HOW TO USE
1. Place Steamer on a level surface close to a 120 volt A.C. outlet. Do not place
under wall cabinets.
2. Fill the Water Reservoir with the maximum amount of cold water. Any excess
water can be emptied out at the end of the steaming cycle. If more than
60 minutes is required for steaming and water is not visible through the
Water Level Window you can add water by opening the Water Refill Drawer
during the steaming cycle and pour in enough water to reach up to the
maximum mark on the window.
NOTE: The maximum amount of water is 1.4 litres.This is enough water for
approximately, 75 – 80 minutes of steaming.
IMPORTANT: Do not add salt, pepper, seasonings, etc. or liquids other than
water to the Base.
3. Place the Instant Steam Ring over the Heating Element so that the notch
is at the bottom.
4. Place the Drip Tray on top of the Base.
5. Place the Steaming Bowl(s) on the Drip Tray.The Steaming Bowls can be
used in three different ways:
Single level (one bowl): Place food in either the Small or Large Steaming
Bowl. Place on the Drip Tray. Cover.
Single level (both bowls) If steaming larger items (eg. Corn on the cob),
place the Small Steaming Bowl on the Drip Tray. Remove the Partition from
the Large Steaming Bowl and place Bowl on top of the Small Steaming
Bowl. Place food in Bowl. Cover.
Multiple level: Place the items that need the longest steaming time in the
Small Steaming Bowl and place on the Drip Tray. Place the Large Steaming
Bowl on top of the smaller bowl. Place food in Large Steaming Bowl. Cover.
NOTE: To remove the Partition, place the Steaming Bowl upside down on a
flat surface. Push the side (right or left of the Partition tab) of the Steaming
Bowl out slightly and the Partition will fall out.

NOTE: (a) The Timer will work even if the unit is not plugged in. Ensure that
the Indicator Light is on once Timer is operating. (b) If the desired cooking
time is less than 10 minutes, turn the Timer past the 10 minute mark then
turn it back to the desired time.
8. When time has expired the Timer will ring once and the Steamer will shut
off automatically. To avoid overcooking, remove Steamer Bowl(s) immediately using a potholder or oven mitts.
9. Unplug unit and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
HELPFUL HINTS
1. Steam cooking times will vary depending on the size and amount of food
being cooked and the desired degree of doneness. Use the Steaming
Charts as a guide but experiment with this healthy method of cooking
by varying the cooking times. This will help you to obtain the best results
to suit your taste.
2. Smaller pieces of food steam cook faster than larger pieces; a single layer
steams faster than several layers and foods of uniform size will steam
more evenly.
3. Foods with longer steaming times should be placed on the lower level in
the small Steaming Basket. Once these foods are partially cooked, remove
the Cover and add the Large Steaming Bowl.
4.
Arrange food with spaces between pieces to allow for maximum steam flow.
5. When steaming large quantities of food, stir halfway through cooking.
6. Juices from meat or poultry should not drip onto other foods. Never place
meat or poultry in the upper Steaming Bowl above other foods.
7. Do not steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood.
