Using The Timer
When the TIMED mode is selected, the steamer comes up to idle temperature (lower than the cooking
temperature). The operator then selects the desired time with the timer control. This quickly brings the
steamer up to cooking temperature.
At the end of the timed cycle, the steamer returns to the idle temperature. In CONTINUOUS mode, the
timer can also be used to time cooking. At the end of the timed cycle, an audible alarm will sound but
the steamer remains at cooking temperature instead of returning to idle temperature.
The steamer takes approximately 10 minutes to warm up before cooking can begin. The heater light
turns off when the steamer is ready.

2. Open the door and pour water into the cooking compartment filling it to the water
level mark. (The water level mark is visible on the back wall of the steamer).
3. Select TIMED or CONTINUOUS on the cooking mode switch.
4. Close door and wait approximately 10 minutes for the heater light to go off. This indicates the
