• What you’ll need: Inner Pot • Colander • Steam Tray
1. Add the desired amount of water to the inner pot according to the food
being cooked. A convenient steaming guide has been included on
page
12
of this manual for reference.
2. Place food into the steam tray. Place steam tray into the colander.
3. Place the inner pot into the base. Place the colander and steam tray into
the inner pot and cover with the lid.
4. Press the “Steam” button. The “Steam” light will illuminate.
5. Allow to cook for the necessary amount of time (see
page 12
for a
steaming guide). Using protective oven mitts, open the lid and check food
every so often for doneness.
6. Remove food immediately after the cooking process has completed.
Using protective oven mitts, grasp the handles of the colander and
carefully lift it out. Place on a heat-proof surface and carefully remove the
steam tray from the colander.
7. Press the “Warm/Off” button twice to turn off the heat. Do not leave food
in the machine after it has finished cooking. Leaving food in the inner pot
may cause it to overcook.
NOTES ON STEAMING:
• Always keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process.
Opening the lid causes a loss of heat and steam, resulting in a slower
cooking time. If you find it necessary to open the lid, you may want to
add a small amount of water to help restore the cooking time.
• Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will affect cooking times.
• The steaming chart on
page 12
is for reference only. Actual cooking
time may vary.
• No more than 4 cups (uncooked) of rice may be prepared in the rice
cooker when simultaneously steaming (3 cups if using brown rice).
Cooking more than 4 cups of rice (3 cups if using brown rice) will cause
the steam tray to fit improperly into the rice cooker which will affect
cooking results as well as create a risk of injury.
