8. Troubleshooting

• Rice is too hard/undercooked: Ensure the correct rice-to-water ratio was used. Allow rice to rest in 'Keep Warm' mode for 5-10 minutes after cooking.
• Rice is too soft/mushy: Reduce the amount of water slightly for the next batch. Ensure rice was not over-soaked.
• Rice sticks to the bottom: While the ceramic coating is non-stick, ensure the inner pot is clean and free of residue. A very small amount of oil can be added before cooking.
• Cooker does not turn on: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the appliance and the wall outlet. Ensure the outlet is functional.
• Steam/water leaks from lid: Ensure the lid is properly closed and sealed. Check for any food debris preventing a tight seal.
