OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Setting Up

1.Make sure that the Steamer is unplugged. Place the Steamer Base on a flat sturdy surface with adequate clearance.

2.Place the Steam Rings around the Heating Elements so that the end with the small hole faces down.

3.Using a spouted vessel, fill the Steamer Base with water until it reaches the Maximum Fill Line located on the inside of the Steamer Base (approximately 10 cups).

4.Place the Drip Tray onto the Steamer Base, making sure that it is positioned correctly.

5.Fill the Steamer Bowls with desired food (refer to the HINTS & TIPS, STEAMING CHARTS and RECIPES sections of this Owner’s Manual for meal suggestions and guidelines). When placing food into the Steamer Bowls, make certain not to block all of its steam holes; there must be adequate air circulation around the food to ensure even steaming. Food should be cut into uniform-sized pieces and distributed evenly within each Steamer Bowl. After filling, place the appropriate lid on each Steamer Bowl.

WARNING: Do not overfill Steamer Bowls as this will prevent proper steaming. Only fill the Steamer Bowls approximately half full with food.

NOTE: Make sure that all 3 Steamer Bowls are securely positioned on the Steamer Base, even if they are not being used for steaming; and that each Lid is securely positioned with the Steam Vents facing toward the back of the unit.

Using the Cooking Bowl:

Use the Cooking Bowl to prepare white, brown or wild rice or to steam other foods. Simply add the desired ingredients into the Cooking Bowl, place the Cooking Bowl inside the Large/Center Steamer Bowl, then cover with the Lid.
