VHX SERIES STEAMERS - OPERATION

1.With both timer knobs at the off position, open the compartment doors and observe that no steam has entered the cooking compartments, then close the doors.

2.Set both timer knobs at 2 minutes. The ready lights will go off, the cooking lights will come on, and steam will begin to enter the compartments.

3.After one minute, open each door and observe that steam has ceased to enter each compartment, cooking lights go back to ready, and one minute is remaining on each cook timer.
