STEAMING
1. Place the heating base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from any
edge. Note: As food cooks, steam will come out of appliance. To prevent
possible damage, do not place steamer directly under cabinets.
2. Add cold water to the desired level or as shown in the cooking chart. Note:
Never start the steamer without water or with water below the “MIN” line or
above the “MAX” line.
3. Place the drip tray in the heating base. Note: The drip tray must always be
used when steaming foods or cooking rice.
4. Place food items in the food baskets or rice bowl. Place the food basket on top
of the drip tray making sure the drip tray and food basket are aligned properly. If
you are using multiple food baskets, lay a separator ring on top of the bottom
food basket and snap the second food basket in place. Make sure the separator
ring is completely snapped on to the upper basket and all baskets line up
properly. If using the second and third baskets repeat this procedure. If you are
using the rice bowl, place the rice bowl inside any of the food baskets being
used. Always place the cover on the top basket being used.
5. Plug the cord into a 120 volt, AC electric outlet only. The appliance
will beep and display a cooking time of 10 minutes and the display
will read “OFF.” Note: If the steamer is left idle for 5 minutes or
more, the digital display will turn off. Press any button on the
steamer to reactivate the display.
Pressing the “STEAM TIME” buttons will adjust the steaming time up or down
between 00 and 90 minutes. Note: Hold either button down to scroll quickly.
See the steaming chart for approximate cooking times.
6. When the timer is at the desired steaming time, press the
“START/STOP” button to begin steaming. The “STEAM” icon will
appear in the display to indicate steaming has begun. To cancel
steaming, press the “START/STOP” button again.
