Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value when cooked in the rice cooker. Foods may be steamed by placing food in the steaming tray over stock or water and closing the lid. Keep the lid closed while steaming food unless the recipe or chart specifically states to open the lid. By opening the lid unnecessarily steam is lost and the cooking time will be extended.

1.Measure 3 Rice Box™ cups or more of water or stock into the removable cooking bowl. Use up to a maximum of 6 Rice Box™ cups of water.

2.Place food to be steamed directly onto the steaming tray and insert into the removable cooking bowl. (Refer to the Steaming Charts on pages 23–25 for approximate cooking times).

3.Place removable cooking bowl with steaming tray into the outer housing and close the lid.

4.Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V power outlet and then switch on. The red START light will flash

5.Select the COOK/SUSHI setting by pressing the START button and two dashes ‘--‘ will appear on the LED screen. The red light on the START button will illuminate.

6.When steaming is finished, carefully open the lid and remove foods from the steaming tray. If further steaming is required ensure sufficient water is in the removable cooking bowl. If not, add more hot water or stock.

7.If no further steaming is required, press the STOP button and switch the rice cooker off at the power outlet and then unplug the cord. Allow to cool before cleaning.

NOTE

Generally, the amount of water required for steaming (3–6 cups water or stock) will be retained throughout the steaming process and this will prevent the LED screen showing the last 12 minutes of cooking and/or automatically switching to the WARM setting.

However, monitor the water level and do not let the removable cooking bowl boil dry during steaming. Hot liquid can be added during the steaming process.

The WARM setting can be selected independently after the Cancel button has been pressed.
