Troubleshooting

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 the 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.

NOTE: Because rice varieties may vary in their make-up, results may differ. Here are some troubleshooting tips to help you achieve the desired consistency.

Cooking Rice

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.
10. After 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 off cooker.
12. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

NOTE:

• 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.

HELPFUL HINTS:

• 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.

STEAM

1. Using the provided measuring cup, add 2 cups of water to the inner pot.
2. Place the inner pot into the cooker.
3. Place the steam tray into the cooker.
4. Place food to be steamed onto the steam tray.
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 MENU to select STEAM. The digital display will show a flashing “5” to represent five minutes of steam time.
9. Press HOUR and MINUTE functions to adjust the cooking time for the steaming function. The range can be adjusted from 1 minute to 1 hour (long press for quick increase).
10. Press the /ON/OFF/START button to begin cooking.
11. When the water reaches a boil, the digital display will countdown in 1 minute increments from the selected time.
12. Once the selected time has passed, the cooker will beep and switch to KEEP WARM.
13. Check steamed food for doneness. If finished steaming, carefully remove food when finished steaming to prevent overcooking. Wear a protective, heat-resistant glove when removing to prevent possible injury.
14. When finished steaming, turn the cooker off by pressing KEEP WARM/CANCEL so digital display reads "----". Press /ON/OFF/START to turn off cooker.
15. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

HELPFUL HINTS:

• Smaller foods may be placed on a heat-proof dish and then placed onto the steam rack. Parchment paper or aluminum foil may be used as well. Place the paper/foil in the center of the steam rack and ensure it does not create a seal along the bottom of the steam rack. For best results, it is recommended to puncture small holes in the paper/foil.
• For suggested steaming times and water amounts, see the meat and vegetable steaming tables.
