(Step 3) Place vegetable, seafood or other foods without sauce
or liquid into the steaming bowl. Arrange food in center of bowl.
Try not to block steam vents.
FOR DOUBLE TIER STEAMER
Place the largest piece of food with longest cooking time in the
lower steaming bowl. Place lower bowl on top of drip tray and
base. Place the upper steaming bowl on top of the base unit, or
you can place upper steaming bowl directly on top of the lower
steaming bowl.
Cooking times are estimates and depend on the quantity, size,
required degree of cooking and temperature of food. Consider all
the cooking time given in the following guide as suggested times
for double tier steamer.
When handling and removing hot components, use POTHOLDERS

HOW TO USE YOUR FOOD STEAMER
TIMER SETTING (MAXIMUM 60 MINUTES)
Set the timer to the recommended cooking time (experiment with
adjusting steam times to achieve your desired results). The light
turns on and steam will begin to generate. The light will turn off
when cooking is completed and the timer will give a signal bell.
INSTANT STEAM FUNCTION
Included is a removable heating element sleeve.
When this sleeve is placed around the heating
element, unit will automatically produce steam in
35 seconds. Do not operate the steamer without
the heating element sleeve.
PLEASE NOTE: The heating element sleeve may be removed to
allow cleaning of the heating element. On the heating element
sleeve, there is a small indentation (cut) which should face
downward when replaced on the heating element.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR FOOD STEAMER
• Unplug cord from outlet. Before cleaning, allow Steamer to cool.
• Never immerse the Base, Cord or Plug in water.
• Empty the drip tray and the water reservoir.
• Wash lid, steaming bowl and drip tray in hot, soapy water.
Rinse and dry all parts, or wash on top rack of dishwasher.
• Clean reservoir with soapy water then wipe with damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners
• The lower steaming bowl can be stored inside the upper
steaming bowl with the lid on top.
• In hard water areas, the scale may build up on the heating
element. If scale is allowed to accumulate, the steam could turn
off before the food is cooked. So, after 7-10 uses, pour 3 cups
clear vinegar into the water reservoir then fill with water up to
the "MAX" level. Do not place lid, steaming bowl and drip tray
in this procedure.
