Troubleshooting
No power. Cook/Warm lights do not illuminate.
1. Check power point is not faulty and power is switched on.
2. Fuse may need replacing. Refer to your servicing agent.
Note On One-Shot Thermal Fuse: Your G&K Rice Cooker has been
fitted with the very best One-Shot thermal fuses available on the market.
Thermal fuses are designed to protect the element in the case of a power
surge or an overheating event.
Thermal fuses are considered to be consumable components. A blown
fuse occurs as part of the normal protection of your Rice Cooker from
events that may otherwise irreparably damage the unit. Thermal fuses also
have a limited life span, much like light bulbs, and will need to be replaced
from time to time (this is normal) and not a warranty issue. Fuses can be
purchased through your retailer or through G&K Distributors Pty Ltd
directly. The fuse should be fitted by a suitably qualified expert. Labour is
not covered by G&K Distributors Pty Ltd.
In order to avoid blown fuses please:
• Avoid operating unit on faulty power points.
• Ensure that sufficient wat er is use d wh en pr epari ng ri ce.
• Use only one rice cooker bowl, with a single rice cooker.
• Allow the rice cooker to stay on keep warm function for at least 30
minutes before resetting the cook function.
• Ensure that any rice being kept warm, does not dry out (you cannot
add water to cooked rice being kept warm). Dry rice should be
discarded.
• Do not operate the rice cooker on power points that are shared by
other appliances.
• Keep the heating element and the sensor in the centre of the
heating element, free from dirt, rice or burnt food residue. Dirty
sensors and elements will cause the fuse to blow due to overheating and faulty temperature sensing.
