Bamboo IH Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
 Make sure the steam vent cap is on the appliance
Unable to start cooking
or buttons won’t respond  Make sure the power cord is pushed as far into the
appliance as possible
 For the ‘START’, ‘KEEP WARM’ and ‘CANCEL’ buttons you
need to
press and hold for 2 seconds
A noise is heard during
cooking or keep warm  All Induction Heating rice cookers have a fan fitted, you will
hear the fan activate and will turn on/off helping to adjust
the cooking temperature of the appliance, it is nothing to
worry about
Steam comes out from
between the outer lid
and main body  Check the outer lid is fitting properly and has not deformed.
Is the outer lid gasket dirty? If so, clean the outer lid gasket
CAKE BAKING
Cake is not cooked or
doesn’t rise

The cooking time may have been too short

Beat any egg whites until foamy, otherwise there may not
be sufficient rise to the cake

Do not beat egg whites too much – if they separate, they
are beaten too much and will cause the cake to collapse

Measure the ingredients accurately – inaccuracy in
measuring can cause insufficient baking/rising

Over-mixing the batter when adding the flour may cause
insufficient baking or rising

Adding too many additional ingredients can cause the
cake to bake unevenly – follow the amount listed in recipes

Bake the cake immediately after preparing the batter -
allowing the batter to sit for an extended period of time
may deflate the batter and cause the cake to collapse
Cake rises too much  Did you add baking powder or baking soda? Do not add
baking powder or baking soda as it may cause the cake to
rise too high
Cake is difficult to
release from the inner
bowl  Make sure you grease the inner bowl well
 Leave the cake to cool completely
The cake breaks easily  Freshly baked cake can break easily. Make sure you leave
the cake to cool completely before turning out or handling
The cake is
scorched/burnt  Make sure the inner bowl isn’t deformed
 The cooking time may have been too long, make sure you
follow the recommended cooking times
NOTE – do not place other cake pans or wax paper into the appliance or inner bowl. Doing
so may cause a malfunction or the inner bowl to deform
STEAMING
Food does not steam  Is there sufficient water for steaming? Make sure there is
water to at least the two cup mark on the inner bowl
 Is there too much food in the steaming basket? – reduce
the amount of food or increase the cooking time
 The food may be in too large pieces, reduce the size of
food pieces or increase the cooking time
Steamed food is too hard  Vegetables – steaming time was too short. Make sure there
is enough water and continue to steam
 Fish and meat – steaming time was too long. Reduce the
cooking time
Steamed food is cold  Has too much time elapsed from when the cooking cycle
ended? Try not to leave on ‘KEEP WARM’, remove
immediately from the appliance and eat
KEEP WARM
 Do not keep very small amounts of rice on ‘KEEP WARM’.
Has the ‘KEEP WARM’ been used for more than 12 hours?
 The type of rice and water may have caused the rice to
look yellow. Was the spatula left in the inner bowl whilst on
‘KEEP WARM’
