Troubleshooting
Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.
·
Depending on how dry your rice is, add 1/2 to 1
cup of water and stir thoroughly. Close the lid
and select the
White Rice
function once more.
When the cooker switches to
Keep Warm
, 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.
·
Use the serving spatula to stir the rice to
redistribute the bottom (moist) part of the rice
and to release excess moisture. Close the lid and
allow the cooker to remain on
Keep Warm
for
10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid and
stirring periodically to release excess moisture.
Caution:
Before placing the inner
pot into the cooker,
check that it is dry and
free of debris. Adding
the inner pot when
wet may damage the
cooker.
Caution:
The cooker will not
switch to
Keep Warm
mode until all liquid has
evaporated. Follow your
recipe carefully and do
not leave the rice cooker
unattended.
Note:
· The provided rice
measuring cup is
equivalent to a ¾
standard U.S. cup.
Helpful
Hints:
If you misplace the rice
measuring cup, a ¾
standard U.S. cup is an
exact replacement.
To add more flavor
to rice, try substituting
water for a favorite
meat or vegetable broth
or stock. The ratio of
broth/stock to rice will
be the same as water
to rice.

grain cooking times
and suggested grain/
water ratios, see the
