IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions.
❍
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
❍
To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug
❍
or base unit in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
❍
children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
❍
before putting on or taking off parts or cleaning.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after
❍
the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call
the appropriate toll-free number listed on the cover of this manual.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
❍
manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
❍
Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or counter or touch
❍
hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in microwave
❍
or heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing
❍
hot food, water or other hot liquids.
To disconnect, turn any control to OFF (0), then remove plug from
❍
wall outlet.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
❍
To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable container.
❍
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
❍
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
❍
appliance.
POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into 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 attempt to
modify the plug in any way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to
prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no userserviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service
personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be
a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

How to Use

GETTING STARTED
• Remove packing materials and any stickers from the unit.
• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.
• Wash all parts as instructed in the CARE AND CLEANING section of this manual.
• Select a location for the unit. Do not place unit directly under cabinets or too close
to the wall to allow steam to escape without damaging counter space or cabinets.
FILLING WATER RESERVOIR
1. Place the drip tray onto the base of the unit.
Important: To avoid water overflow, the drip tray must be in place before filling the
water reservoir.
2. Pour water into the water-fill inlet up to the Max marking on the water window. Do
not overfill.
Important:
• Water should never go below the Min level on the water window.
• Do not add any salt, pepper, seasoning, herbs, beer, wine or any other liquid to the
water reservoir.
• During the cooking cycle, check the water window. If water level is low, add cold
tap water to the water-fill inlet as needed. This will ensure continuous steaming.
3. Place herbs or spices in Flavor Scenter
Note: You can also use the drip tray without adding herbs to the Flavor Scenter
prefer.
USING STEAMING BASKETS
