RamyCook FAQ

24 questions. Covering buying, usage, cleaning, safety, after-sales and specifications.

Purchasing

Which countries do you export to?

South Korea, the United States and several Southeast Asian countries. Bulk orders and OEM projects are supported.

Do the machines carry 3C certification?

Has 3C certification. Corresponding documents can be provided according to the target market. Regarding the scope of mandatory certification for specific models (such as China 3C), because applicability varies by batch and model, it is recommended to request the certificate number for that model from customer service and verify it before purchasing; we will provide it together during the quotation stage.

Usage

Can I use any brand of instant noodles?

Yes. Both cup and packet noodles fit; the machine controls the heating time according to the setting you choose.

Do I have to add water first?

Yes. Heating the plate dry will damage it. The water level must cover the heating plate before the machine will start.

What water should the machine use? Can it run off tap water?

Direct mains tap water is not recommended. The machine takes a dual inlet: filtered water from a purifier, or bottled purified water. Municipal hardness varies, and hard water scales noticeably faster.

How full does the tank need to be? What happens when it runs dry?

The tank must hold more than 1 litre before the machine dispenses; capacity is 1.3 L. Below that level it beeps and stops dispensing — top it up and it continues.

What are the requirements for connecting a water purifier?

The JM9A needs a purifier rated 600 gallons or more, or one with a pressure tank, plus a negative-pressure valve — it draws 1 L/min and protects itself if supply falls short. The M5A and M8A accept either a purifier or bottled water.

How long before the machine is ready on first power-on?

About 8 minutes. On first power-on the machine fills automatically, heats to 83 °C, then stops; operation is enabled only after that. This applies to the M5A and M8A — the JM9A heats on demand and needs no preheat.

Which containers work? Are paper bowls included?

Induction-compatible paper bowls, foil bowls and trays, iron or steel pots and stainless steel bowls. Paper bowls are not included and must be bought separately; the foil lining conducts heat fast and the bowl is thrown away after use.

What else can it cook? Will food stick and scorch?

Instant porridge, dumplings, wontons, rice noodles. If the container is empty or food sticks to the bottom it can scorch locally — always put eggs and seasoning on top of the noodles, never at the bottom.

What water volume and time does each preset use?

M5A and M8A: M1 dry mixed 400 mL / 3 min 40 s, M2 soup 450 mL / 4 min, M3 thick 500 mL / 5 min. The JM9A differs (M1 540 mL, M2 680 mL, M3 300 mL, all 3 min 30 s) — follow the panel.

Can the water volume and time be changed?

Yes. In standby mode, enter administrator mode (refer to the manual for how to enter administrator mode on each machine). Press the water volume button to adjust the water volume and the time button to adjust the time. You can set each level and then save. Changing the menu does not require an engineer.

What happens if the bowl is removed mid-cook?

It stops automatically. Putting the bowl back within 3 seconds continues the cycle; beyond 3 seconds the automatic programme exits and starts over when replaced.

Cleaning

How do I clean it after cooking?

Pour out the leftover water and wipe the inner pot and heating plate with a soft cloth. Do not rinse the whole unit under water.

How often should the machine be descaled?

The machine has a built-in descaling function; run it according to local water hardness rather than a fixed calendar. Slower dispensing, slower heating and new crackling during heating are the signals to descale.

Safety

Can it run dry? Does the plate get hot to touch?

It will not dry-burn unattended: if the pot is removed or unsuitable cookware is placed and not replaced within 1 minute, the induction cooker shuts off; severe overheating stops it until it cools. The plate stays hot after use — do not touch it.

What do the error codes mean?

E0 no cookware detected, E2 IGBT fault, E3 under-voltage, E4 over-voltage, E6 plate over-temperature, E13 fan fault, E29 insufficient inlet flow (JM9A). For E0 check that the container is seated and induction-compatible; for E29 check the purifier flow rate and that the line is not blocked. The rest usually indicate a power or cooling issue — power off, let it cool, restart, and contact us if it persists.

After-sales

What should I do if the machine breaks down?

Power it off first, note the error code on the panel (E0 no cookware, E6 plate over-temperature), then contact us. Most issues can be traced to a specific part from the code without returning the whole unit.

How long is the warranty?

The warranty period is stated on the warranty card and in the contract, and we confirm it at quotation stage. It covers the unit and core components against non-accidental damage.

How do I buy wear parts?

Seals, heating plates and tanks can be ordered separately; we supply a parts list and lead time per model. We recommend keeping one spare set of seals on site.

Does it need professional installation?

No professional installation is required — connect the water inlet and power, and the first power-on fills and preheats automatically in about 8 minutes. For multi-unit rollouts we can provide on-site commissioning and staff training.

Specs

How much power does it draw? Will a normal socket do?

M5A and M8A draw 2200W total (1200W of which is the induction cooker) at 220V~/50Hz; the JM9A draws 2000W at 220–240V~ 50/60Hz. All three use a 10A earthed plug with about 1400mm of exposed cord, and run from an ordinary commercial socket.

How big and how heavy is it?

The M8A and JM9A share the same footprint at 237 × 390 × 442 mm, weighing 5.5 kg and 4.7 kg net respectively; the M5A measures 250 × 480 × 500 mm at 8.5 kg net. All three sit on a countertop and need no dedicated prep room.

How does the JM9A instant-heating design differ from the other two?

The JM9A heats cold water on demand through a thick-film element, so no tank sits reheating and no preheat is needed — 3 min 30 s per bowl. The M5A and M8A heat a 1.3 L tank and need an 8-minute first preheat to 83 °C.
