Troubleshooting
The 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.
The 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 it to remain on Keep Warm mode for 10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid and stirring periodically to release excess moisture.
Delay Timer
