STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
Allow appliances to coo! completely before storing. Store Food Steamer in a dry location such as on a table top or counter top, or in a cupboard shelf. Wind the electrical cord into a coil and secure with a twist fastener. Other than the recom- mended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be necessary. Return the Food Steamer to our Hattiesburg, MS, Service Center for servicing or repairs (See page 18).
