IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY 1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles or knobs. 3. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the Rice Cooker housing in water or any other liquid. If housing falls into liquid, unplug the cord from outlet immediately. DO NOT reach into the liquid. 4. To avoid possible accidental injury, close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. 5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts. 6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped or damaged in any way or is not operating properly. Return the appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examination, repair or mechanical or electrical adjustment. 7. The use of attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury. 8. Do not use outdoors or anywhere the cord or motor housing might come into contact with water while in use. 9. Do not use the Rice Cooker for anything other than its intended use. 10. To avoid the possibility of the Rice Cooker being accidentally pulled off work area, which could result in damage to the Rice Cooker or in personal injury, do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. 11. To avoid damage to cord and possible fire or electrocution hazard, do not let cord contact hot surfaces, including a stove. 12. Extreme caution must be used when moving a Rice Cooker containing hot oil or other hot liquids. 13. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven. 14. Do not operate Rice Cooker in water or under running water. 15. To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable container. Do not immerse in water. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS: A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks of becoming entangled in or tipping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised. If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. 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 tipped over. NOTICE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will 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 defeat this safety feature.

Now all you have to do is add liquid and rice, stir, cover, and press a switch. When rice is perfectly cooked, your Cuisinart™ Rice Cooker automatically reduces the temperature to keep rice warm until you're ready to eat. A stainless steel steaming tray is included to let you steam your cooked vegetables, fish, poultry, and specialties like dim sum! As always, cleanup is quick, because all removable parts are dishwasher safe. 1
