For good results, follow these suggestions:
Cooking times provided in this instruction
book are a guide only. Specific foods may
require varied steaming times depending on
size, quality and temperature of food.
Avoid unnecessary removal of the lid and
steamer baskets during cooking, as steam
surrounding the food will escape.
Food should be evenly spread in all three
steamer baskets. A single layer of food
steams fast than multi layers.
Steaming time for food in the upper basket is
slightly longer, so allow an extra few minutes.
If foods with varying cooking times are to be
steamed ,place the food requiring the longest
cooking time in the lower basket. When that
food has partially cooked, carefully remove
the lid using a dry oven mitt or cloth and add
the upper steaming baskets. Replace lid and
continue steaming until all layers are cooked.

For food requiring longer cooking times,
refill the water reservoir to the top up line to
ensure it does not fall below the MIN marking.
The reservoir can be refilled by pouring water
through the easy-to-fill spout to the top up
line.
Foods such as meat or chicken should be
placed in the lower steamer basket to avoid
juices dripping onto foods below.
Do not steam larger pieces of meat or fish,
especially foods with high fat content, as this
may cause the drip tray to overflow.
Remove food once the steaming time has
elapsed, otherwise food will continue to
cook in the accumulated steam of the food
steamer.
