Troubleshooting
Cooking Rice
& Grain
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. Close the lid and press the cook
switch down. When the cooker switches to
Warm
mode, open 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. Close the lid and allow the cooker to
remain on
Warm
mode for 10-30 minutes as
needed, removing the lid and stirring
periodically to release excess moisture.
1. Using the provided measuring cup, add rice or
grain to the inner pot.
2. Rinse to remove excess starch. Drain.
3. For white rice, fill the inner pot with water to
the line that matches the number of cups of
uncooked rice added. For brown rice or grain,
see the "Rice/Grain & Water Measurement
Tables" on page
10
.
4. Place the inner pot into the cooker then close the
lid securely.
5. Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC
wall outlet.
6. Press the cook switch down. The cook indicator
light will illuminate as the cooker begins heating.
7. When rice or grain is ready, the cook switch will
automatically flip up and switch to
Warm
mode.
8. For best results, stir the rice or grain with the
included serving spatula to distribute any
remaining moisture.
9. When finished serving, unplug the power cord to
turn the rice cooker off.
Note:
· Do not use harsh
abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads or
products that are not
considered safe to use
on nonstick coatings.
· We recommend hand
washing the inner pot
with warm, soapy water
to lengthen its lifespan
and avoid damage
over time. If washing in
a dishwasher, a slight
discoloration to the
inner pot may occur.
This is cosmetic and will
not negatively affect
performance.
· Any other servicing
should be performed by
Aroma
®
Housewares.
Note:
Note:
· Because rice varieties
may vary in their make-
up, results may differ.
· Before placing the inner
pot into the cooker,
check that the inner pot
is dry and free of debris.
Adding the inner pot
when wet may damage
the cooker.
· Food should not be left
in the cooker on
Warm
mode for more than 12
hours.
The provided rice
measuring cup is the
equivalent to a ¾
standard U.S. cup.
