The Aroma ARC-703G is a 3-cup rice cooker and food steamer. It is a versatile and useful appliance for your modern kitchen. Before using the rice cooker, it is important to read all the instructions carefully and follow basic safety precautions. Make sure to unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning or adding/removing parts. Always use handles or knobs instead of touching hot surfaces. To avoid electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquids. This appliance should not be used outdoors or operated by children without close supervision.

Short cord instructions

The Aroma ARC-703G rice cooker comes with a short power supply cord to reduce the risk of entanglement or tripping. If you require a longer cord, you may use an extension cord, but this must be done with care. The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop, where it could be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.

The Aroma ARC-703G also has a polarized plug, which is intended to fit into a polarized outlet in only one way. If the plug does not fit fully, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. This appliance is for household use only.
