USING REMOVABLE STEAM BOWL BASES – EGG HOLDERS

?Each steam bowl is fitted with a removable base grid which when removed increases the volume of cooking area and can be used to cook large food items.

?The removable base grids snap back into place easily when you are finished cooking. ?When snapped into position, they may be used for cooking eggs.

USING THE RICE BOWL

?Place rice or other foods with sauce or liquid in the rice bowl. Place the rice bowl in the lowest steaming bowl and cover.

?Plug the appliance in.

?Set the timer for the recommended cooking time. ?When food is fully cooked to your taste, unplug the unit.

?After cooking, for best results, allow the rice to stand for 5 to 10 minutes with the lid on. Carefully open the lid, taking care to avoid escaping steam.

?Use a long handled utensil or rice paddle to mix the rice and allow steam to escape. ?It is recommended to cook with the rice bowl as a single tier for best steaming results.

?NOTE: If cooking continuously and the water drops below the MIN level, add water using the exterior water fill slots. If during cooking, there is no more water in the water tank, the appliance stops cooking as a safety measure.

USING THE TIMER

?The maximum controlled time is 60 minutes. If you need to cook food longer than 60 minutes, you will need to check the water level, add water if needed and reset the timer.

?If setting the timer for less than 15 minutes, be sure to turn the knob PAST 15 minutes then back to your desired lower time.

?When the set time expires, the timer will ring, the steamer will turn off and the power indicator light will turn

off.

REMOVING FOOD FROM THE STEAMING BOWLS

?Lift the lid by the handle, making sure to avoid escaping steam from burning your hands and arms. ?Allow water collected in the lid to drip back into the steaming bowl.

?Remove steam bowls using the handles.

?Remove and serve food using long handled utensils to avoid injury.

?NOTE: Use oven gloves or pot holders when handling steaming bowls, juice collector, etc.
