6 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ThermostatThis appliance is equipped with a protective thermostat. If the water reservoir runs out of water during steaming, the appliance will automatically turn OFF. To turn the unit back on, unplug from electrical outlet. Refill the water reservoir with cold water and let the unit cool down for approximately 8- 10 minutes. Once the unit is cool, re-plug in the appliance and set the timer to the desired amount of cooking time.Adding More Water During Cooking• For recipes with long cooking times, set the timer and add more water as needed through the filling spout at the rear of the unit. See illustration below. • When refilling, always turn the timer to the OFF position and unplug the appliance first. • Add sufficient warm water, making sure that you do not overfill past the MAX level on the water level indicator. • Turn the timer back on to the desired amount of time and continue steaming your food. Useful Hints & Tips• You can reduce cooking times by filling the water reservoir with warm water. • Do not pack the steaming baskets too tightly with food. Leave some space for the steam to circulate as much as possible. • The time required to steam may vary depending on the size of the pieces of food, the space left between items, the quality of the food used and individual tastes. For best results, use pieces of food of approximately the same size. If the pieces are of different sizes, layer the pieces putting the smallest pieces on top. • If you are steaming large quantities of food, remove the steamer lid halfway through the steaming process, stir the food and then replace the steamer lid. • You can use the water collected in the drip pan to make soups, sauces, etc. • Do not add salt or any other seasonings to the food until after the steaming process is completed. Seasoning the food before steaming may cause damage to the appliance. • Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood. Always allow to thaw first. • The rice bowl is ideal for steaming other foods such as fruit, puddings, quick breads, etc. Using Two or More Steaming Baskets• Always place the largest pieces or food that takes longer to cook on the lowest steaming basket. • You may place different foods in the steaming baskets, but as condensation will drip from the upper steaming basket to the lower ones, be sure that the flavors complement each other. • If steaming meat or poultry, always place these in the lower steaming basket so that the juices from the meat or seafood does not drip onto other foods.

Place the food that you wish to be steamed in the steaming basket. We recommend that you place the largest pieces of food that take the longest to cook on the lower basket.
