INSTANT STEAM FUNCTION
Included is a removable heating element sleeve.
Before cooking, when this sleeve is placed around the
heating element, the steam function 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.
USING YOUR STEAMER
Place unit on a flat, sturdy surface with adequate
clearance
(i.e., do not place under wall cabinets).
The steamer unit and components are not for use
in ovens
(microwave, convection or conventional)
or on stovetop.
(Step 1A) Fill water reservoir with clean water only.
Do not put any other liquids or add any salt, pepper,
etc., in the water reservoir. Make sure the water does
not exceed the MAX fill level or go lower than the
MIN fill level as indicated inside the water reservoir.
Then place the drip tray on the base.
(Step 1B)
Or you can fill the water reservoir from the water
inlet. There are MAX and MIN lines on the water
box to indicate the water level. Even while food is
still cooking, if the water box shows that the water
level is low, you can add water accordingly to the
water inlet without moving any of the steaming
bowls.
(Step 2)
NOTE: WATER SHOULD NEVER GO LOWER
THAN LO (MIN) LINE.
TO USE UPPER OR LOWER STEAMING BOWL
(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. You can use lower steaming bowl as an
egg tray by directly placing a total of 12 eggs on it.
FOR DOUBLE TIER OR THREE 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 to avoid burns from hot steam.
USING THE RICE BOWL
Place rice or other foods with sauce or liquid in rice
bowl. Place rice bowl in the lower steaming bowl
and cover with the lid. Plug into wall outlet and set
timer. When food is well cooked, unplug unit.
