steam source into operation and proceed as follows:
1. Close cooking compartment door.
2. Set 60-Minute Timer Dial (1) to “1-minute” setting.

er setting plus a short delay period needed
to activate a thermostatic switch included in
the controls.
3. Turn off buzzer, which sounds to indicate cooking is
complete, by setting the Timer Dial (1) to OFF posi-
tion.
