FAQs
Can I use the rice cooker for brown rice?
Yes, though you may need to adjust the water ratio slightly higher and allow for a longer resting period compared to white rice.
Is the inner pot dishwasher safe?
While the pot is durable, hand washing is highly recommended to extend the lifespan of the non-stick coating.
How many cups of raw rice does it hold?
The 4L capacity generally supports up to 8 standard measuring cups of raw rice, which equates to about 3-4 servings when cooked.
Does it have a keep-warm function?
Yes, the device typically transitions to an automatic keep-warm mode once the cooking cycle concludes to maintain serving temperature.
Can I cook other grains like quinoa?
Yes, it is suitable for various grains, provided you monitor the water-to-grain ratio carefully.
Troubleshooting
Rice is too hard or undercooked
Ensure you are using the correct measuring cup ratio and that the pot is correctly seated on the heating plate.
The rice has a burnt bottom layer
Verify that the rice has been rinsed thoroughly to remove excess starch, which can cause sticking and scorching.
Steam is leaking from the lid
Check that the silicone seal on the lid is clean and properly seated without any food debris obstructing it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: place the unit on a flat, heat-resistant surface away from direct wall-mounted cabinets to prevent steam damage. Before first use, wash the inner pot with mild detergent and a soft sponge to preserve the non-stick coating. Never use metal utensils, as these can scratch the inner lining. When adding water, always use the provided measuring cup to ensure the rice-to-water ratio remains consistent with your preferences. To clean, wait for the unit to cool fully before removing the inner pot for hand washing.
