Note:
· Food can be steamed
at any time while rice
cooks. However, for best
results, food should be
steamed towards the
end of the rice cooking
cycle. This will allow
for rice and steamed
food to be ready at
the same time. See the
"Rice/Grain & Water
Measurement Tables"
on page 10.
· Food should not be left
in the cooker on Warm
for more than 12 hours.

Hints:
Smaller foods may
be placed on a heat
resistant dish and then
placed onto the steam
tray. Parchment paper
or aluminum foil may
be used as well. Place
the paper foil in the
center of the steam tray
and ensure it does not
create a seal along the
bottom of the steam
tray. For best results,
it is recommended to
puncture small holes in
the paper/foil.
