the START/STOP button before 3 seconds is up to start
the steaming cycle. The unit will beep and the Temp/Time
display will read “P:” to signify the unit is preheating.

When the water is fully boiling, the unit will beep and timer
will begin to count down.

CAREFULLY open the lid away from you and use oven mitts
to place the rack in the pot.
9
Check food occasionally during steaming, and remove it

When the countdown timer reaches zero, the unit will beep
3 times and then switch to Stay Warm for up to 12 hours.
Alternatively, you can press the Power button to stop
cooking prior to the end of your set time (the unit will not
switch to Stay Warm in that case).
WARNING:
Place the vent hole on the lid facing away from you.
WARNING:
Use oven mitts when moving the unit, opening the lid, and when inserting or removing food.
NOTE
: Foods or sauces that are high in sugar (like barbecue sauce) or oils with a low smoke point (like olive oil) are prone to burning when exposed
to high heat. To avoid burning these foods when cooking them in Bake mode, limit cook time for high-sugar foods and/or use oils with higher
smoke points (like canola, peanut, sunflower, and safflower oils).
NOTE
: When roasting meats on the steaming/roasting rack in Bake mode, drippings can burn. To avoid burning, add water to the cooking pot so it
reaches just below the rack. As the water will evaporate over the baking time (the higher the heat, the faster the water will evaporate), maintain
the water level so it catches the drippings and doesn’t let them burn.
