TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible cause The rice was not cooked properly in the preset time.

• You did not press the START button. Cooking started once the timer was activated. • The timer was set for less than the minimum time needed to cook.

• Under these conditions the cooking starts after activating the timer function. The main functions were deactivated. • The pot was disconnected from the electrical outlet. A cooking function was not activated after the START button was pressed.

• The START was pressed when the keep warm function was turned on. The steam escaped in somewhere else than through the steam valve.

• The seal on the lid or the rim of the container is deformed or rice is sticking to it. There was apower failure during operation of the pot.

• The completion of the cooking time may be delayed.

• Depending on the length of the power failure, the cooking might have not been done properly. Sounds come out of the pot during cooking or keep warm mode.

• Clicking sounds are caused by adjustments of performance.

• Sounds are caused by steam coming from the space between the vessel and the heating plate. Over time it damages the heating element and the vessel, therefore it is important that both parts are dry before use.
