Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cooker does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outage; faulty outlet. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the cooker and a working electrical outlet. Check your home's circuit breaker. |
| Rice is too hard or undercooked. | Insufficient water; incorrect rice-to-water ratio; lid not properly closed. | Add more water next time, following recommended ratios. Ensure the lid is securely closed during cooking. |
| Rice is too mushy or overcooked. | Too much water; incorrect rice-to-water ratio. | Reduce water amount next time. Ensure accurate measurements using the provided cup. |
