Troubleshooting Guide
Problem . . . Solution . . .
Cooker doesn’t
turn on.
• Cooker is not plugged in. Make sure rice cooker is plugged into a properly operating
electrical outlet.
Rice is not
cooked.
• Not enough water/cooking liquid. See Rice Cooking Chart for more information.
• Carefully place cooking pot straight down in base. Make sure cooking pot is securely
seated by rotating the pot left and right. NOTE: If cooking pot is bent or warped, it will
not seat properly in base and, therefore, will not cook rice correctly. To replace cooking
pot, call the toll-free customer assistance number listed on page 3 of this guide.
Rice is mushy. • Too much liquid added to cooking pot. Reduce liquid.
TIPS:
• Cook times and water levels will vary with other varieties of rice.
• The most important detail when cooking rice is the ratio of rice to water. Please refer to rice package
directions.
• To prevent overflow and/or overheating, do not exceed the Max Fill line when both rice and water are
added to cooking pot.
• When cooking oatmeal, grits, polenta, or macaroni, do not fill more than halfway since contents will
expand and could boil over.
• Brown rice takes more water to cook and cooking time is longer.
NOTE: Clean rice cooker after each use to prevent the accumulation of dirt and debris. Sanitize daily.
