The cooking chamber is designed to retain heat. It may still be hot to the touch when
cleaning. Wear protective gloves, or wait for the surface to cool before cleaning. Do

damage may result.
2) Cautions
a) Do not use utensils, steel wool, or other harsh abrasives to clean your steamer.
Scratching of the non-stick surface and stainless steel casing may occur.
b) The steamer must be level in order for the water sensor to function properly.
c)
Do not use any abrasive cleaners, utensils or scrubbers on the non-stick coating –
this will damage the coating. Use vinegar and water to clean reservoir. Nylon bristle
brushes or soft sponges are recommended.
d) Do not manually refill hot, dry reservoir with cold water. Damage to the interior may
result if cold water is added to a hot, dry reservoir.
e) Starchy foods (potatoes, pasta, peas) can cause the cooking water to become frothy.
Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the water to control foaming.
