HOW TO USE
Before First Use:
1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials and make sure items are received in good condition.
3. Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.
4. Wash accessories in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
5. Remove inner pot from rice cooker and clean with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly before returning to cooker.
6. Wipe body clean with a damp cloth.
¾ Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
¾ Do not immerse the rice cooker base, cord or plug in water at any time.
To Cook Rice:
1. Using the measuring cup provided, measure desired amount of rice. One level of the
Aroma measuring cup equals one cup on the rice/water measurement chart (included
on page 6)
.
2. Rinse rice in the inner pot until the water becomes relatively clear.
3. Using the water measurement lines inside the inner pot, add the appropriate amount of
water.
4. For softer rice, allow rice to soak for 10-20 minutes prior to cooking.
5. Close lid and plug power cord into outlet.
6. Press switch down to “cook mode”. The cook light will illuminate. When rice is
complete, it will automatically switch to warm mode and the warm light will illuminate.
7. After cooking, allow rice to stand for 5-10 minutes without removing lid (this will ensure
that rice is cooked thoroughly).
To Steam Food:
1. Add the desired amount of water into the inner pot. (A convenient steaming guide has
been included on page 7)
.
2. Place steam tray in rice cooker.
3. Place food in steam tray and press switch to “cook mode”. When steaming is
complete it will automatically switch to “warm mode”. We recommend keeping food on
warm no longer than 5-10 minutes to avoid over cooking.
CAUTION:
Do not open lid when in use.
If cooking pot is returned to cooker when wet, it will damage this product
causing it to malfunction.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their
use.
3. If a longer extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance.
b. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top
or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.
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.
This appliance is for household use only.
