Using the Food Steamer
Your food steamer comes equipped with three steamer baskets. You may use just one at a time or all three together.
•The steamer baskets can be assembled in any order on the steamer base.
•After filling the water reservoir with water and placing the drip pan on the steamer base, place the first steamer basket on the drip pan. Place the food that you wish to be steamed in the steamer basket. We recommend that you place the largest pieces of food that take the longest to cook on the lower basket. Also, the food will steam more evenly if there is only one layer of food.
•If you wish to use more than one steamer basket, attach one of the stacking rings on the bottom of the second steamer basket making sure that it snaps in place.
•If you wish to use the third steaming basket also, attach the second stacking ring on the bottom of the third steaming basket on place over the second steaming basket.
•If you do not wish to use more than one steaming basket, place the steamer lid on the steaming basket.
•Plug the appliance into an electrical outlet.
•Turn the timer to the desired cooking time. The maximum cooking time on the timer is 60 minutes. The unit will start steaming after approximately 6 minutes. Condensation during steaming is normal.
