SOLUTION
• Add a few more
tablespoons of water
and cook a little longer.
Press the Rice button
( )
again. Recheck
the rice when the
appliance switches back
to warm.
• Fill the bowl with
hot soapy water and
let stand for several
minutes; then use a
nylon scrubber along
sides and bottom.
Rinse well.
• Make sure to cook no
more than maximum
amount suggested in
this manual. The amount
of rice to be cooked
should match the water
markings on the bowl.
• Add a small amount
(1 Tbs.) of butter or oil to
water before cooking.
• Use the rice measuring
cup that comes with
the appliance. The rice
measure provided holds
2/3
cup (5 fluid oz.) of
uncooked rice.
• Add water to match
water markings on the
rice bowl. Make sure you
have the correct ratio of
2/3
cup (5 fluid oz) rice to
1 cup water marking.
• Add additional liquid
to the cooking bowl
and switch back to the
risotto cooking function.
• Follow the recipe
directions in the
Instruction Booklet for
adding liquid one cup
at a time. This will allow
the risotto to cook to the
perfect consistency.
