TROUBLESHOOTING
Before calling for service, review the following tips. It may save you time and money. This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of poor work-manship or defective materials.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
- Rice is too dry/hard after cooking
- If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the rice cooker switches to Keep-Warm, additional water and cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your riceis, add 1/2 to 1 cup of water and stir through. Close the lid and press the White Rice button. When rice cooker switches to Keep-Warm, 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 soggywhen the rice cooker switches to Keep-Warm, use the serving spatula to stir the rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moistest) part of the rice as well as release excess moisture. Close the lid and allow to remain on Keep-Warm for 10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid and stirring periodically to release excess moisture.
- The bottom layer of rice is browned/ caramelized
- The bottom layer of cooked rice may become slightly browned and/or caramelized during cooking. To reduce browning, rice should be rinsed before cooking to remove any excess starch. Stirring rice once it switches to Keep-Warm will also help to reduce browning/caramelizing.
