TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Rice is too dry/hard
after cooking.
If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the
rice cooker switches to WARM mode,
additional water and cooking time will soften
the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is,
add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir through.
Close the lid and press the “COOK” button.
When rice cooker switches to 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 wet or soggy when the
rice cooker switches to warm mode, use the
rice paddle 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 warm mode for
10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid and
stirring periodically to release excess
moisture.
