BEFORE USING YOUR RICE COOKER
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Remove all packaging from the Rice Cooker. Remove any labels from
the outer stainless steel surfaces.
Wash Inner Pot, Stainless Steel Steamer Insert, Stainless Steel Lid,
Rice Measuring Cup and Rice Paddle in warm, soapy water. Rinse
and dry well.
If the outside of the Inner Pot is wet when placed into the Rice Cooker,
this may cause a cracking noise while the unit heats up. Also, this may
cause damage to the inner working of the appliance, so always wipe
the outside of the Inner Pot completely dry before use.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE HEATING BODY OF THE RICE COOKER IN WATER
OR ANY OTHER LIQUID!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
READ BEFORE USING YOUR RUSSELL HOBBS® AUTOMATIC RICE COOKER
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
• Read all instructions.
• Never immerse Heating Body in water.
• Never place liquid in the Heating Body. Place it only in the
Inner Pot.
• Never try to force the Rice Cooking Selector Lever to stay in the
COOK Mode after it has moved up to the ON/WARM position.
• Never plug in the Rice Cooker without first placing the Inner Pot
inside the Heating Body.
• Always be sure the Inner Pot contains liquid, or be ready to add oil,
butter or margarine immediately to the Inner Pot when you plug in
the Rice Cooker.
• Remember that the Rice Measuring Cup is not a standard measuring
cup. When filled, it measures approximately 3/4 cup.
• Never wash any removable parts of the Cooker in the dishwasher.
• Save these instructions and refer to them often.
• Be careful not to dent the Inner Pot, especially the bottom of it. To
work properly and produce the best cooking results, the Inner Pot
must fit snugly on top of the Thermostat.
• DO NOT let loose grains of rice or other food particles fall into the
bottom of the Heating Body because they might prevent the
Thermostat from fitting tightly against the bottom of the Inner Pot
and cause inadequate cooking.
• Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads because they can
damage the finish of both the Inner Pot and Heating Body.
• Save these instructions and refer to them often.
