Kumo Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
 Rice may not have been washed enough, leaving too much
starch on the rice
 Make sure the inner bowl isn’t deformed
Boils over while
cooking  Check the setting you have selected and the water level you
have filled to
 Make sure the steam vent cap is on the appliance
A noise is heard
during cooking
or keep warm  A clicking noise is just the microprocessor (MICOM) adjusting the
cooking temperature of the appliance, it is nothing to worry
about
 A ‘sparking’ noise may occur if the inner bowl has any kind of
moisture on the bottom of it as the heating element warms.
Make sure the inner bowl is completely dry.
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
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
Rice has a smell,
is yellow or
there is
excessive
moisture  Do not keep very small amounts of rice on ‘KEEP WARM’
 Has the ‘KEEP WARM’ been used for more than 15 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’
 Did you loosen rice immediately after it had cooked – if not,
loosen
 It may be a left over smell from a previous cooking cycle
(especially if slow cooking dishes)
TIMER
COOKING
