IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions.
☐ Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
☐ To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or base unit in water or other liquid.
☐ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
☐ Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts or cleaning.
☐ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number listed on the cover of this manual.
☐ The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
☐ Do not use outdoors.
☐ Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
☐ Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in microwave or heated oven.
☐ Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot food, water, or other hot liquids.
☐ To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
☐ Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

GETTING STARTED

• Remove packing materials and any stickers from the unit.
• Wash all parts as instructed in Care and Cleaning.
• Select a location for the unit. Do not place unit directly under cabinets or too close to the wall to allow steam to escape without damaging counter space or cabinets.

USING THE STEAMING BASKET

Filling Water Reservoir

1. Place the drip tray into the base of the unit (A).

Important: To avoid water overflow, the drip tray must be in place before filling the water reservoir.

1. Pour water into the water-fill inlet (B) up to the MAX marking on the water window. Do not overfill.

Important:

• Water should never go below the MIN level on the water window.
• Do not add any salt, pepper, seasoning, herbs, beer, wine or any other liquid to the water reservoir.
• During the cooking cycle, check the water window. If water level is low, add cold tap water to the water-fill inlet as needed. This will ensure continuous steaming.
• Place herbs or spices in Flavor Scenter * screen for added flavor (C). (See Flavor Scenter® Tips).

Note: You can also use the drip tray without adding herbs to the Flavor Scenter® if you prefer.

Tips for Using the Flavor Scenter® Screen

• To prevent small herbs or ground spices from falling through the screen, rinse or wet the screen before adding seasonings.
- If using herbs, use whole or coarsely chop the leaves.
4. Place food in the steaming basket. See Cooking Chart on page 6 and 7 for Helpful Tips. You can also cook up to 6 eggs by inserting each egg into the indentation of the steam basket (D).

1. Cover the steaming basket so that the lid handles line up over the basket handles. Make sure the lid tabs fit properly into the steaming basket openings (E).

1. Place the steaming basket onto the drip tray, plug the power cord into wall outlet and set the Timer for the desired cooking time, up to 75 minutes (F); see Cooking Chart on page 6 and 7 for recommended times. Power indicator light illuminates. When the time is up, a bell rings, the power indicator light goes out and the unit automatically shuts off.
2. When cooking is finished, unplug the unit and remove food immediately to avoid over-cooking.

1. Use the lid inverted as a tray for the steam basket (G). CAUTION: Use pot holders when removing the lid or lifting the steaming basket, drip tray or rice bowl. Lift the lid away from your face and body to avoid escaping steam.

USING THE RICE BOWL

When cooking in the rice bowl, add rice, herbs, seasonings and water directly into the rice bowl.

1. Place the steaming basket onto the drip tray and place the rice bowl with contents into the steaming basket (H). Cover steaming basket with the lid.
2. Plug cord into wall outlet and set the timer to desired cooking time, up to 75 minutes; see Cooking Chart on page 6 for recommended times.
3. When cooking is finished, unplug the unit and remove the rice bowl immediately to avoid over-cooking.
4. Use the lid inverted as a tray for the steam basket.

CAUTION: Use pot holders when removing the lid or lifting the steaming basket, drip tray or rice bowl. Lift the lid away from your face and body to avoid escaping steam.

COOKING CHART
