Rice boils over, causing foamy water to escape from the steam vent and lid.

Safety first: Keep hands away from hot foam and steam. Turn off the cooker if overflow is severe.

• Check fill level: Ensure rice and water do not exceed the MAX line for your program.
• Rinse rice: Rinse rice thoroughly until water runs mostly clear to reduce surface starch.
• Clean anti-block shield: Remove and clean the anti-block shield or steam cap to ensure proper steam flow.
• Select correct program: Use the dedicated Rice or Porridge program as recommended in the Panasonic manual.
