10  Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems when using this appliance, check the following points before 

requesting service. If you cannot solve the problem, contact the Philips Consumer Care 

Center in your country. 

Problem

Solution

The rice is too soft, too 

hard, or not well cooked.

• 

If the appliance is positioned on an uneven or tilted 

surface, the texture of the cooked rice may be too hard 

or too soft as the amount of water becomes inconsistent.

• 

The texture of rice varies depending on the brand of rice, 

where it was harvested, and how long it was stored (new 

crop or old crop).

• 

The texture of rice varies depending on the room and 

water temperatures.

• 

Using the preset function may result in softer rice. This is 

normal.

• 

Using the ultra quick rice cooking menu setting may result 

in harder rice. This is normal.

• 

Check if the inner pot is deformed.

• 

There is not enough water. Add water according to the 

scale on the inside of the inner pot.

• 

Make sure that there is no foreign residue on the inside 

of the appliance and the outside of the inner pot before 

switching the appliance on.

The rice is scorched.

• 

Check if there are food residue on the inside of the 

appliance or outside of the inner pot. Remove the food 

residue.

• 

You have not rinse the rice properly. Rinse the rice until 

the water runs clear.

• 

Check if the inner pot is deformed.

Water spills out of the 

appliance during cooking.

• 

Make sure that you add water to the level indicated on 

the scale inside the inner pot that corresponds to the 

number of cups of rice used.

• 

Make sure the water does not exceed the maximum level 

on the scale, as this may cause the appliance to overflow 

during cooking.

The cake result is too hard. Use cake mixture and follow the instructions provided in the 

user manual.
