IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knob
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or body
in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when the 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 the appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner.
Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for exami-
nation, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by ZOJIRUSHI
may cause injures.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of tables or counters, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place the appliance on or near heat sources such as a gas
or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing
hot food, water, or other hot liquids.
12. Always connect the plug to the appliance first, then plug cord into the
wall outlet (for detachable power cord). To disconnect, move the
WARM/COOK lever to the WARM position, then unplug unit from wall
outlet. To disconnect, turn unit "OFF", then remove plug from wall
outlet (for non-detachable power cord).
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
14. Do not use metallic scrubbing brushes or pads to clean the electrical
terminal pins on either the appliance or cord set. Metal residual
resulting from scrubbing the terminal pins can reduce the electrical
insulation and cause electrical shock hazards.
15. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in removable inner pan.
Do not pour liquid into outer pan .
-1-
C. If a long detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked
electrical rating of the cord set 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 grounded type three-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 unintentionally.
Following applies to Model No. NHS-06.
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.
WARNINGS
■ Do not allow liquid to come in contact with the Plug receptacle or Cord set.
Doing so may cause short circuit or electric shock.

HOW TO COOK BROWN RICE
Brown rice is the entire grain of rice with only the inedible outer husk removed. The nutritious, high-
fiber bran coating gives the rice a light brown color. Brown rice has a nutlike flavor and chewy texture
and retains all its natural vitamins and minerals. It takes longer to cook than white rice. One cup
of uncooked brown rice makes about 3 cups cooked rice.
The maximum amount of cooked brown rice is less than the maximum amount of cooked white
rice. Use the chart below to determine the brown rice cooking capacity of each model.
Model No. Cooking Capacity
NHS-06 1-2 CUPS
NHS-10 1-3 CUPS
NHS-18 2-6 CUPS
For dry and fluffy rice, rinse rice before cooking, for stickier rice, do not rinse before cooking.
2. Water Amount
