OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)  
2.  
Be sure all parts are in good working condition. 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.  
3.  
4.  
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 wa-  
ter 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.  
5.  
6.  
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.  
7.  
8.  
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 per-  
sonal 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.  
9.  
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.  
10.  
11.  
CAUTION: The Cooking Steamer emits steam capable of causing burns.  
When handling the Body (3), always use oven mittens (not provided). After cool-  
ing, 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).
