IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions carefully.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles or knobs. The lid handle may get hot while cooking; the use of an oven mitt while handling is advised.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plugs, or main body in water or other liquids. CAUTION: Never submerge the heating unit in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from the 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 malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other liquids. Always use the handles when moving your heated rice cooker.
12. Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
13. To disconnect, press the OFF button, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
14. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or a lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm, do not use that outlet.

ELECTRICAL CORD

• a) A short 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses. This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

CAUTIONS BEFORE USING:

1. Only use this product with the correct AC voltage outlet. (Correct rated voltage, see box and label at the bottom of the rice cooker.)
2. Be sure to unplug the AC cord when the pan is not in the cooker, or when the cooker is not being used. Remember, the “KEEP WARM” feature operates whenever the cord is plugged in.
3. Place the inner pot inside the cooker before operating. Turn the pot gently to the right and left to ensure a proper fit.
4. If the switch button is difficult to press to the “cook” position, do not try to force it down. This difficulty might occur when the inner pot is not fully inserted in the cooker or when cooking has just finished.
5. Place the lid on your inner pot while cooking. Keep the lid in place after serving to prevent your rice from drying out or discoloring.
6. Keep the bottom of the inner pot and the surface of the heater plate free of foreign matter to prevent operating malfunctions.

Using a measuring cup, drain the black beans can and add enough water to make five cups of liquid. Add all the ingredients to the rice cooker except the bacon and the olive oil. Stir well, cover, and turn the rice cooker on. Using a small frying pan, cook the bacon with the olive oil until crisp and set aside. Once the rice cooker switch pops up, stir the rice with a fork and pour the olive oil and bacon on top of the rice, and serve.

Cut the sausages into thin slices. Using a large skillet over high heat, cook the sausage very lightly to remove the excess grease. Remove the sausage from the skillet and save it till later. Using that same oil, sauté the garlic, then the onions and the peppers until the onions become clear. Add the rice to the rice cooker and stir, then the tomato sauce and the water with the bouillon dissolved in it, and the sautéed ingredients. Stir and let boil.
