I did use the up that came with the rice. I didn't wash the rice, though, so maybe that was the problem? I put the water slightly under the mark they put on the cooker, but it was higher than you said so I'll try this. Also didn't let the rice sit.

Yeah the directions rarely tell you to wash the rice, but it's super important because a lot of starch from white rice sloughs off the grains in transport and it has the same effect as dumping a load of cornstarch all over your rice when it cooks. If you don't wash it off it forms a gluey coating and doesn't let the individual grains cook properly.

The best way to wash rice is to run water into the rice cooker bowl with the desired amount of rice inside, grab a few handfuls and rub them together until the water is milky, and then drain the water and rinse again 2-3 times until the water is clear.

Just wanted to add that I never bother to wash rice and mine comes out well, idk, ymmv OP. I do the absorption method with long grain, basmati, jasmine, etc, put rice in pot, put water to twice the level of the rice, put on to boil, then put lid on and simmer very very low (on gas) or just turn off (hotplate, provided room is warmish) for ages and then it comes out fluffy and good.
