Attach the stainless steel Basket Trays to Basket 2 and Basket 3, making sure that the tabs on the edges of the Basket Trays snap into the notches on the bottom of each Basket. 4. Place foods in the correct Baskets (see Steaming Chart on page 15 for instructions on which Baskets are best for certain foods and cooking times). 12

13 USING YOUR INSTANT STEAMER WARNING: Hot steam! Never place your hands or arms over the Steam Vent while the appliance is in use. Scalding may occur if the Lid is removed during steaming.

14 USING YOUR INSTANT STEAMER STEAMING TIPS Never operate the Instant Steamer without all of the Baskets, Basket Trays, or the Lid. All parts must be properly assembled before use. Important Note: The Water Tank has a 1 L capacity. When the Tank is completely filled, the Steamer can create steam continuously for approximately 1 hour. After that, you will need to remove the Tank, refill it, and return it to the Water Tank Mount. You can do this while the food is steaming without disrupting the cooking process. Place similar foods together in the same Basket. Foods that are cut into large pieces, are in a large quantity, or require a longer cooking time should always be placed in Basket 1 (the bottom basket). Foods that are cut into small pieces or that cook very quickly should be placed in Basket 3 (the top basket). When cooking meats, fish, or poultry, place them in Basket 1 (bottom basket) so that their juices will not drip onto other foods. Place any foods that are covered in spices or marinades in Basket 1 (the bottom basket) to avoid accidentally flavoring other foods in the other Baskets. Don t overlap the food or overfill the Baskets. When arranging your meats and veggies in each Basket, evenly spread out the food so that it doesn t overlap. This will ensure that the food cooks evenly. It is important to space out the food so that the steam can easily flow through the holes in the Basket Trays. When cooking frozen meats, always make sure to thaw the fish, meat, or poultry before steaming. 14
