WATER INLET UPPER OR LOWER STEAMING BOWLS STEP 2 STEP 3 MULTI-TIERED STEAMING English-5 – – USING THE RICE BOWL Place rice or other foods with sauce or liquid in rice bowl. Place rice bowl in the lower steaming bowl and cover with the lid. Plug into wall outlet and set timer. When food is well cooked, unplug unit. TIMER SETTING (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. CARE AND CLEANING • 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. REHEATING: BREADS AND LEFTOVERS 1.
