Troubleshooting
Pasta is not fully cooked.
Ensure you are using boiling water. Check that the water level is sufficient to cover the pasta. Increase the standing time slightly, checking for doneness periodically.
Water is difficult to drain.
Ensure you are tilting the cooker correctly over a sink or bowl. Check that the draining holes are not obstructed.
Cooker feels flimsy or unstable.
Place the cooker on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure it is not overloaded, which could affect its balance.

This may be due to abrasive cleaning. Use only soft cloths and mild dish soap for cleaning. Minor cloudiness may not affect performance.
