SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

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.

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.

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.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified

personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

How to Use

This appliance is for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

• Remove packing materials and any stickers from the unit.

• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.

• Wash all parts as instructed in the CARE AND CLEANING section of this manual.

• 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.

FILLING WATER RESERVOIR

1. Place the drip tray onto the base of the unit.

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

water reservoir.

2. Pour water into the water-fill inlet 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.

3. Place herbs or spices in Flavor Scenter

screen.

Note: You can also use the drip tray without adding herbs to the Flavor Scenter

if you

prefer.

USING STEAMING BASKETS

You can arrange your steaming baskets according to the amount of food you are

cooking.

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 with One Steaming Basket

1. Place either basket onto the drip tray.

2. Place food in the steaming basket. You can also cook up to 6 eggs by inserting an

egg into each indentation on built-in egg holders.

3. Cover the steaming basket with the lid, making sure it fits securely in place.

Follow steps 4-6 on page 6.

Cooking with Two Steaming Baskets

1. Fill both baskets with desired foods. Always place more solid foods or foods that

take longer to cook in lower basket.

2. Place lower basket onto drip tray. Place upper basket on top of lower basket.

3. 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.

4. Plug the power cord into wall outlet and set the timer for the desired cooking time,

up to 75 minutes. Power indicator light will illuminate. When the time is up, a bell

rings, the power indicator light goes out and the unit automatically shuts off.

5. When cooking is finished, unplug the unit and remove food immediately to avoid

over-cooking.

6. Use inverted lid to hold hot steaming 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.
