Troubleshooting
· Grain is too dry/hard after cooking.
If your grain is dry or hard/chewy when the rice
cooker switches to Keep Warm, additional water and
cooking time will soften it. Depending on how dry the
grain is, add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir thoroughly.
Close the lid and press the desired function button.
When rice cooker switches to Keep Warm mode, open
the lid and stir to check the consistency. Repeat as
necessary until soft and moist.
· Grain is too moist/soggy after cooking.
If your grain is still too moist or soggy when the
rice cooker switches to Keep Warm, use the serving
spatula and stir. This will redistribute the bottom
(moist) part of the grain and release excess moisture.
Close the lid and allow to remain on Keep Warm
mode for 10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid
and stirring periodically to release excess moisture.

Note:
· Before placing the inner
pot into the rice cooker,
check that it is dry and
free of debris. Adding
the inner pot when wet
may damage the rice
cooker.
· Some grains require a
much longer cooking
cycle than others due
to the extra bran layers
on the grains. The
Brown Rice function on
this rice cooker allows
extra time and adjusted
heat settings in order to
cook the grain properly.
If it appears the rice
cooker is not heating
up immediately on the
Brown Rice setting, this
is due to a low-heat
soak cycle that precedes
the cooking cycle to
produce better results.
· Food should not be left
in the rice cooker on
Keep Warm for more
than 12 hours.

Hints:
If you misplace the
measuring cup, a ¾
standard U.S. cup is an
exact replacement.
To add more flavor
to rice, try substituting
a favorite meat or
vegetable broth or stock.
The ratio of broth/stock
to rice will be the same
as water to rice.
For approximate rice
and grain cooking times
and suggested rice/
water ratios, see the
"Rice/Grain & Water
Measurement Tables"
on pages 10-11.
