TROUBLESHOOTING

Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.
If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker switches to Keep Warm, additional water and cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water and stir thoroughly. Close the lid and select the White Rice function once more. When the cooker switches to Keep Warm mode, 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 soggy when the cooker switches to Keep Warm, use the serving spatula to stir the rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moist) part of the rice as well as release excess moisture. Close the lid and allow the cooker 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 a dishwasher; a slight discoloration to the inner pot may occur. This is cosmetic and will not negatively affect performance.
• Not satisfied with your Aroma. purchase? Our product experts con Before returning, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-276-6286 for product support, helpful tips and more!

Helpful Hints:
The provided rice measuring cup is equivalent to a 34 standard U.S. cup. Note:

• Because rice varieties may vary in their make-up, results may differ.

RICE a GRAIN

1. Using the provided measuring cup, add rice or grain to the inner pot.
2. Rinse to remove excess starch. Drain.
3.  For white rice or brown rice, fill the inner pot with water to the line that matches the number of cups of uncooked rice added. For other grains, see the “Grain & Water Measurement Table” on page 9.
4. Place the inner pot into the cooker and close the lid securely.
5.  Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC wall outlet.
6. Press ( )/Start to turn the cooker on.
7. Press White Rice or Brown Rice, depending on the type of grain being cooked.
8.  Press ( )/Start to begin cooking. The cooking indicator light will illuminate and the digital display will show a chasing pattern as the cooker begins heating.
9. The digital display will count down the final 12 minutes of cook time.
10.  Once the cycle has been completed, the cooker will beep and automatically switch to Keep Warm.
11.  For best results, stir the grain with the serving spatula to distribute any remaining moisture.
12.  When finished serving, turn the cooker off by pressing Keep Warm/Cancel so the digital display reads Press ( )/Start to turn the cooker off.
13. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Caution:
The cooker will not switch to Koop Warm mode until the oil liquid has evaporated. Follow your recipe carefully and do not leave the cooker unattended. Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, check that it is dry and free of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the cooker.
Brown Rico requires a much longer cooking cycle than other rice varieties due to the extra bran layers on the groins. The Brown Rho function on this cooker allows extra time and adjusts heat settings in order to cook the rice properly. If it appears the cooker is not heating up immediately on the Brown Rico setting, this is due to o low-heat soak cycle that proceeds the cooking cycle to produce better Brown Rico
results. Food should not be left in the cooker on gimp Warm for more than 12 hours.
Helpful Hints:
If you misplace the rice measuring cup, a 3’s standard U.S. cup is an exact replacement. For approximate groin cooking times and suggested groin/ water ratios, see the ‘Rice/Groin & Water Measurement Tables’ on pages8-9.
