HOW TO OPERATE
STEAMING
1. Plug in the oven. Set temperature to 450 °F and set the heater to UPPER.
2. Remove the lid.
3. Place the food in a shallow dish, on a rack, or on aluminum foil on the
griddle top. Add water to cover the bottom of the griddle top (not
exceeding half of the griddle depth).
Note:
You do not want water to boil over, but you also do not want the
griddle top to boil dry - so keep an eye on this as you steam.
4. Cover the food and water with the lid. Set the timer and cook per your
recipe instructions or use the chart below.
5. When food is done, CAREFULLY remove the lid and food. Turn the heater
and time controls to OFF position. Unplug the oven. Let cool completely
before emptying remaining water from the griddle top.
