Frequently Asked Questions - ERC-D1233(WH) Elba

What is the maximum amount of rice I can cook in this rice cooker?

The maximum cooking capacity is 1.5 cups of raw rice using the provided measuring cup. This yields approximately 3 cups of cooked rice.

Can I cook grains other than rice, such as quinoa or oatmeal?

The rice cooker is primarily designed for white rice. However, you can cook other grains, but you may need to adjust the water level and cooking time according to the grain type. Always monitor the process and refer to the grain's instructions.

How should I clean the inner pot?

Clean the inner pot with mild detergent and a soft sponge. Avoid using metal brushes, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the non-stick coating. If food sticks, soak the pot in water before cleaning.

Why is my rice undercooked?

Undercooked rice may result from insufficient water or not pressing the power switch down fully. Ensure the water level reaches the indicated line for the number of cups, and that the switch is engaged until cooking completes.

Overcooked rice typically occurs from too much water. Follow the water level markings on the inner pot or adjust based on your preference. Also, avoid using hot water as it can affect the thermostat.
