Additional Safety Information
Polarization Instructions
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.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. If it is necessary to use
an extension cord, it should be positioned such that it does not drape
over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over and:
The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of this appliance. The electrical rating of this appliance
is 120-volt 60 Hz AC 1,400 watts.

Before Your First Use
Wash all parts according to the Care & Cleaning Section of this manual.
Other Safety Precautions
Do not fill water tank with warm or hot water, salt, pepper, seasonings,
herbs, wine, stock or any liquid other than cold water.
Make sure the water tank is filled up to at least to the 10 minute mark
as indicated on the water tank to prevent damaging the appliance.
Steamer Base, Trays, Steaming Baskets and Lid will become very hot
while cooking. Do not touch them with your hands during operation.
Never turn your rapid steamer on without the drip tray and at least
one basket with lid on the housing.
To reduce risk of electric shock and scalding, cook only with at least
one Basket in place.
To prevent an electric shock as a result from overflowing water, do not
pour water beyond the maximum mark on the water tank.
To avoid burn injury, keep away from the Steam Vent behind the
transparent lid when steamer is in use.
Before turning on the steamer, ensure that the drip tray and basket(s)
are properly assembled onto the housing. This will prevent scalding
injury as a result of the hot steam coming from the Steam Vent.
Ensure that the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds with
the main voltage in your home before plugging in the appliance.

Wolfgang Puck,
owner of the famous
Spago restaurants and
one of the most influential
chef-restauranteurs in
America, is credited with
reviving California’s rich
culinary heritage. His
cooking innovations, a
result of blending fresh
California ingredients
with his classical French
techniques, are enjoyed by
world leaders, stars and fellow chefs alike. He established other
trend-setting restaurants like Postrio in San Francisco, Chinois
on Main in Santa Monica, Trattoria del Lupo, Cut, and his latest
creation, Jai, an Asian fusion restaurant in San Diego. Home chefs
can also share Mr. Puck’s talents through his cookbooks, cutlery,
cookware and, of course, through his appliances!
