Causes and Solutions
Did you stir the rice within 15 minutes after cooking is finished?
Failing to do so will result in excess water remaining and the cooked rice
becoming too sticky or hard.
This is typical when cooking with an IH heater and does not indicate an abnormality.
The inner pot itself generates heat and cooks rice in a manner in which the
rice along the wall of the inner pot becomes elevated to form a crater.
The thin film is produced as a result of the savory elements (starch) of the rice
melting and drying, and does not indicate an abnormality.
<Rice burns in the following cases>
Rice is not rinsed sufficiently. (The rice bran residue remains and is burnt.)
Rice other than brown rice is cooked with "JAPAN BROWN".
Rice is soaked in water for a long time or a long-time reservation is set.
Rice using seasonings, such as mixed rice, is cooked.
Foreign objects such as rice grains stick to the bottom of the inner pot or the
top of the bottom sensor.
A brownish black color may be left on the bottom depending on the amount of
cooked rice (small or large amount).
Did you cook the rice with the "Mixed" menu?
If you cook mixed rice or sticky rice with a menu other than "MIXED", the rice
cannot be cooked well.
Did you stir in the seasonings sufficiently after you added them?
If you do not sufficiently stir in the seasonings, they will sink to the bottom
and the rice will not be able to be cooked well.
If you stir the ingredients and rice, the rice may not be cooked well.
Cook the rice with the ingredients evenly placed over it.
Did you add a lot of ingredients or large ingredients?
Keep the ingredients below 75 g per cup of rice.
Is the amount of water appropriate?
Before adding the ingredients, adjust the amount of water to the water level
scale mark.
Did the amount of rice you cooked exceed the maximum amount of rice that can be
cooked?
When you add ingredients, the maximum amount of rice that can be cooked is
less than that when cooking white rice.
