Troubleshooting

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Drip tray and/or steaming bowls tilt/are unstable.

Unit will not turn on. • Check to ensure unit is plugged in. Steaming takes too

long/little or no steam.

Rice cooked in rice bowl is under/overcooked.

Unit does not shut off after steaming.

Food not cooked uniformly.

Food done in bottom tray, but not done in top tray.

• Drip tray installed incorrectly. Reorient the drip tray and place tray 1 ﬁ rst.

• Heating element has accumulated deposits. Clean by putting 5 Tablespoons (74 ml) white vinegar into water reservoir; then ﬁ ll water reservoir with tap water to the MIN line. Turn unit on and set timer for 5 minutes. Allow liquid to cool and then wash/dry all pieces thoroughly.

• Water level is too low, or lid not placed on steam bowl. Ensure only one steaming bowl is used. Ensure lid is placed securely on steam bowl.

• Unit has switched to Keep Warm mode. Turn steamer off if desired, or allow unit to keep food warm until ready to eat.

• Steaming bowl overcrowded with food. Leave enough space for adequate steam ﬂ ow.

• Food cooks faster in bottom tray. Always place the longer cooking food items in lower tray. Or, place one tray (with the longer cooking food) onto the base and let steam ﬁ rst; then later add the second tray with the shorter cooking food. Try not to block steam holes.
