TROUBLE SHOOTING
If your rice cooker is not working automatically, perform the following diagnostic tests:
1. With the pilot lit and an empty rice pot in the cooker, start the main burner. Expect to
hear a click after 3 minutes and 15 seconds. The click is the sound of the sensor reach-
ing shut off temperture. If the main burner does not shut off, refer to the instructions
below on “Main burner does not shut off automatically.”
2. If the main burner shuts off, the sensor is working. Pour a gallon of water into the rice
pot and listen for the click of the senor returning to its cooking position. After insuring
the pilot is lit, start the main burner and cover the rice pot. If the cooker shuts off
within 20 minutes, refer the secion below about the unit shutting off before the rice is
done. If the unit cook for 20 minutes, remove the cover and allow the water to evapo-
rate. If the cooker shuts off after the water has evaporated, it is working normally. Feel
free to contact us with any questions you may have about the operation of this rice
cooker.
IF THE COOKER SHUTS OFF TOO SOON, NEVER PRESS THE COOK BUTTON A SECOND TIME.
THE RICE WILL BURN!
The sensor has activated and must cool to reset.
