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 through. Place the lid
on top and switch to Cook. When the cooker switches
to Warm mode, remove 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. Place the
lid on top and allow to remain on Warm mode for 10-
30 minutes as needed, removing the lid and stirring
periodically to release excess moisture.
