NOTE: For extra flavor, you may add lemon juice, broth or white wine to the water in the Reservoir. Do NOT use beer, red wine, oil, extracts (i.e., vanilla) or fruit juices in the Reservoir as they may stain.

Drip Tray 2. Hold the Drip Tray by the handle and place it into the Base (Figure A).

3.Place herbs in the Flavor Scenter Screen for added flavor (Figure B).

		Important: To prevent small herbs or ground spices from
		falling through the Flavor Scenter Screen, rinse or wet the
		screen before adding seasonings.
A	Base	You may use the Drip Tray without adding herbs to the Flavor
		Scenter if you prefer.
Flavor Scenter
		NOTE: Use the Drip Tray whenever the Rice Bowl is not
Screen
		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
B	Cover handles line up over the Bowl handles and the tabs
	fit properly into the openings.
