6. Press the ON/OFF Button to begin cooking. The red Power
Light will illuminate, indicating that the Food Steamer is in
use; and the Steamer Bowl with the longest cooking time will
start counting down in the Display. Each Steamer Bowl will
start counting down at the appropriate time, so that all of the
Steamer Bowls are finished cooking at the same time.
NOTE: If at any time during steaming the water level falls below
the Minimum Water Fill Line marked next to the Water Window,
the Display will flash and an audible beep will sound. The
Heating Elements will stay ON and the Timer will continue to
countdown. When the Display flashes and the audible beep
sounds faster, the Heating Elements will turn off and the Timer
will stop counting down.
To Refill the Steamer Base: Use a spouted vessel to pour
water through the WATER REFILL Opening until the water level
reaches the Maximum Fill Line on the Water Window. Once the
Steamer Base has been refilled, the Steamer will stop beeping
and will resume steaming for the remaining cooking time.
7. After cooking is complete, three audible beeps will sound and
the Food Steamer will automatically enter into the Keep Warm
Mode. The Display will show like in Figure 4.
NOTE: The default “Keep Warm” time is set for 60 minutes, and
will begin counting up from “0” in the Display. After 60 minutes,
the Steamer will shut off automatically.
