6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Moosum Electric Rice Cooker, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Rice is too hard/undercooked:
  • Ensure correct rice-to-water ratio. Add slightly more water next time.
  • Make sure the lid is securely closed during cooking.
  • Do not open the lid during cooking, as this releases steam and heat.
• Rice is too soft/mushy:
  • Ensure correct rice-to-water ratio. Reduce water slightly next time.
  • Some rice types require less water. Adjust accordingly.
• Cooker does not turn on:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the cooker and the wall outlet.
  • Verify that the outlet is functioning by plugging in another appliance.
• Rice sticks to the bottom:
  • Ensure the inner pot's ceramic nonstick coating is not damaged.
  • Add a small amount of cooking oil to the rice before cooking.
  • Do not leave rice on 'Keep Warm' for excessively long periods.
• Steam leaks from the lid:
  • Ensure the lid is properly seated and closed.
  • Check if the inner lid or gasket is clean and correctly installed.

If the problem persists after trying these solutions, please contact customer support.
