• Steam
Use the STEAM function for steaming fresh or frozen vegetables as well as fresh fish and shellfish.
PREPARING VEGETABLES FOR STEAM
• Peel vegetables or scrub well. Keep in mind that hard vegetables such as potatoes and beets hold their shape better
when the peel is left intact.
• Vegetables may be cooked whole or chopped into pieces. The larger the piece, the longer it will take to cook.
• Vegetables with the same cook time may be cooked together.
• Since quick-cooking vegetables like zucchini, asparagus and broccoli may easily be overcooked, it is best to steam
rather than pressure-cook.
BASIC STEAMING
1. Place the removable cooking pot into the base unit. Arrange food in the stainless steel rack included with your
Multi Cooker. Use the rack handles to lower food into the removable cooking pot.
NOTE: You may add more food on top and around rack, but do not exceed the 12 cup line on the cooking pot.
2. Pour 1 to 2 cups water or steaming liquid into the removable cooking pot.
3. Following detailed instructions previously described in the COOKING UNDER PRESSURE section of this instruction
manual, assemble, close and lock lid.
4. Turn the pressure release valve to the PRESSURE position. (See Figure 13.)
5. Plug the cord into a 3-prong 120V AC electrical wall outlet. A series of 4 dashes (- - - - )
will be displayed.
NOTE: If a future cook time is desired, follow steps in the DELAY START section to add a cook time delay.
6. Use the FUNCTION button to select STEAM. The STEAM function light will illuminate and the START light will begin to
flash. The default cook time of 25 minutes (0:25) will be displayed.
