or water reservoir in water or any other liquid.
n To prevent work surfaces from becoming excessively wet,
place a drip mat or towel on the work surface underneath the
unit to absorb the water.
n Do not use an extension cord with this steamer. However, if
one is used, it must have a rating equal to or exceeding the
rating of this appliance.

polarized outlet only one way, as a safety feature. Reverse
the plug if the plug does not fit fully in the outlet. Contact a
qualified electrician if it still does not fit. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.

Hints and Tips
n Read all the instructions and save for future reference.
n The water level should be topped off if it falls too low.
n The lid should be kept on at all times during steaming.
n To ensure even cooking, single items of food should be
the same thickness. Thicker foods may take longer to
cook.
n Arrange the food in a single layer. Be sure the food
doesn’t touch the sides of the unit.
n Any of the levels can be used for cooking rice, pasta,
fruit, and eggs.
n Foods that require gentle steaming or shorter cooking
times should be placed on the top level.
n Food that requires longer cooking time should be
placed on the lower rack.
n Poultry or fish can be placed in any of the steaming
baskets. However, juices may drip and transfer flavors
to the lower levels of food. Wrap fish in foil or
parchment paper to retain the juices.
n Protect lower levels of delicate foods from condensation
drips by laying a sheet of parchment paper on the
above surface.
