OPERATING
TECHNIQUES
Refer to Steaming Guide or Recipes for
recommended cooking times.
Preparing To Cook
Position the base unit where you want
to do your cooking. Choose a flat, dry,
sturdy surface. Make sure that each
individual component fits securely on
top of the part below. Position the large
steaming tray on the base until it fits
securely in place. If you are using the
second steaming tray, place the smaller
tray inside the larger one. The smaller
tray will nest on top of the larger one,
and the handles will be aligned. The
steamer should not be positioned under
wall cabinets when operating. Steam
may damage cabinets.
Note: The larger tray must always be
put on the base first, and the smaller
tray must always sit inside the larger
one. It is not possible to use the small
tray alone. Never attempt to put the
small tray directly onto the base.
Fill water reservoir to desired level with
cold tap water. Place the water
reservoir on the reservoir holder in the
rear of the steamer unit. Place lid on
top of steaming tray. Insert Turbo
Convection Fan onto top of lid. Make
sure the prongs are properly fitted into
the slots. Push down with light
pressure to engage. If the prongs are
not inserted correctly, the unit will not
operate. Plug the cord into the power
outlet.
Using the Rice Bowl
When using the Rice Bowl, liquid such
as water or stock is added to rice in the
Rice Bowl. The Large Steaming Tray
must be placed on the base first; then
the Rice Bowl is placed inside the
steamer tray for use. Measure the
required quantity of rice and liquid in
the Rice Bowl according to the
Steaming Guide.
Cover with Lid. Plug into wall outlet.
Do not operate the appliance without
the large Steaming Tray and lid in
place.
WARNING: During use, never touch
the base, steamer bowls, or lid,
since they get very hot.
When steaming is complete, the
timer will give an audible tone and
automatically shut off the steaming
function.
When you have finished steaming,
unplug from wall socket and allow to
cool completely and clean before
storing.
Setting The Time
• Use the dial on the control panel to
select the desired steaming time.
• Once the desired time has been set,
the steaming process will begin.
Stopping the Steamer
• The steamer will automatically shut off
after the programmed time has
elapsed.
• An audible tone will signal that
steaming is complete.
• If you should desire to stop the
steamer before time has elapsed
completely, simply turn the dial back
to zero.
After Cooking
• Unplug the plug from the power outlet.
• Wait 1 minute after turning off
steamer before removing lid to
avoid steam burns.
• When removing the lid or other
components from your steamer, make
sure to use oven mitts. First remove
the turbo convection fan. Then
remove lid carefully, lifting the side
farthest away from you first, to allow
the steam to escape away from you.
• Lift off the top steaming tray first
(if you used both trays).
• Next remove the bottom (larger)
steaming tray.
• Set the trays down on a flat, heat-
resistant surface, and remove
contents.
• During the cooking cycle, water from
condensation will accumulate in the
steamer base. Allow to cool
completely before emptying and
following cleaning instructions on
page 6.
