Category Trouble
Rice has odor.
Rice becomes
yellow.
Rice dries up.
Causes and Solutions
Did you keep the rice warm with the rice scoop inside?
Did you add cold rice to the rice that is being kept warm?
The rice may be contaminated by various bacteria, resulting in odor.
Did you stir the rice thoroughly after cooking is finished?
Stir the rice within 15 minutes thoroughly from the bottom and let any excess
water evaporate.
Did you rinse the rice sufficiently?
If the rice bran remains, the rice will absorb the odor.
Did you keep the rice warm for more than 24 hours?
Doing so may cause discoloration, odor, or drying out.
It is recommended to turn off the keep-warm mode within a short period of
time, freeze and store the rice, and reheat it in a microwave oven before you
eat it.
Did you make a reservation of more than 12 hours in summer?
Soaking the rice in water for a long time may cause the water to deteriorate,
resulting in odor.
Did you cook the rice after cooking mixed rice or the like?
If you use seasonings, the odor remains. Wash the inner pot, heat sink, and
cartridge carefully.
Are the heat sink, cartridge, bush, and other parts free from dirt, or did you forget to
attach them?
Are foreign objects such as rice grains stuck on the area between the edge of the
inner pot and the lid packing?
Remove them.
Cooked rice may appear yellow depending on the type of rice and water.
If you cook the rice in alkaline water with a pH value of 9 or more, or mineral
water with a high degree of hardness, the cooked rice appears yellow.
