Caution
When measuring the rice, use the measuring cup. (The amount
of the rice may vary depending on the quality of the rice.) Place
the inner pot on a flat surface and adjust the water to the water
level in the inner pot.
If amount of water and amount of rice is different, the rice can
be crisp or hard.
If possible, buy a small amount of rice and keep the rice some
place where it can ventilate well and avoids a direct ray of light.
It can help prevent evaporation of rice moisture. If the rice has
been unsealed for long, rice can be dry and stale. In this case,
you should pour half of water more. It’s tastier.
If the rice is too dry, rice can be crisp even though it is
measured properly.
If possible, do not use the preset time function when rice is too
dry and pour half of water more. If you set “Preset” over the 10
hours or “Preset” dried rice, rice can be crisp or half cooked.
Even in worse condition, rice can be cooked with different taste
on each level.
If the preset time is longer, the melanoizing effect could be
increased.
Wipe the top cover heating part well for any rice or external
substance.
Especially clean the top of the cover for external substance.
