IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances, including the following:  
1. Important: Read all instructions carefully before first use.  
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or knobs.  
3. Use only on a level, dry and heat-resistant surface.  
13. Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing rice, hot oil  
or other liquids.  
14. Do not touch, cover or obstruct the steam vent on the top of the rice cooker as it  
is extremely hot and may cause scalding.  
4. To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse  
cord, plug or the appliance in water or any other liquid. See instructions for  
cleaning.  
15. Use only with a 120V AC power outlet.  
16. Always unplug from the base of the wall outlet. Never pull on the cord.  
5. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near  
children.  
17. The rice cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other  
operating appliances. If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances,  
the appliance may not operate properly.  
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow unit to cool  
before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.  
18. Always make sure the outside of the inner cooking pot is dry prior to use. If  
the inner pot is returned to the cooker when wet, it may damage or cause the  
product to malfunction.  
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the  
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Aroma®  
customer service for examination, repair or adjustment.  
19. Use extreme caution when opening the lid during or after cooking. Hot steam will  
escape and may cause burns.  
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Aroma®  
Housewares may result in fire, electrical shock or injury.  
20. Rice should not be left in the inner pot with the “Keep-Warm” function on for  
more than 12 hours.  
9. Do not use outdoors.  
21. To prevent damage or deformation, do not use the inner pot on a stovetop or  
burner.  
10. Do not let cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter or  
table.  
22. To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF,” then remove the plug from the wall  
outlet.  
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.  
12. Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.  
23. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the removable inner cooking  
pot provided.

Grounding Instructions  
DO NOT DRAPE CORD!  
Instructions  
1. A short power-supply cord is  
provided to reduce the risks  
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:  
KEEP AWAY  
FROm ChilDREN!  
a.  
The marked electrical  
rating of the extension  
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the  
appliance.  
b.  
c.  
The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the  
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped  
over unintentionally.  
This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from  
electrical shock. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a  
3-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. The  
appliance has a plug that looks like sketch A. An adapter, sketch B, should be  
used for connecting sketch-A plugs to two-prong receptacles. The grounding  
tab, which extends from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent  
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box as shown in sketch C using a  
metal screw.  
The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.  
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Because rice varieties may vary in their make-up, results may differ. Below are some troubleshooting tips to help you achieve the  
desired consistency.  
If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the rice cooker switches to “Keep-Warm” mode, additional water and cooking  
time will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is, add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir through. Close the lid  
and select the “White” function. When rice cooker switches to “Keep-Warm” mode, open the lid and stir the rice to  
Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.  
check the consistency. Repeat as necessary until rice is soft and moist.  
If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the rice cooker switches to “Keep-Warm” mode, use the serving spatula  
to stir the rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moistest) part of the rice as well as release excess moisture. Close  
the lid and allow to remain on “Keep-Warm” mode for 10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid and stirring

periodically to release excess moisture.  
The bottom layer of cooked rice may become slightly browned and/or caramelized during cooking. To reduce  
browning, rice should be rinsed before cooking to remove any excess starch. Stirring rice once it switches to  
“Keep-Warm” will also help to reduce browning/caramelizing.

ABOUT RICE  
Courtesy of the USA Rice Federation  
Rice is the perfect foundation for todays healthier eating. It is a nutrient-dense complex carbohydrate that supplies energy, ber, essential vitamins and minerals  
and beneficial antioxidants. Rice combines well with other healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits, meat, seafood, poultry, beans and soy foods.  
Nearly 88% of rice consumed in the U.S. is grown in the U.S. Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Missouri produce high-quality varieties of  
short, medium and long grain rice as well as specialty rices including jasmine, basmati, arborio, red aromatic and black japonica, among others.  
There are many different varieties of rice available in the market. Your Aroma® Rice Cooker can cook any type perfectly every time. The following are the commonly  
available varieties of rice and their characteristics:  
Long Grain Rice  
Brown Rice  
This rice has a long, slender kernel three to four times longer than its width.  
Due to its starch composition, cooked grains are more separate, light and  
fluffy compared to medium or short grain rice. The majority of white rice is  
enriched to restore nutrients lost during processing. Great for entrees and  
side dishes— rice bowls, stir-fries, salads and pilafs.  
Brown rice is a 100% whole grain food that fits the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for  
Americans recommendation to increase daily intake of whole grains. Brown rice  
contains the nutrient-dense bran and inner germ layer where many beneficial  
compounds are found. Brown rice is available in short, medium and long grain  
varieties and can be used interchangeably with enriched white rice.  
Medium Grain Rice  
Wild Rice  
When compared to long grain rice, medium grain rice has a shorter, wider  
kernel that is two to three times longer than its width. Cooked grains are  
more moist and tender than long grain, and have a greater tendency to  
cling together. Great for entrees, sushi, risotto and rice puddings.  
Wild rice is an aquatic grass grown in Minnesota and California and is a frequent  
addition to long grain rice pilafs and rice mixes. Its unique flavor, texture and  
rich dark color provide a delicious accent to rice dishes. Wild rice also makes  
a wonderful stuffing for poultry when cooked with broth and mixed with your  
favorite dried fruits.  
Short Grain Rice  
Short grain rice has a short, plump, almost round kernel. Cooked grains are  
soft and cling together, yet remain separate and are somewhat chewy, with  
a slight springiness to the bite. Great for sushi, Asian dishes and desserts.

ABOUT RICE  
Courtesy of the USA Rice Federation  
Did You Know?  
Rice is the primary dietary staple for more than half of the worlds population.  
U.S. grown rice is the standard for excellence and accounts for nearly 88% of the rice consumed in America. It is grown and harvested by local farmers in  
five south-central states and California.  
Rice contains no sodium, cholesterol, trans fats or gluten, and has only a trace of fat. One half-cup of rice contains about 100 calories.  
Research shows that people who eat rice have healthier diets than non-rice eaters and eat more like the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans  
recommendations.  
Whole grains like brown rice help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers, and aid in weight management.  
Brown rice is a 100% whole grain. One cup of whole grain brown rice provides two of the three recommended daily servings of whole grains.  
Eating rice triggers the production of serotonin in the brain, a chemical that helps regulate and improve mood.  
September is National Rice Month - promoting awareness of the versatility and the value of U.S. grown rice.
