or dishcloth.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Because rice variations may vary in their make-up, results may also differ. Below are some troubleshooting
tips to help you achieve the desired consistency.
Problem
Rice is to dry/hard
after cooking.
Rice is too moist/soggy
after cooking.
Solution
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 down the power switch to “COOK” mode.
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.
If you 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.
