BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Carefully unpack the 2-tier food steamer and remove all packing materials.
2. Wash the lid, rice bowl, the upper and lower steaming bowls, and the drip tray
in warm soapy water or on the top rack of the dishwasher.
3. Wipe the inside of the reservoir and heating element with a damp cloth.
4. To assemble the steamer:
a) Hold the drip tray by the handles and place it into the base.
b) For single layer steaming, align the steaming bowl marked #1 onto the drip tray
and place the clear lid on top.
c) For steaming with both layers, the steaming bowl marked #2 will fit securely onto
the steaming bowl #1.
NOTE: The lid and rice bowl provided will work for both layers.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the unit on a flat, sturdy surface with adequate clearance.
CAUTION: Do not place the unit under wall cabinets.
2. Fill the water reservoir with cold tap water to the appropriate fill line (see figure 2).
Do not exceed the MAX line as overfilling will take longer to produce steam and
prolong cooking time.
3. Place the food in the steaming bowl(s) and place the cover on the top layer.
4. Place the steaming bowl onto the base, plug the power cord into the wall outlet
and set the timer to the desire cooking time (max 60 minutes).
5. When the time expires, a signal bell will be heard and the power indicator light
will turn off.
6. Use pot holders when handling the steaming bowl, drip tray or rice bowl during
or after the cooking process.
NOTE: Meat or fish should always be placed in the lower steaming bowl to avoid juices
dripping on to the lower layer.
TIPS: For extra flavor, add chicken broth or white wine to the water in the reservoir.
Beer, red wine, oil, extracts or fruit juices are not recommended as they may stain or
damage the heater.
TIPS: You can also add herbs and spices to flavor heathy foods without adding salt.
Try some suggested flavors in the steaming guide.
IMPORTANT: Arrange food at the center of the bowl and try not to block the
steam vents.
IMPORTANT: the steamer unit and components are not for use in microwave
or conventional ovens, or on the stove top.
