removed. Keep the steamer out of children’s reach.

the steam bowl. Do not overfill the steam bowl, thereby blocking the holes in the lid (the steam must be
able to circulate and escape freely.)

In most cases, the water poured into the reservoir will be sufficient to cook the food. If necessary due to
personal taste or if some foods require a longer cooking time, water may be added to the reservoir and the
vaporization process continued by following the instructions.

Once cooking is complete, unplug the cooker. Remove the steam bowl carefully. Gently lift off the lid to
avoid burning yourself (steam can cause burns).
