Hints:
· This steamer’s unique
design allows it to
quickly begin steaming
foods. Steaming will
begin roughly 1 minute
after the timer is set.
For suggested steaming
times, see the
Steaming
Guide
on page
8
.
When steaming smaller
food or foods with
sauces, place in a heat-
safe container before
placing on steam tray
base.
The dual steam tray
bases are great for
steaming two foods
with different cooking
times. Begin by
steaming the food with
the longer cook time
on the lower steam
tray base. Then add
the upper steam tray
base at the appropriate
time for it to cook. Both
foods should be ready
to serve once the food
steamer switches off.

To Steam
1. With the heating element cover in place, fill the
water tank with water. Water should be filled
between the
MIN
and
MAX
lines shown in the
water level window.
2. Place the drip tray securely into the base.
3. Place the food to be steamed on to one or both
of the steam trays, depending on the amount
being steamed.
4. Place the steam tray securely on top of the drip
tray. If using both upper and lower steam trays,
stack the second securely on top of the first.
5. Place the lid securely on the top steam tray.
6. Plug the food steamer into an available outlet.
7. Turn the time control dial to the needed
steaming time.
8. The indicator light will illuminate and steaming
will begin.
9. When the selected time has elapsed, the
steamer will “ding” and stop steaming.
10. Using caution to avoid escaping steam, remove
the lid by the handle.
11. Check food for doneness. If fully cooked,
remove for serving.
12. Unplug the steamer when not in use. Allow to
cool and follow instructions in
To Clean
on
page 6.
Caution:
Do not steam food
without the heating
element cover in place.
The heating element
cover allows for your
food steamer to quickly
and efficiently create
steam.
