Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
Cooker doesn’t turn on.
Rice is not cooked.
Rice is mushy.
PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Cooker is not plugged in. Make sure rice cooker is plugged into a properly operating electrical outlet.
Not enough water/cooking liquid. Follow package directions or see Rice Cooking Chart for more information.
Carefully place cooking pot straight down in base. Make sure cooking pot is securely seated by rotating the pot left and
right. NOTE: If cooking pot is bent or warped, it will not seat properly in base and, therefore, will not conduct heat cor-
rectly. To replace cooking pot, call the toll-free Customer Assistance number listed on the cover of this guide
.
Too much liquid added to cooking pot. Reduce liquid.
Rice Cooker Cooking Time (approximate). Rice cooker will
switch to WARM after cooking time, indicating rice is cooked.
Serving Size = 3/4 cup (180 g)
• Stir prepackaged, boxed rice mixes at least once during cooking;
otherwise, spices may stick to the bottom of the cooking pot. For
best results, unplug unit when finished cooking this type of rice.
Do not “keep warm.”
• Rinsing rice will sometimes increase bubbling during cooking.
When cooking a half pot or less of rice, minimize bubbling/
overflow by reducing water by about one-third.
• Allowing rice to “rest” for approximately 5–10 minutes after cooking
will yield better-textured rice.
• Give rice a flavor boost by substituting an equal amount chicken/
beef/vegetable broth for water.
