Cooking with more than 1 steam tray

This appliance comes with 3 steam trays:

1.Upper steaming tray (with ‘T’ marking on the handles).

2.Middle steaming tray (with ‘M’ marked on the handles).

3.Lower steaming tray (with ‘B’ marked on the han- dles). This allows more food to be steamed at one time and also allows foods that require a shorter cooking time to be added during cooking.

1.If you are cooking food with only one steaming bowl, you must put the lower tray on the juice collector with the lid on top.

2.If you are cooking food with two steaming trays, you must put the lower tray on the juice collector and the middle tray over it with the lid on top.

3.If you are cooking food with all

three steaming trays, you must put the lower tray on the juice collector, the middle tray over it and the upper tray with the lid on top.

If you are cooking food with different cooking times, start cooking in the lower steaming bowl with the food requiring a longer cooking time. When the timer reaches the correct time for the food which requires a shorter cooking time, remove the lid and put the higher steaming bowl in position. Close the lid and continue cooking.
