Symptom
Possible Solutions
Rice is scorched.
Steam escapes
between Glass Lid
and Cooking Pot
during cooking.
Check between the Cooking Pot and
Heating Plate for any foreign substances.
Be sure the area is clean.
Be sure to wash the Cooking Pot after
each use.
Be careful not to add easily-scorched
ingredients such as sugar, to the recipe
before cooking.

Pot for foreign substances, including rice

Warmed rice
smells bad or
discolored.
For best results, don’t use the WARM
option with brown rice. The bran in
unrefined grains can “break down”
when kept at low heat for extended
periods of time, causing an
unpleasant smell and taste.
Make sure the Glass Lid is properly
centered in position over Cooking
Pot when using the WARM Mode.
Be sure to wash the Cooking Pot after
each use.
Make sure you don’t leave the
Rice Paddle or other plastics in the
Automatic Rice Cooker while it is
cooking or warming.
