Rice is mushy.
Rice cooker starts to
"beep" during
Steam Cook.
Cooking pot not fitting.
Display time skips
minutes or holds time.
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.
• 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 correctly. To replace cooking pot, call the toll-free Customer Assistance number listed on
the cover of this guide.
• Let rice rest for 10 to 15 minutes after cooking is complete and rice cooker has switched to Keep Warm.
• Too much liquid added to cooking pot. Reduce liquid.
• Cooking pot has boiled dry. Add more water and select Steam Cook function to continue steaming or
press START (I).
• Call the toll-free Customer Assistance number listed on the cover of this guide.
• Rice cooker is adjusting time for the type of rice and amount of rice and moisture in the cooker. The rice
cooker is working correctly. You may notice that the cooker will place a hold on the time or significantly
decrease cooking time as the moisture content changes.
