• Stir prepackaged, boxed rice mixes at least once during cooking;
otherwise, spices may stick to the bottom of the cooking pot. For
best results, unplug unit when finished cooking this type of rice.
Do not "keep warm."
• Rinsing rice will sometimes increase bubbling during cooking.
When cooking a half pot or less of rice, minimize bubbling/
overflow by reducing water by about one-third.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM
PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Cooker doesn't turn on.
Cooker is not plugged in. Make sure rice cooker is plugged into a properly operating electrical outlet.
Rice is not cooked. Not enough water/cooking liquid. Follow package directions or see Rice Cooking Chart for more information.
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 cor-
rectly. To replace cooking pot, call the toll-free Customer Assistance number listed on the cover of this guide
Rice is mushy. Too much liquid added to cooking pot. Reduce liquid.
