HOW TO USE YOUR STEAMER & RICE COOKER
?Place the unit on a flat, sturdy surface with adequate clearance (i.e., do not place under wall cabinets or on
carpeting or other soft surfaces). The steamer and components are not for use in convection or conventional
ovens, microwaves, or on a stovetop.
?Place the heating element cover in its proper position over the heating element.
?Fill the water reservoir with clean, cold water only. Pour the water directly into the water tank only up to the
maximum fill. Do not overfill. NOTE: do not use seasoning or any other liquid in the water tank. Use of
liquids such as beer, red wine, oil and juice can corrode the unit and cause damage.
?When adding water while cooking, you do not need to remove steaming bowls; simply use the exterior water fill
areas on either side of the base.
?Place the juice collector on the tank firmly in place.
?Use fresh cold water with each use and check that the water is up to, but not past the maximum fill level.
?While food is cooking, you can check the water level indicator window and carefully add additional water using
the water inlet without moving any of the steaming bowls.
?Do not let the water go below the “Min” level in the water level indicator window.
?If setting the timer for less than 15 minutes, be sure to turn the knob PAST 15 minutes then back to your desired
lower time.
