SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. ? This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. ? Make sure the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on the appliance.
USING YOUR 3 TIER FOOD STEAMER & RICE COOKER BEFORE FIRST USE ? Make sure the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on the appliance. This appliance is for 120 –Volt AC electrical outlet only. ? Remove any bags, labels or stickers from the appliance. (but never remove the rating label and caution label) ? Clean the water reservoir/base with a damp soft cloth. ? Wash all of the removable parts using a sponge, warm water and mild dish detergent. Rinse and dry carefully.
COOKING TO USE ONE STEAMING BOWL ? Place the Large or Small steaming bowl on the juice tray. ? Clean and prepare your food. ? Place vegetables, seafood or other food without sauce or liquid into the steaming bowl. Arrange food in the center of the bowl. Do not completely cover all holes in the base of the steaming bowl with food to avoid blocking steam vents. If necessary, use a second bowl to allow for adequate steaming. ? Both steaming bowls can be used for eggs.
USING REMOVABLE STEAM BOWL BASES – EGG HOLDERS ? Each steam bowl is fitted with a removable base grid which when removed increases the volume of cooking area and can be used to cook large food items. ? The removable base grids snap back into place easily when you are finished cooking. ? When snapped into position, they may be used for cooking eggs. USING THE RICE BOWL ? Place rice or other foods with sauce or liquid in the rice bowl. Place the rice bowl in the lowest steaming bowl and cover.
COOKING SEAFOOD Steaming times listed in the chart below are approximate. Most fish and seafood cook very quickly. ? Steam in small portions or in amounts specified. ? Clams, Mussels, and Oysters may open at different times; check the shells to avoid overcooking. ? Adjust steaming times accordingly.
COOKING VEGETABLES Clean the vegetables thoroughly. Cut off stems; trim, peel or chop if necessary. Smaller pieces will steam faster than larger pieces. For softer vegetable texture, increase steaming time, for firmer texture, decrease steaming time according to taste. ? Quantity, quality, freshness, size and consistent temperature of frozen food may affect steam timing. Adjust water amount and cooking time as desired. ? Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming.
COOKING MEAT OR POULTRY Prepare meat, by trimming and removing bones. Smaller pieces will steam faster than larger pieces. For more well-done results, increase steaming time; for less well-done results, decrease steaming time according to taste. Check internal meat or poultry temperature for doneness with a Taylor thermometer. ? Quantity and consistent size of pieces may affect steam timing. Adjust water amount and cooking time as desired.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE After each use and before cleaning, unplug the appliance from outlet and allow the steamer to cool. Do not attempt to clean the unit while still hot. ? CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE UNIT, CORD OR PLUG IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID ? Once cooled, empty the juice collector and the water tank.
