IMPORTANT	SAFEGUARDS
SAVE	 THESE	 INSTRUCTIONS.GROUNDED	 PLUG
As a safety feature, this product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only 
fit into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Improper 
connection of the grounding conductor may result in the risk of electric shock. 
Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly 
grounded.
CAUTION:	To	ensure	 continued	 protection	 against	risk	of	electric	 shock,	
connect	 to	properly	 grounded	 outlets	only.		
ELECTRICAL	 CORD
a)  A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be 
provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping 
over a longer cord.
b)  Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available 
 
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c)  If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
  1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord 
 
    or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the 
 
    appliance,
  2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be 
 
    a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
  3) The 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.
Note:	 If	the	 power	 supply	 cord	is	damaged,	 it	should	 be	replaced	 by	qualified	
personnel	 or	in	Latin	 America	 by	an	authorized	 service	center.

This appliance is for commercial and household use only.
GETTING	 STARTED
•    Remove all packing material and stickers from the product.
•    Remove and save literature.
•  Wash and dry all removable parts as instructed in C ARE AnD
 CLEAnIng  section of   
  this manual.
•    Place appliance on a flat, stable surface.
COOKING	 RICE
1. Measure desired amount of rice to be cooked using rice   
  measure provided; do not use standard 1 cup measuring   
  cup 
(A).  (The rice measure provided holds 2/3 cup uncooked        
  rice - about 5.5 oz. or 150 grams.) This rice cooker can   
  cook up to 25 measures of uncooked rice and yield a     
  maximum of about 50, 8 oz. cups of cooked rice.
2.  Place rice in the cooking bowl.
NOTE:		 Use	only	 the	cooking	 bowl	provided	 with	this	appliance	
to	 cook	 rice.
3.  Using the water level markings on the inside of the cooking bowl as a guide, add the   
  amount of water that matches the number of measures of rice to be cooked. For   
  example, if preparing 15 measures of rice, add water to 15 cup water level mark.   
  Adding too much water may make the appliance boil over.
4.  Add butter or oil and desired seasonings.
NOTE:		 The	first	 time	 you	prepare	 rice	use	the	handy	 rice	cooking	 chart	included	 in	the	
Use	 and	Care	 on	pages	 6	and	 7.		For	 softer,	 fluffy	rice	add	a	little	 more	 water;	 for	rice	
that	 is	more	 firm	and	has	a	drier	 texture	 add	a	little	 less	water.
5.  Before placing cooking bowl into rice cooker, be sure the heating plate and outside   
  surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry.  Avoid having rice kernels or other   
  foods fall into the rice cooker.  
6.    Insert cooking bowl into rice cooker.  
7.    Place lid on the cooking bowl. For best results always keep lid on while cooking.
NOTE:		As	rice	 cooks,	 steam	will	escape	 through	 the	vents	 in	the	
lid	 (B).		 Place	 lid	on	rice	 cooker	 so	vents	 are	facing	 away	from	
cabinets	 and	walls.		 Do	not	 place	 hands	 over	steam	 vents	while	
rice	 is	cooking	 or	has	 finished	 cooking;	 the	hot	 steam	 may	burn.
8.  Uncoil cord and plug into standard electrical outlet.  The   
  KEEP WARM indicator light comes on.
9.  Press down the switch.  The COOK indicator light comes   
  on and cooking begins.  As the rice cooks and expands, steam   
  comes out through the steam vents on the lid. 
10.  When rice is cooked, the COOK indicator light turns off and the switch pops up; 
the rice cooker automatically switches to the KEEP WARM function. The KEEP WARM 
indicator light will stay on until the appliance is unplugged. 
NOTE:		 Do	not	 try	to	stop	 the	rice	 cooker	 from	switching	 to	the	 KEEP	 WARM	 mode.		Do	
not	 try	to	press	 the	switch	 once	the	KEEP	 WARM	 cycle	has	begun.
11.  For best results, let the cooked rice rest for 15 minutes, covered, to further steam   
  the rice.  If holding cooked rice longer than 30 minutes, stir rice occasionally to   
  prevent browning of rice on the bottom of the cook bowl.  Just before serving, remove   
  lid and fluff rice.

12.  Unplug appliance when not in use.
STEAMER	 BASKET
Refer	 to	cooking	 chart	on	pages	 7and	8	for	 suggestions	 on	cooking	 times	and	seasonings.
1.  Using a standard liquid measuring cup, pour about 6 cups of cold tap water into   
  cooking bowl.  Add seasoning if desired.
2. Place food to be cooked in the steamer basket leaving some of   
  the holes exposed to allow for steam to penetrate food.
NOTE: When	 steaming	 foods	that	may	 completely	 cover	the	holes	
in	 the	 steamer,	 place	a	cooling	 rack	(not	included)	 on	the	 bottom	
of	 the	 steamer	 basket	before	 adding	 the	food	 to	allow	 the	steam	
to	 cook	 the	food	 evenly	 (C)
.
3.  Place basket on top of cooking bowl  (D).	
NOTE:	 Before	placing	 cooking	 bowl	into	rice	cooker,	 be	sure	 the	
heating	 plate	and	outside	 surface	of	the	 cooking	 bowl	are	clean	
and	 dry.		 Avoid	 having	 any	food	 fall	into	 the	rice	 cooker.
4.  Cover with lid.  Always keep lid on while steaming.
NOTE:		 As	food	 cooks,	 steam	will	escape	 through	 the	vents	 in	the	
lid	 (E).		 Place	 lid	on	steamer	 basket	so	vents	 are	facing	 away	from	
cabinets	 and	walls.	 Do	not	 place	 hand	over	steam	 vents	while	
food	 is	cooking;	 the	hot	 steam	 may	burn.
5.  Plug cord into standard electrical outlet.  The KEEP WARM   
  indicator light comes on.
6.  Press down the switch.  The COOK indicator light comes   
  on and cooking begins. 
NOTE: When	 steaming	 foods,	the	COOK	 indicator	 light	is	not	
intended	 to	be	 an	indication	 of	cooking	 time.		Always	 use	a	
kitchen	 timer	and	do	not	 leave	 these	foods	 unattended.
7.  Steaming time will vary depending upon type and amount of   
  food to be cooked. 
8.  Use a kitchen timer and begin checking vegetables after about 10 minutes.
9.  When cooking is completed remove food and serve. Unplug appliance.
MAKING	 SOUPS	AND	STEWS
1.  Combine foods to be cooked in the cooking bowl provided with this appliance.   Do		
	 not	 use	another	 bowl.  Stir with wooden spoon or rubber spatula to distribute          
  food evenly.
2.  Use only boneless meats cut in cubes no larger than 1½ inches. It is not necessary to   
  brown meats first, but this does add more flavor.
3.  Do not overfill the cooking bowl.
4.  For best results, select dishes that can be prepared in less than 1 hour.
5.  If using frozen vegetables, they only require about 5 to 10 minutes to cook.  Add them   
  near the end of the cooking time.
6.  Always use a kitchen timer when preparing foods with a sauce.
NOTE:		 The	COOK	 indicator	 light	is	not	 intended	 to	be	 an	indication	 of	cooking	 time	for	
soups	 and	stews.	
7.  Do not hold soups and stews in the KEEP WARM cycle.  Unplug the unit once the food   
  is finished cooking. 
C
If	desired,	 add	butter	 or	oil	 and	 seasonings	 after	water	 has	been	 added	 and	before

HELPFUL	HINTS
•  Although the rice measure holds about 5.5 ounces of uncooked rice, the cooked rice is   
  given in 8-ounce cup measures.
•  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. Use about ¾ tsp.   
  Kosher salt to each cup of uncooked rice.
•  White rice should be kept in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
•  Brown rice has a limited shelf life; store it for no more than 1 month before using.
•  If allowing rice to stand on KEEP WARM in the rice cooker for prolonged periods of   
  time, stir occasionally to prevent rice from browning on the bottom.

• Wash the cooking bowl, lid, serving scoop and rice measure in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads - they may scratch the nonstick surface or could result in poor contact with the heating plate.
Helpful	 Tip:
 Since	 the	rice	 cooking	 bowl	has	a	nonstick	 coating,	try	this	 method:	 add	
hot,	 soapy	 water	and	allow	 the	bowl	 to	stand	 for	several	 minutes.	 This	releases	 any	food	
particles	 and	with	 just	a	wipe	 of	a	sponge	 or	plastic	 scrubber	 the	bowl	 is	perfectly	 clean.
• Wipe the interior of the unit with a dry cloth. Clean the outside surface with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• If water accidentally gets into the switch area or onto the heating plate, allow to dry thoroughly before using the rice cooker.

COCCIÓN	 DEL	ARROZ
1. Mida la cantidad de arroz que desee preparar utilizando el   
  medidor de arroz incluido; no utilice 1 taza de medir estándar   
 (A). El medidor de arroz tiene una capacidad de     
  aproximadamente 150 gramos de arroz en crudo (2⁄3 de taza).   
  Este hervidor de arroz puede preparar hasta 25 medidas de   
  arroz en crudo y hasta 11,8 l (50 tazas) de arroz cocinado.
2.  Coloque el arroz en el recipiente de cocción.
NOTA:	 Utilice	únicamente	 el	recipiente	 de	cocción	 que	se		
	incluye	 para	cocinar	 el	arroz.
3.  Tomando como referencia las marcas de nivel de agua en el interior del recipiente   
  de cocción, incorpore la cantidad de agua que le corresponde a la cantidad de   
  arroz que desea preparar. Por ejemplo, si va a preparar 15 medidas de arroz, añada   
  agua hasta llegar a la marca de nivel de agua para 3,6 l (15 tazas). Si añade una   
  cantidad excesiva de agua, hará que el recipiente rebose.
4.  Añada mantequilla o aceite y condimentos al gusto.
NOTA: La	 primera	 vez	que	 vaya	 a	preparar	 arroz,	utilice	 la	tabla	 de	cocción	 incluida	 en	
las	 páginas	 19	y	20	 del	 manual	 de	Uso	 y	Mantenimiento.	 Para	conseguir	 un	arroz	 más	
suave	 y	jugoso,	 añada	un	poco	 más	de	agua;	 si	desea	 un	arroz	 con	una	textura	 más	firme	
y	 seca,	 añada	 menos	 cantidad	 de	agua.
5.  Antes de introducir el recipiente de cocción en la olla arrocera, asegúrese de que   
  la resistencia y la superficie exterior del recipiente de cocción estén limpias y secas.   
  Evite que granos de arroz u otros alimentos penetren en el interior de la arrocera.
6.  Introduzca el recipiente de cocción en la arrocera.
7.  Coloque la tapa sobre el recipiente de cocción. Para obtener resultados óptimos,   
  mantenga la tapa sobre el recipiente durante la cocción.
NOTA:	Durante	 la	cocción	 del	arroz,	 el	vapor	 se	liberará	 a	través	
de	 la	salida	 de	vapor	 de	la	tapa	 (B).	Coloque	 la	tapa	 sobre	 la	
arrocera	 de	arroz	 de	tal	 forma	 que	la	salida	 de	vapor	 esté	alejada	
de	 armarios	 y	paredes.	 No	coloque	 las	manos	 sobre	la	salida	 de	
vapor	 durante	 la	cocción	 o	al	 final	 de	la	misma;	 el	vapor	 caliente	
puede	 quemarle	 las	manos.
8.  Desenrede el cable y enchufe la arrocera en una toma    
  eléctrica estándar.  La luz indicadora de calentamiento   
  (KEEP WARM) se encenderá.
9.   Presione el interruptor de encendido. La luz indicadora de cocción (COOK)       
    se encenderá y la cocción se iniciará. A medida que los granos de arroz se vayan   
    cociendo y aumentando de tamaño, el vapor saldrá a través de la tapa.

No	 intente	 mantener	 el	interruptor	 en	la	posición	 de	encendido	 una	vez	iniciado	 el	ciclo	
de	 calentamiento.
11.  Para obtener resultados óptimos, deje reposar el arroz ya preparado durante     
    15 minutos con la tapa en posición para terminar la cocción al vapor. Si desea   
    mantener caliente el arroz durante más de 30 minutos, remueva el arroz de vez en   
    cuando para evitar que se queme en el fondo del recipiente.  Justo antes de servir,   
    retire la tapa y remueva el arroz.
PRECAUCIÓN:	 Al	retirar	 la	tapa,	 aléjela	 del	cuerpo	 para	evitar	 quemarse	 con	el	vapor	
caliente.
