USEFUL HINTS
For high altitude cooking, steaming
times may need to be increased.
Steaming times stated in the Steaming
Guide and Recipes are only to be used
as a guide. Times may vary depending
on the size of pieces, spacing and
placement in the bowl, and personal
preference. As you become more
familiar with the steamer, adjust
cooking times accordingly.
A single layer of food steams faster
than several layers. For larger
quantities of food, the cooking time
must be increased.
For best results, foods should be similar
in size.
Meat, poultry and seafood must be
thawed completely before steaming.
Always use cold water in the
Water Reservoir.
Never add seasonings, broth or herbs
to the Water Reservoir. Water only
must be used in the Water Reservoir.
Meat, poultry and seafood should not
be touching the sides of the steamer
trays – air must be able to circulate
completely for proper cooking.
When using the rice bowl, wipe off the
bottom after removing from steamer to
avoid dripping hot accumulated water on
counter or floor.

When using recipes, follow quantities as
closely as possible for best results.
CLEANING AND
STORAGE
Always unplug the steamer from
electrical outlet before cleaning.
Before first use and after each use,
clean each part thoroughly. Wash all
parts (except Steamer Base and Turbo
Convection Fan) in warm soapy water;
rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not use chlorine bleach or abrasive
cleaners on any part of the steamer.
For convenience, the following parts
are top rack dishwasher safe:
• Large Steaming Tray
• Second Steaming Tray
• Rice Bowl
• Lid
Never put Turbo Convection Fan or
Steamer Base in Dishwasher and never
immerse Turbo Convection Fan or
Steamer Base in water. These parts
may be wiped with a damp cloth to
remove residue.
Store your steamer in a dry place, out
of the reach of children.
DESCALING THE
STEAMER
After several months of use, chemical
deposits may build up on the heating
element of your steamer. This process
is normal. Therefore, you should
descale regularly to maintain maximum
steam production and extend the life of
your steamer.
To descale the steamer, fill the Water
Reservoir to the maximum level with
white vinegar (not brown vinegar). Plug
into a socket. Bowl, lid and Water
Reservoir should be in place.
Set timer for 25 minutes and
begin steaming.
When the timer sounds, unplug and
allow to cool completely before pouring
out vinegar.
Rinse the Water Reservoir several
times with fresh, cold water.
