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 the 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 loss 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:

• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or products that are not considered safe to use on nonstick coatings.
• If washing in the dishwasher, a slight discoloration to the inner pot and accessories may occur. This is cosmetic only and will not affect performance.
•  Any other servicing should be performed by  Aroma ® Housewares.

Hints:
The provided rice measuring cup is the equivalent to a 3/4 standard U.S. cup.

Note:
· Because of different varieties of rice, results may vary. Refer to these  troubleshooting tips to help you achieve the desired consistency.

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 adjust 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.
