool completely before
cleaning.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it
yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must
be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.
Always remember to unplug the unit from the wall outlet when not in
use and before cleaning.
1. Be careful not to dent the Cooking Pot, especially the bottom of it.
To work properly and produce the best cooking results, the
Cooking Pot must fit snugly on top of the thermostat.
2. DO NOT let loose grains of rice or other food particles fall into
the bottom of the Main Housing because they might prevent the
Heating Plate/Thermostat Assembly from fitting tightly against the
bottom of the Cooking Pot and cause inadequate cooking.
3. Use the plastic Rice Paddle or a wooden spoon to stir and remove
food from the Cooking Pot. NEVER use any metal utensils.
4. Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads because they can
damage the finish of both the Cooking Pot and Main Housing.
CARE AND CLEANING
1. PLEASE NOTE: It is normal to have a brown ‘rice crust’ coating
the bottom layer of the Cooking Pot when the rice has finished
cooking and steaming.
2. This appliance should be cleaned after every use. Unplug the unit
from the wall outlet. NEVER immerse Main Housing or Power Cord
in water. Allow the unit to cool before cleaning.
3. Let the Rice Cooker cool. Fill Cooking Pot with warm water and
allow to sit for a while. Wash in warm, soapy water with a sponge
and dry thoroughly with a cloth.
4. The Glass Lid, Wire Cooking Rack, Rice Measuring Cup and Rice
Paddle may also be washed in warm, soapy water.
CAUTION: Handle the Glass Lid with extreme care, as it may
become slippery when wet.
5. Never wash any removable parts of the Rice Cooker in the
dishwasher.
6. The Main Housing can be wiped clean with a soft, slightly damp
cloth or sponge.
7. NEVER POUR LIQUID INTO THE MAIN HOUSING OR
IMMERSE IT IN WATER.

2. To avoid damage to the Cooking Pot or Glass Lid, wrap a soft
cloth around the Lid and store it upside down over the Cooking
Pot.

For best results, don’t use the WARM option with
brown rice. The bran in unrefined grains can
“break down” when kept at low heat for extended
periods of time, causing an unpleasant smell and
