important safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 This steamer must only be used by a responsible adult. Use
and store the steamer out of reach of children.
2 Don't put the steamer in liquid, don't use it in a
bathroom, near water, or outdoors.
3 Don't put frozen meat or poultry in the steamer – defrost
fully before use.
4 Fill the reservoir at least to the MIN mark, but not above
the MAX mark. If you overfill, it may spit boiling water and
you may damage the steamer.
5 Fill the reservoir with boiling water, not cold water,
otherwise the food may not cook properly.
6 Don't touch the hot surfaces of the base unit, lid or baskets.
7 Use oven gloves or a cloth when lifting the lid or baskets,
and lift them only by the handles.
8 Don't reach over the top of the steamer. Steam will escape
from the vents, the baskets, and the base unit.
9 Keep hands, arms, face, etc. clear of steam from the vents,
and when lifting the lid or baskets,
10 Position the steamer on a stable, level, heat resistant
surface, close to a power socket, and out of reach of
children.
11 Route the cable so that it doesn't overhang and can't be
tripped over or caught accidentally.
12 Don't use the steamer near or below curtains, shelves, or
cupboards, as the escaping steam may damage them.
13 Don't line the baskets – you'll block the steam holes.
