Troubleshooting

· Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.
If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker
switches to Warm, 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 thoroughly. Press
the switch down to Cook. When the cooker switches to
Warm, carefully 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 moist or soggy when the cooker
switches to Warm, use the serving spatula to stir the
rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moist) part of
the rice as well as release excess moisture. Close
the lid and let the rice sit on Warm for 10-30 minutes
as needed, stirring periodically to release excess
moisture.
