The Kyowa Gas Rice Cooker, model KW-2080, is a kitchen appliance designed for efficient and convenient rice cooking using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). This device is intended for household use and offers a straightforward approach to preparing rice, with a focus on safety and ease of operation.

Function Description:

The primary function of the KW-2080 is to cook rice. It operates by burning LPG to heat an inner pot containing rice and water. The cooker features a main burner for cooking and a low flame setting that remains on after the main cooking cycle is complete, ensuring the rice stays warm. An automatic shut-off mechanism for the main burner activates once the rice is cooked, indicating the completion of the primary cooking process. The device is designed to be user-friendly, with clear controls for ignition, gas supply, and cooking.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific power ratings or capacity in liters are not explicitly stated in the provided manual, the device is designed to use Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). It requires a standard size gas hose and a regulator with an auto safety feature and pressure gauge for safe operation. The cooker's design includes an inner pot, an outer frame, a top cover, and a drip pan. Key control components are the gas control knob, ignition button, and cook button. The flame monitoring hole allows users to visually check the flame quality, which is crucial for efficient combustion. The manual emphasizes the importance of proper ventilation, recommending at least 15 cm of space from walls and 50 cm from the ceiling.

Usage Features:

The KW-2080 is designed for simple and safe operation.

• Setup: Before first use, all packaging materials must be removed. The gas hose is pushed up to the red marking on the inlet pipe and secured with a hose clamp. The main gas valve is then opened.
• Gas Control: The gas control knob is rotated counter-clockwise to the 3 o'clock position (OPEN) to allow gas flow.
• Ignition: The ignition button is pressed until it clicks, and a low flame in the burner is confirmed through the flame monitoring hole. If the pilot fails to ignite, the ignition button supply is pulled up, and the ignition button is pressed again.
• Flame Adjustment: After the burner is lit, the damper can be adjusted clockwise or counter-clockwise to achieve slightly rounded blue flames, indicating good combustion. The manual provides visual guides for "GOOD (Perfect combustion)" with a pale blue flame, "BAD (Insufficient Air Supply)" with a long and reddish flame, and "BAD (Excessive Air Supply)" where the flame is cut.
• Rice Preparation: Rice grains should be washed in a separate container before being transferred to the inner pot. Water is added, ensuring it reaches the MIN mark but does not exceed the MAX marking. A general guideline of one cup of water per cup of rice is provided, though this can vary based on rice type and personal preference.
• Cooking Process: The inner pot, with its base dry and clean, is placed inside the outer frame, ensuring the flame monitoring hole aligns with the main control panel. The top cover is then placed on the inner pot. The cook button is pressed down to light the main burner.
• Automatic Shut-off: The cook button automatically returns to the OFF position once the rice is cooked, extinguishing the main burner while a low flame remains on.
• Completion: After cooking, the gas control knob is rotated clockwise to the 6 o'clock position (OFF) to completely turn off the Gas Rice Cooker, and the ignition gas supply is pulled up to the OFF position.
• Serving: It is recommended to allow the rice to sit for about 15 minutes before serving for optimal results.

Maintenance Features:

Proper cleaning and care are essential for the longevity and safe operation of the KW-2080.

• Cooling Down: Always allow the Gas Rice Cooker to cool down completely before cleaning.
• Washing Components: The inner pot, cover, and drip tray should be washed with warm water and a mild dishwashing soap.
• Rice Residue Removal: For stubborn rice residue, soaking the pot in warm soapy water overnight is recommended before rinsing.
• Cleaning Agents: Harsh cleaning agents or abrasive objects like scrubbing pads or metal brushes should not be used, as they can damage the surfaces.
• Outer Surface Cleaning: The outer surfaces of the Gas Rice Cooker should be cleaned with a soft and damp cloth.
• Drying and Storage: After cleaning, the cooker should be wiped dry with a soft and dry cloth and stored in a clean and dry place.
• Reassembly: All parts and accessories must be put back in their proper places before operating the device again.
• Burner Maintenance: It is crucial to ensure that the burners are free from any blockage. Steel wire can be used to clean out clogged holes of the burner.

Safety Precautions:

The manual highlights several critical safety precautions:

• Placement: The cooker must be placed on a flat surface, away from the edge of the counter, with adequate ventilation (15 cm from walls, 50 cm from ceiling).
• Damage: Do not operate if any part is damaged; return to an authorized dealer for repair.
• Heat Sources: Do not operate or place near hot surfaces like electric burners, hotplates, or ovens.
• Accessories: Use only originally provided accessories.
• Gas Type: Use only LPG from reputable and authorized dealers.
• Gas Hose and Regulator: Always use a good quality standard size gas hose and a regulator with an auto safety feature and pressure gauge. Do not place the gas hose at the bottom of the cooker.
• Ignition Safety: Avoid placing your face near the flame monitoring hole when pressing ignition or cook buttons.
• Empty Pot: Do not operate the cooker if the inner pot is empty.
• Hot Surfaces: Avoid touching hot surfaces during use; use the handle only.
• Unattended Operation: Never leave the cooker unattended when turned ON. Switch to OFF when not in use or before cleaning.
• Pot Removal: Use caution when removing the pot after operation.
• Water/Moisture: Do not immerse the control panel in water or expose it to rain, moisture, or any liquid.
• Children and Persons with Disabilities: Keep out of reach of children and persons with mental or physical disabilities. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance. The appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless supervised or instructed by a responsible person.
• Self-Repair: Do not disassemble the cooker yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. All repairs must be referred to an authorized KYOWA service facility.

The Kyowa Gas Rice Cooker KW-2080 is presented as a reliable and safe appliance for cooking rice, provided that all instructions and safety guidelines are strictly followed.
