SET UP & USE
STEAM DIRECTIONS
To steam vegetables, dumplings and
other foods, use the steamer basket
included with your rice cooker.
1. Prepare the food to be steamed
and place into the steamer basket.
Please note the larger the pieces
or vegetables are, the longer it will
take to cook.
2. Fill the rice bowl with a sufficient
amount of water. You should fill the
bowl according to how long you
will be using the Steam function. If
you are using the Steam cycle for a
short amount of time, use less water
(never less than 1 cup/250 mL under
CUPS or 1.5 under SCOOPS). If you
are using a longer amount of steam
time, use more water (never more
than 6 scoops/4 cups). Filling over
the 6 marking under "SCOOPS"
(4 under "CUPS") will result in the
possibility of overflowing while in
the steam cycle. The amount of
water used to fill the rice bowl will
affect the cooking time; it is advised
you experiment by using the Steam
setting with different amounts of
water before you find an amount
that suits your personal preference.
3. Place the steam basket into the rice
bowl. The steam basket will sit near
the top of the rice bowl, with the
water underneath.
4. Close rice cooker lid. The lid should
"click" into place.
5. Plug cord into a 120V AC 60Hz only
outlet.
6. Press the STEAM button. The
word STEAM should appear in
the top right of the screen. Press
the button to start the cooking
process and the steam indicator
light should engage. The
stop flashing and the time will begin
