7.Set steaming timer to 15 minutes. Adjust for shorter or longer cooking time as required.

. Remove meatballs when cooked and serve hot, drizzled with tomato sauce.

When steaming for a longer time, ensure the water reservoir is filled to the maximum MAX level on the water window before operation commences. During the longer cooking time ensure the water does not fall below the minimum MIN level. However, do not refill to the MAX level during operation. Allow the water to reach the MIN level then add extra water to align with the TOP-UP level on the water window. Do not refill past the TOP-UP line when the food steamer is in operation.
