for a few minutes in Keep Warm Mode and add some more liquid to the Inner
Pot if required before trying again.

TIPS FOR COOKING RICE
The cooking time will vary depending on the ratio of rice to water and the
quantity being made. Typical cooking time for two servings of rice is around
25 minutes.
Do not serve the cooked rice immediately after cooking has finished. Let the
rice simmer in Keep Warm mode for another 10 minutes before eating.
The water level line marked on the Inner Pot is for reference. The rice to
water ratio can be modified according to different rice varieties and personal
preferences. The quantity of rice and water should not exceed the maximum
amount indicated in the Inner Pot to avoid overflowing.
TIPS FOR COOKING PORRIDGE OR CONGEE
The cooking time is around 30 to 120 minutes and will depend on the ratio of
oats/rice to water/milk and the quantity being made.
The Multi Cooker will automatically switch to keep warm mode when the
porridge or congee is ready. This will produce quite thick porridge or congee.
