Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.
If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker switches to KEEP WARM,
additional water and cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on how
dry your rice is, add 1/2 to 1 cup of water and stir through. Close the lid and
press the WHITE RICE button. When cooker switches to KEEP WARM mode,
open the lid and stir the rice to check the
consistency. Repeat as necessary until rice is soft and moist.
Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.
If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the cooker switches to KEEP
WARM, use the serving spatula to stir the rice. This will redistribute the
bottom (moistest) part of the rice as well as release excess moisture. Close
the lid and allow to remain on KEEP WARM mode for 10-30 minutes as
needed, opening the lid and stirring periodically to release excess
moisture.
• Because rice varieties may vary in their make-up, results may differ. Here
are some troubleshooting tips to help you achieve the desired
consistency.
NOTE
Troubleshooting
1. Using the provided measuring cup, add rice to the inner pot.
2. Rinse rice to remove excess starch. Drain.
3. Fill with water to the line which corresponds to the number of cups of rice
being cooked.
4. Place the inner pot into the cooker.
5. Close the lid securely.
6. Plug the power cord into an available( 120V ~) wall outlet.
7. Press the /ON/OFF/START button to turn on the cooker.
8. Press WHITE RICE, QUICK RICE, or BROWN RICE to start cooking, the cooking
start indicator light and corresponding function indicator light will turn
on. The digital display will start showing the cooking time after one
rotation.
9. The rice cooker enters the full countdown display, and in the final stage of
cooking, it counts down accurately in 1-minute increments.
Cooking Rice
10. After the the cooking is finished, it will automatically switch to the
keep-warm mode.
11. When finished serving rice, turn the cooker off by pressing KEEP WARM
/CANCEL so digital display reads “----”. Press /ON/OFF/START to turn
offcooker.
12. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
• Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, check that it is dry and free of
debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the cooker.
• BROWN RICE requires a much longer cooking cycle than other rice
varieties due to the extra bran layers on the grains. The BROWN RICE
function on this cooker allows extra time and adjusted heat settings in
order to cook the rice properly. If it appears the cooker is not heating up
immediately on the BROWN RICE setting, this is due to a low-heat soak
cycle that proceeds the cooking cycle to produce better BROWN RICE
results.
• Rice should not be left in the cooker on KEEP WARM for more than 12 hours.
• Recommended timer pre-setting is no more than 12 hours to avoid food
deterioration.
• If you misplace the measuring cup, a 3/4 standard US cup is an exact
replacement.
• To add more flavor to rice, try substituting a favorite meat or vegetable
broth or stock. The ratio of broth/stock to rice will be the same as water to
rice.
• For approximate rice cooking times and suggested rice/water ratios, see
the “Rice/ Water Measurement Table” on page 11.
