This appliance has a short supply cord to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Loqger extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fully fit into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Useful Hints:
*For high altitude cooking, steaming times may need to be increased. Exact times vary by location.
*Steaming times stated in the charts and recipes are only a guide. Times may vary depending on the size of food pieces, spacing of the food in the Steamer Bowl, freshness of food, and personal preference. As you become familiar with the Steamer, adjust cooking times.
*A single layer of food steams faster than several layers. Therefore, the cooking time for a larger quantity of food will be increased. For example, 2 Ibs. of broccoli florets will need longer to steam than 1 lb.
*For best results, be sure pieces of food are similar in size. If pieces vary in size and layering is required, place smaller pieces on top.
*Do not crowd food in the Steaming Bowl or Rice Bowl. Arrange the food with spaces between pieces to allow for maximum steam flow.
*When steaming large quantities of food, remove lid about halfway through the *‘steaming time and stir using a long handled utensil, protecting your hands from the
steam with oven mitts.
*Do not add salt and seasoning to the Steaming Bowl until after cooking. This is to avoid possible damage to the heating element located in the Water Reservoir.
*Save liquid in Drip Tray to use in soups;sauces, and gravies.
*Never steam meat, poultry or seafood from frozen. Always thaw completely first.
*All the times stated in the “Steaming Charts and Recipes” are based on the use of cold water in the Water Reservoir.
*The Rice Bowl is an ideal container for steaming other foods such as fruit, vegetables, puddings, quick breads, cakes, etc. For best results, cook quick breads and cakes in a loaf pan.
