Troubleshooting

clean with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly before returning to the cooker.

soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
6. Wipe the cooker's body clean with a damp cloth.
1. Remove the inner pot when the cooker has
completely cooled.
2. Hand wash the lid and all accessories or place on
the top rack of the dishwasher.
3. For difficult-to-remove food stains, soak the
steam tray and inner pot in hot, soapy water for
20 minutes then wipe clean with a soft sponge.

· Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.
If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker
switches to
Warm
, 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 thoroughly. Place
the lid on and press the cook switch down. When
the cooker switches to
Warm
mode, remove the lid
and stir the rice to check the consistency. Repeat as
necessary until rice is soft and moist.
· Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.
If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the cooker
switches to
Warm
, use the serving spatula to stir the
rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moist) part of
the rice as well as release excess moisture. Place the
lid on top and allow to remain on
Warm
mode for 10-
30 minutes as needed, removing the lid and stirring
periodically to release excess moisture.

up to switch the rice cooker to
Warm
