3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or base unit in water.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug when not in use. Unplug before putting on or taking off parts, and allow to cool before cleaning.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by this appliance manufacturer may cause hazards.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place near hot gas or electric burner or in heated oven.
11. Caution when moving appliance containing hot food, other hot liquids.
12. Lift and open cover carefully to avoid scalding, and allow water to drip into steamer.
13. Do not place the unit directly under cabinets when operating as this product produces large amounts of steam.
14. Some water will remain in the water reservoir after the steamer has turned off; this is normal.
15. Do not use any steam parts in microwave or on heated surface.
16. Fill the reservoir with water before plugging the power cord otherwise the appliance may be damaged.

18. The appliance is not intended for use by children or other persons without assistance or supervision if their physical, sensory or mental capabilities prevent them from using it safely. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
19. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
20. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If extension cord is used: (a)The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. (b)The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
NOTES ON THE CORD
The provided short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Do not use an extension cord with this product. Always plug directly into a wall outlet/receptacle.
NOTES ON THE PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
PLASTICIZER WARNING
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating to the finish of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top. Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken; permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.
ELECTRIC POWER
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.
CAUTION
To prevent electric shock disconnect from the mains before removing cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to rain or moisture. Mains Supply: 120 Volts / 60Hz AC only Connecting it to other power source may damage the unit.

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.

ADDING WATER TO THE RESERVOIR MID-CYCLE
The water reservoir can be safetly re-filled while the machine is operating. Slide out the inlet drawer and add the desired amount of water to prolong your cycle.
Caution: Do not remove the steaming bowls or drip tray during the cooking cycle. The steam that will be emitted is scalding hot.
