OPERATING

TECHNIQUES

Refer to Steaming Guide or Recipes for recommended cooking times.

Preparing To Cook

Position the base unit where you want to do your cooking. Choose a flat, dry, sturdy surface. Make sure that each individual component fits securely on top of the part below. Position the large steaming tray on the base until it fits securely in place. If you are using the second steaming tray, place the smaller tray inside the larger one. The smaller tray will nest on top of the larger one, and the handles will be aligned. The steamer should not be positioned under wall cabinets when operating. Steam may damage cabinets.

Note: The larger tray must always be put on the base first, and the smaller tray must always sit inside the larger one. It is not possible to use the small tray alone. Never attempt to put the small tray directly onto the base.

Fill water reservoir to desired level with cold tap water. Place the water reservoir on the reservoir holder in the rear of the steamer unit. Place lid on top of steaming tray. Insert Turbo Convection Fan onto top of lid. Make sure the prongs are properly fitted into the slots. Push down with light pressure to engage. If the prongs are not inserted correctly, the unit will not operate. Plug the cord into the power outlet.

Using the Rice Bowl

When using the Rice Bowl, liquid such as water or stock is added to rice in the Rice Bowl. The Large Steaming Tray must be placed on the base first; then the Rice Bowl is placed inside the steamer tray for use. Measure the required quantity of rice and liquid in the Rice Bowl according to the Steaming Guide.

Cover with Lid. Plug into wall outlet. Do not operate the appliance without the large Steaming Tray and lid in place.

WARNING: During use, never touch the base, steamer bowls, or lid, since they get very hot.

When steaming is complete, the timer will give an audible tone and automatically shut off the steaming function.

When you have finished steaming, unplug from wall socket and allow to cool completely and clean before storing.

Setting The Time

•Use the dial on the control panel to select the desired steaming time.

•Once the desired time has been set, the steaming process will begin.

Stopping the Steamer

•The steamer will automatically shut off after the programmed time has elapsed.

•An audible tone will signal that steaming is complete.

•If you should desire to stop the steamer before time has elapsed completely, simply turn the dial back to zero.

After Cooking

•Unplug the plug from the power outlet.

•Wait 1 minute after turning off steamer before removing lid to avoid steam burns.

•When removing the lid or other components from your steamer, make sure to use oven mitts. First remove the turbo convection fan. Then remove lid carefully, lifting the side farthest away from you first, to allow the steam to escape away from you.

•Lift off the top steaming tray first (if you used both trays).

•Next remove the bottom (larger) steaming tray.

•Set the trays down on a flat, heat- resistant surface, and remove contents.

•During the cooking cycle, water from condensation will accumulate in the steamer base. Allow to cool completely before emptying and following cleaning instructions on page 6.
