3.Place herbs in the Flavor Scenter Screen for added flavor. (Figure B) (See “Flavor Scenter Tips”). You may use the Drip Tray without adding herbs to the Flavor Scenter if you prefer.
NOTE: Use the Drip Tray whenever the Rice Bowl is not used. It prevents fats/juices from dripping into the water and bubbling up into the Steaming Bowl. If you like, save these juices for gravy, sauce, or soup starters.
4.Place food in the Steaming Bowl and cover it so that the Cover handles line up over the Bowl han- dles and the tabs fit properly into the openings.
5.Put the Steaming Bowl onto the Base, plug in and set the Timer for the desired cooking time, up to 75 minutes. When the time is up, a bell will ring, the cooking Light will go out, and the unit will automatically shut off. Some liquid will remain in the Reservoir.
CAUTION: Always use pot holders to remove the Cover. Be sure to lift the Cover away from your face and body to avoid escaping hot steam.
NOTE: If the desired cooking time is less than 15 minutes, first turn the Timer past 15 and then turn it back to the desired cooking time.
6.The adjustable Bowl Divider lets you steam two foods at once. However, different foods may require different steam times. See “Bowl Divider Tips.”
7.The Cover can be turned over and used as a trivet for the Steaming Bowl. (Figure C) Unplug, remove the Steaming Bowl, and place on the inverted Cover.
8.When cooking in the Rice Bowl, add rice, herbs, seasonings, and water directly to the Bowl and fill the water Reservoir to the appropri- ate line. Put the Steaming Bowl onto the Base and place the Rice Bowl with contents into the Steaming Bowl.
NOTE: Do NOT use the Drip Tray or Flavor Scenter Screen with the Rice Bowl.
9.The Rice Bowl can also be used for cooking vegetables or other foods with sauces, poaching chicken or fish in liquids, or reheating foods like casseroles.
