OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only. WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or table- top where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. 840182400 ENnv03.qxd:Layout 1 6/17/09 3:42 PM Page 23 Lid Control Panel Water Reservoir Fill Marks Heating Element Rice Bowl Upper Steam Bowl (with removable divider) Lower Steam Bowl Drip Tray NOTE: Both the upper and lower steam bowls may be used as an egg tray.

Unit does not shut off after steaming. Food not cooked uniformly. Food done in bottom tray, but not done in top tray.

PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

• Drip tray installed incorrectly. Reorient the drip tray by looking for the marking on the handle of the drip tray that reads “RIGHT” and place tray properly onto base.

• Check to ensure unit is plugged in.

• Adjust to a shorter or longer delay time.

• Removable collar not properly installed in water reservoir. Readjust removable collar to fit around heating element.

• Heating element has accumulated deposits. Clean by putting 5 Tbsp. white vinegar into water reservoir; then fill water reservoir with tap water to the MIN line. Turn unit on and set timer for 5 minutes. Allow liquid to cool and then wash/dry all pieces thoroughly.

• Water level is too low, lid not placed on steam bowl, or removable collar not properly installed. Ensure only one steaming bowl is used and/or readjust removable collar to fit properly around heating element. Ensure lid is placed securely on steam bowl.

• Not enough water in reservoir. Add water to reservoir so it is between MIN/MAX lines.

• Unit has switched to Keep Warm mode. Turn steamer off if desired, or allow unit to keep food warm until ready to eat.

• Steaming bowl overcrowded with food. Leave enough space for adequate steam flow.

• Food cooks faster in bottom tray. Always place the longer cooking food items in lower tray. Or, place one tray (with the longer cooking food) onto the base and let steam first; then later add the second tray with the shorter cooking food. Try not to block steam holes. 840182400 ENnv03.qxd:Layout 1 6/17/09 3:42 PM Page 9This warranty applies to products purchased in the U.S. and Canada.
