HOW TO OPERATE
STEAMER:
a. Add water to the bottom of the cooking pot. In general, 1 cup of
water equals 10 minutes of steam time. (If additional water is
required during the cooking process, cautiously lift the lid
away
from you and add room temperature water.) Water should NOT
touch the food.
b. Place the rack inside the pot and put the food you wish to cook
on the rack.
c. Choose STEAMER. The LED display will flash “0:00”. Use the
adjustment dial to select the time per recipe instructions from 1
minute to 1 hour. The LED display will flash “P:” and the time
selected until the cooker heats up (about 5 minutes). When
the cooker is hot, it beeps 3 times and then starts to countdown.
