How to Use

COOKING WITH ONE STEAMING BOWL
1. Fill the Water Reservoir with cold tap water to the appropriate fill line (LO or
MAX). IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the MAX FILL line. Overfilling will prevent
"Fast Steam" and increase cooking times.
NOTE: For extra flavor, you may add chicken broth or white wine to the water in
the Reservoir. Beer, red wine, oil, extracts (i.e. vanilla) or fruit juices are not
recommended as they may stain or harm the plastic or heater.
2. Hold the Drip Tray and place it into the Base (A).
3. Place herbs or spices in the Flavor Scenter
Screen for added flavor. (B) (See "Flavor Scenter
Tips"). You may use the Drip Tray without adding
herbs to the Flavor Scenter
4. Place food in the Steaming Bowl and cover it so
that the Cover handles line up over the Bowl
handles and the tabs fit properly into the openings.
5. Put the Steaming Bowl onto the Base, plug in the
A
cord and set the Timer for the desired cooking
time, up to 75 minutes. When the time is up, a
bell will ring, the cooking Light will go out, and
the unit will automatically shut off. Some liquid
may remain in the resevoir.
NOTE: If the desired cooking time is less than 15
minutes, first turn the Timer past 15 and then turn it
back to the desired cooking time.
6. When cooking in the Rice Bowl, add rice, herbs,
seasonings and water directly to the Bowl and fill
B
the Water Resevoir to the appropriate line. Put
the Steaming Bowl onto the Base and place the
Rice Bowl with contents into the Steaming Bowl
(C).
7. Use pot holders when removing the cover, or
lifting the Steaming Bowl, Drip Tray, or Rice Bowl
by its handles after steaming. Lift the cover AWAY
from your face and body to avoid escaping steam.
8. The Rice Bowl can also be used for cooking
vegetables or other foods with sauces, poaching
C
chicken or fish in liquids, or reheating foods like
casseroles.
NOTE: Use the Drip Tray whenever the Rice Bowl is not used. It prevents juices
from dripping into the water and bubbling up into the Steaming Bowl. Save these
juices for gravy, sauce, or soup starters.
COOKING WITH 2 STEAMING BOWLS
1. Always use pot holders when using the steamer and avoid escaping steam.
2. Always use the Drip Tray when steaming in both Bowls. Start the food with
the longer cooking time in the bottom Bowl using the water level
recommended for that food. When the time remaining equals the time needed
