Make sure the Baskets are securely sitting in position on top of
each other and also on top the Steamer Base. Check that the
Lid is properly in position.
15. Turn the Timer Control Dial the desired cooking time of the
remaining food and continue steaming until all food is cooked
to your satisfaction.
16. If, after checking, you are ready to serve the steamed food,
turn the Timer Control Dial to the OFF (O) position. The Power
Indicator Light will turn off.
17. Unplug and allow to cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: Never place the FIRST (1) Steamer Basket directly
onto the Steamer Base without the Drip Tray in proper posi-
tion.
CAUTION: NEVER USE EITHER THE SECOND (2) Steamer Basket
or the THIRD (3) Steamer Basket without the FIRST (1)
Steamer Basket in the bottom position.
Suggestion:
Place an outstretched kitchen towel, large heat-resistant
tray, or protective mat onto the counter next to the Food
Steamer. This will become a useful surface to place Steamer
Baskets when checking for doneness or removing Baskets from
the stack.
TO REFILL THE STEAMER BASE WITH WATER DURING
STEAMING
1. When steaming foods for long periods of time (more than
approximately 1 hour), it will be necessary to replenish the
water in the Steamer Base.
WARNING: When cooking foods for more than 1 hour, check the
Water Level Lens periodically. Since the Food Steamer cannot
operate properly when the water level is too low, you must
refill while steaming.
2. Using a spouted vessel, add water through either Water Fill
Hole to refill the Steamer Base during steaming. Make sure
that the water reaches the MAX water line. Add more water
as necessary.
Note: When steaming for extended periods of time, it may be
necessary to remove water from the Drip Tray.
3. Using protective oven mitts, remove Basket(s) and Lid. Using a
heat-resistant long handled ladle or spoon, remove the majority
of the water from the Drip Tray, making sure that the water level
always remains close to the MAX water line. Replace the
Basket(s) with Lid and continue cooking.
