Before First Use; Positioning - Breville ITP181 Instruction Booklet

before first use

Make sure your rice cooker is switched off and unplugged from the mains
supply socket before cleaning. Never immerse the base of the cooker body, cord or
plug in water or any other liquid.
Before using your rice cooker for the first time, wash the steaming tray, removable
bowl and glass lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh
abrasives, chemicals or oven cleaners.
Using a damp cloth or sponge, wipe the exterior and interior of the base unit. Use a mild
detergent solution. Dry thoroughly.

Positioning

Position your rice cooker on a dry, flat, secure, heat resistant surface close to a mains
supply socket.
Leave a clear space of at least 100mm (4") all around your rice cooker and keep it as far
back from the edge of the work surface as possible.
Do not position your rice cooker underneath anything such as a shelf or cupboard, and
place it away from curtains, wall coverings, or other flammable materials. Never cover
your rice cooker. Apart from the possible risk of fire, the steam given off by the cooking
process may mark or damage anything above the cooker.
Place your rice cooker close to a wall socket. When connected, ensure that the power
cord does not overhang the work surface or is positioned where it might be caught
accidentally.
Provide adequate ventilation when using your rice cooker.
