Please check that the voltage indicated on the bottom of the appliance is in accordance with the main voltage in your home. Make sure the Knob (9) is in the OFF position before plugging in the Cooking Steamer. See FIGURE 1 on page 5 and the Assembly Drawing on page 9. Depending on the food you are steaming, refer to the cooking instructions on the following page and the markings on the inside of the Body (3) before placing water in the Steamer. Pour the required amount of cold water into the Body (3) of the Cooking Steamer. Do not use wine, meat of vegetable stock, or any other fluid. Place the food in the Steam Bowl (2). Place the plastic Lid (1) securely on top of the Bowl. Do not add herbs or spices before the end of cooking. Be sure the Lid and handles on the Steam Bowl are perfectly in line. Do not overfill the Steam Bowl (2). The steam must be able to circulate and escape freely. Place the Steam Bowl (2) with Lid (1) on top of the Body (2) and gently turn it to the left and right, to seat it properly. Plug in the Power Cord (16). The indicator Light (5) will light up. Do not plug in the unit until you are ready to cook. The food will spoil if it sits in the Cooker Steamer too long before you cook it. Turn the Knob (9) and set the desired time on the Dial (8). (See Cooking Guide on page 7). You may add water to the reservoir if some foods, according to personal taste, require a longer cooking time. Once cooking time is completed, unplug the Steamer. Carefully remove the Steam Bowl (2). Sit it on a level, heat-treated surface. With a hot pad holder (not provided), gently remove the Lid (1), tilting it away from you to avoid being burned by steam escaping from the Steamer. To serve the food, turn the Lid (1) over and slide it under the Steam Bowl (2). This will act as an elevated stand to prevent damaging the surface below. Caution: The Cooking Steamer emits steam capable of causing burns. When handling the Body (3), always use oven mittens (not provided). After cooling, pour out any remaining water and dry the Body (3) thoroughly with a soft towel. After serving the food, clean all remaining food from the Steam Bowl (2) and submerge the Bowl and Lid (1) in hot, soapy water. Wash and rinse with hot water. Dry thoroughly and store with the Body (3). OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued) CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS Before cleaning, remove the plug from the wall socket. Allow the Cooking Steamer to cool down.
