USEFUL HINTS

For high altitude cooking, steaming times may need to be increased.

Steaming times stated in the Steaming Guide and Recipes are only to be used as a guide. Times may vary depending on the size of pieces, spacing and placement in the bowl, and personal preference. As you become more familiar with the steamer, adjust cooking times accordingly.

A single layer of food steams faster than several layers. For larger quantities of food, the cooking time must be increased.

For best results, foods should be similar in size.

Meat, poultry and seafood must be thawed completely before steaming.

Always use cold water in the

Water Reservoir.

Never add seasonings, broth or herbs to the Water Reservoir. Water only must be used in the Water Reservoir.

Meat, poultry and seafood should not be touching the sides of the steamer trays – air must be able to circulate completely for proper cooking.

When using the rice bowl, wipe off the bottom after removing from steamer to avoid dripping hot accumulated water on counter or floor.

When using recipes, follow quantities as closely as possible for best results.

CLEANING AND

STORAGE

Always unplug the steamer from electrical outlet before cleaning. Before first use and after each use, clean each part thoroughly. Wash all parts (except Steamer Base and Turbo Convection Fan) in warm soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.

Do not use chlorine bleach or abrasive cleaners on any part of the steamer.

For convenience, the following parts are top rack dishwasher safe:

•Large Steaming Tray

•Second Steaming Tray

•Rice Bowl

•Lid

Never put Turbo Convection Fan or Steamer Base in Dishwasher and never immerse Turbo Convection Fan or Steamer Base in water. These parts may be wiped with a damp cloth to remove residue.

Store your steamer in a dry place, out of the reach of children.

DESCALING THE

STEAMER

After several months of use, chemical deposits may build up on the heating element of your steamer. This process is normal. Therefore, you should descale regularly to maintain maximum steam production and extend the life of your steamer.

To descale the steamer, fill the Water Reservoir to the maximum level with white vinegar (not brown vinegar). Plug into a socket. Bowl, lid and Water Reservoir should be in place.

Set timer for 25 minutes and begin steaming.

When the timer sounds, unplug and allow to cool completely before pouring out vinegar.

Rinse the Water Reservoir several times with fresh, cold water.
