Instructions / Assembly

B. Use of Basket for Steaming

1. Reference Section B, pg. 20 for correct assembly of basket and adjustable lifting hooks for

steaming.

2. Locate the provided steamer support. Place the steamer support onto the center of the pot as

pictured in Figure 1 below before adding water. Do not attempt to insert, remove or adjust the

steamer support when heating cooking liquid or while cooking liquid is still hot after use

[water above 100°F (38°C).]

3. Place water and seasoning mixture as desired into pot. Water level should be just below the top

of the steamer support.

4. Using the two handed lifter and lifting hooks, carefully place the assembled basket onto the

steamer support inside of the pot and cover with the pot lid.

5. Steam as per the recipe directions contained in Section IV - Recipes. When cooking and

removing food wear protective mitts and open the pot carefully since hot steam will escape when

the lid is opened.

6. While cooking, check the water level periodically to make sure all of the water does not boil away.

A pot should never be left above a flame without liquid. Placing an empty pot over a flame will

cause a hole to burn through the metal.

7. When the cooking time has passed, turn off the cooker and remove the food using the two

handed lifter.

C. Use of Long Handle with Basket (Model #2836 only)

1. Reference Section C, pg. 20 for correct assembly of long handle with basket. The long handle

can be used when cooking foods cut into small pieces such as fish filets, french fries and

vegetables. When cooking turkey, chicken or any other heavier foods, the two handed lifter and

adjustable lifting hooks should be used (see Section A on pages 19 and 34 for assembly and

use instructions.)

2. Once cooking is completed, the hanging clip at the base of the handle can be used to attach the

basket to the rim of the pot to allow for drainage and cooling. See Figure 2 below.
