T
IMER S ETTING
(Maximum 75 Minutes)
Set the timer to the recommended cooking
time (steaming times can be adjusted as per
your experiment). The light turns on and
steam comes in 35 seconds. The light will
turn off when cooking is completed and the
timer will give a signal bell.
C
ARE AND C LEANING
• Unplug cord from outlet. Before cleaning, allow Steamer to cool.
• Never immerse the Base, Cord or Plug in water.
• Empty the drip tray and the water reservoir. If there is a small amount
of water remaining inside the water box, you can just turn the unit upside
down and water will come out from the water inlet.
• Wash lid, steaming bowl, rice bowl and drip tray in hot, soapy water.
Rinse and dry all parts, or wash on top rack of dishwasher.
• Clean reservoir with soapy water then wipe with damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners
• The lower steaming bowl and the rice bowl can be stored inside the upper
steaming bowl with the lid on top.
• In hard water areas, the scale may build up on the heating element. If scale
is allowed to accumulate, the steam could turn off before the food is cooked.
So, after 7-10 uses, pour 3 cups clear vinegar into the water reservoir then
fill with water up to the HI level. Do not place lid, steaming bowl, rice bowl
and drip tray in this procedure.
• Plug in and set timer to 20 minutes. When the timer rings, unplug cord from
outlet. Allow the unit to cool completely before emptying the water reservoir.
Use cold water to rinse the water reservoir several times.

EHEATING
: B READS AND
L EFTOVERS
1. Do not wrap or cover when reheating breads.
2. For leftovers, reheating times are based on foods at refrigerator temperatures.
3. When reheating leftovers in the rice bowl, always spread leftovers evenly in
RICE BOWL and use aluminum foil to cover.
4. Experiment with your own leftovers.
RICE AND
GRAINS
1. There are many types of rice. Follow specific directions for variety used.
2. Accurately measure rice and water then combine in rice bowl. Pour specified
amount of water in water reservoir. Cover and steam.
3. For softer rice, increase by 1 – 2 tablespoons the water mixed with rice
by the specified amount of water on the chart. For firmer rice decrease
water mixed with rice by the same amount.
4. Check doneness and consistency of rice at minimum time specified
for each type, stirring rice at the same time.
5. When checking/stirring rice, be careful not to drip the condensate into the
rice bowl which would reduce the quality and flavor of the steamed rice.
6. Use only clean water in water reservoir
7. Rice may be seasoned with salt, pepper or butter after steaming.
VEGETABLES
1. Clean the vegetables thoroughly. Cut off stems; trim, peel or chop if necessary.
Smaller pieces steam faster than larger ones.
2. Quantity, quality, freshness and size/uniformity, temperature of frozen food,
may affect steam timing. Adjust water amounts and cooking time as desired.
3. Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming.
4. Some frozen vegetables should be placed in the rice bowl and covered with a
piece of aluminum foil during steaming. The frozen foods should be separated
or stirred after 10 – 12 minutes. Use a long-handled fork or spoon to separate
or stir foods.
FISH AND
S
EAFOOD
1. Before steaming, clean and prepare fresh seafood and fish.
2. Most fish and seafood cook very quickly. Steam in small portions
or in amounts as specified.
3. Clams, oysters and mussels may open at different times. Check the shells
to avoid overcooking.
4. You may steam fish fillets in the RICE BOWL. Serve steamed seafood and
fish plain or use seasoned butter or margarine, lemon or favorite sauces.
5. Adjust steaming times accordingly.
6. You can steam fresh, frozen or fully-thawed seafood and fish in the
RICE BOWL.
