STEAMING
The STEAM function is perfect for gently steaming fish and vegetables. It is pre-
programmed to use the HIGH pressure cooking setting. When steaming, use the
Steaming Rack.
Capacity: When the Multi-Cooker is used with the STEAM function, the maximum
capacity of liquid should be just under the rack wires, so that the liquid is not touching the
food.
Note: The unit cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 8oz of liquid is
used inside the removable Cooking Pot.
USING THE STEAM FUNCTION
Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The
Multi-Cooker will beep, and the Display Screen will illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
1. Add 8oz of water to the bottom of the removable Cooking Pot and insert the cooking
rack. Ensure water is just under the wires of the rack so that food is not touching
water.
2. Place your food on the cooking rack.
3. Place the Lid on and lock by rotating counterclockwise to the LOCKED position.
