IMPORTANT:
• Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface.
• Make sure the appliance and supply cord are out
of children’s reach.
• Make sure to place the nutrient collector/
measuring cup (17) over the motor drive (16) to
catch the nutrients that release when the food
is steaming. This also protects the motor drive
(16) from spills.
1. Before steaming, wash foods thoroughly. For best
results, cut fruits, vegetables and meats into
approximately 1-inch cubes.
2. Fill each tri-level steam tray (26) with chopped
foods.
• If steaming a variety of foods at one time,
place meats and fish in the lower trays and
fruits and vegetables in the upper trays.
3. Depending on the type of food to be steamed, fill
the water reservoir (13) to the suggested water
level 1 2 3 (See chart on page 14).
4. Lock the water reservoir lid (14) into place on the
water reservoir (15) by twisting the double arrow
icon clockwise until the blend/warming icon
is aligned with the arrow at the base.
5. Place the nutrient collector/measuring cup (17)
over the motor drive (16) to catch the nutrients
that release when the food is steaming.
6. Lock steam/blend lid (2) into place over the motor
drive by twisting the arrow from unlocked to
locked (see “Attaching and Removing Steam/
Blend Screen“ instructions).
7. Firmly place the tri-level steam trays (26) filled
with food on top of the steam / blend lid (2),
stacking them on top of each other.
8. Cover with the tri-level steam trays lid (27).
9. Plug the power supply cord into an electrical
outlet and press the on/off button (10).
• A 1-second beep and illuminated power light
will turn on, indicate the Oster
TM
Baby
Nutricenter is on.
10. Press the steam button (11) .
• A 1-second beep and illuminated steam light
(12), indicate STEAMING has begun.
WARNING: During STEAMING, steam
releases through the steam outlet in the steam/
blend lid. Keep clear of the steam to avoid
injury.
• STEAMING is complete when a 3 second beep
is sounded and the steam light turns off. Time
varies depending on food and water level.
• The Oster
TM
Baby Nutricenter system is now
in stand-by mode and the heating element
is off.
11. Press on/off button (10).
• The power light turns off, indicating the
Oster
TM
Baby Nutricenter system is off.
12. Serve as finger food or prepare baby food or
purees using the processor (See “Processing with
the Steam/Blend Container”).
WARNING: Steam/blend container is hot after
STEAMING. Allow sufficient time for the steam/
blend container to cool or use oven mitts to
handle immediately.
WARNING: Test the temperature of the food
before feeding. If food is not cooked, then cook
for another STEAMING cycle. Test again before
serving.
