What to do if my Tiger JKT-D Rice Cooker is not reheating?
Reheating may be disabled because the rice is cold (below approximately 131°F [55°C]). Alternatively, press the [Keep Warm] key, ensure the Keep Warm lamp is lit, and then press the [Start] key again.

Check for any cooked rice or grains of rice on the upper casing, inner lid gasket, or around the open/lock button. Completely remove any remaining rice to ensure proper sealing.
How to troubleshoot a Tiger JKT-D Rice Cooker when nothing happens when a key is pressed?
First, check if the power plug is properly connected to the outlet and ensure the Keep Warm lamp is on. If not, insert the power plug fully into the outlet. If that doesn't work, press the [Cancel] key to turn off the Keep Warm function, and then try the operation again.
Why can't I set the Timer function on my Tiger JKT-D?
Make sure you have set the correct current time. The Timer function may not be available for the selected menu function. Also, ensure you are setting a time that is acceptable under the Timer function.

This usually indicates that the inner pot is not properly set in the rice cooker. Make sure the inner pot is correctly placed inside.
Why is my Tiger Rice Cooker displaying a blurred screen?
Make sure there is no cooked rice or grains of rice stuck to the gaskets or the brim of the inner pot. Remove any remaining rice. Also, if the outer surface of the inner pot is wet, wipe it with a dry cloth.

First, ensure that you have set the correct current time on your rice cooker. Second, check “The cooking time is excessively long” under “If Rice Does Not Cook Properly” and take the necessary action.
Why does my Tiger JKT-D Rice Cooker beep 3 times when setting the Timer function?
The rice cooker beeps if no operation is performed within approximately 30 seconds after pressing the [Timer] key; however, the Timer function can still be set without interruption.
Why does my Tiger Rice Cooker make sounds during cooking?
A clicking sound means the fan is operating, which is normal. A buzzing or twittering sound indicates the IH (Induction Heating) is operating, which is also normal. These sounds are not malfunctions.
