STEAMING GUIDE
When bell sounds and Cooking Light stops glowing, unplug cord from outlet. Pour out vinegar solution and using a non- abrasive plastic brush, scrub the Heater Element.
Rinse only interior surfaces with fresh water.
Exterior of Base: Wipe Base and cord with a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Never immerse Base in liquid or place in dishwasher.
To maintain appearance of the exterior, avoid the use of abrasive pads, brushes or cleansers.
NOTE: Steaming times will vary depending on desired doneness and quantity used. The cooking times in the Steaming Guide are suggested times. You may want to lengthen/shorten cooking times to suit your taste. The times suggested in the Steaming Guide are total cooking times, starting when the Timer is turned ON.
While the majority of foods cook in much less than 75 minutes, longer cooking times may require adding additional water to the Water Reservoir. Remember to reset the Timer. Also, when using the ”Lo” fill line and if the unit shuts off just short of your desired doneness, just add 1/2 cup water and reset the Timer. Watch food to avoid overcooking.
CAUTION: To avoid steam burns and when checking foods while cooking, use long handled utensils/tongs. Always use potholders to remove Cover. When removing the Cover, be careful to lift Cover slowly.
When a Foil Cover is Used Over the Rice Bowl
Some foods that are steamed in the Rice Bowl need an aluminum foil cover to prevent excess moisture from getting into the food.
Foods that need a foil cover are specified in the Steaming Guide.
