Sakura Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
CAKE BAKING
CAKE BAKING
Cake is not cooked or
doesn’t rise
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
Do not add too much baking powder or baking
soda as it may cause the cake to rise too high
Cake is difficult to release
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
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.
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 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’
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
Appliance starts cooking
immediately
The minimum default time is 70 minutes, anything
less than this will start the cooking cycle
immediately
Food isn’t ready at the set
time
Cooking may not complete at the set time if the
temperature in the room or the water level is too
low
Was there a power cut? This will cause the unit to
reset
