KITCHENAID™ Steamer Vessel
Use the KITCHENAID™ Steamer Vessel with the Steam Cook
feature to steam foods.
■ The steamer vessel will become hot. Always use oven mitts
or pot holders when handling.
■ Steamer vessel is designed to be used only in the microwave
oven. To avoid damaging steamer vessel, do not use in a
convectional- or combination-type oven, or any other
convection function, crisp or on electric or gas burners.
■ Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum foil when covering the
food.
■ Always place the steamer on the glass turntable. Check that
the turntable turns freely before starting the oven.
■ Do not remove lid while the bowl is inside the oven, as the
rush of steam will disrupt the sensor settings.
■ To avoid scratching, use plastic utensils.
■ Do not overfill with water. See steam chart in the “Steam
Cooking” section for the amount of water recommended.
Lid: Always use the lid when steaming. Place directly over the
insert and base or just the base.
Insert: Use when steam cooking to keep foods such as fish and
vegetables out of the water. Place insert with food directly over
the base. Do not use when simmering.
Base: For steam cooking, place water in base. For simmering
foods such as rice, potatoes, pasta and vegetables, place food
and water/liquid in base.
See “Assistance or Service” section to order replacements. See
“General Cleaning” section for instructions on cleaning.
