BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
IMPORTANT: Never place Lid, Rice Cooking Bowl, Steamer
Baskets or Drip Tray on a hot stove or in a microwave.
Before using your 3-Tier Food Steamer for the first time, we suggest
you become familiar with all of its parts. Read all instructions and
cautions carefully.
1. Unpack your Food Steamer and accessories.
2. Before steaming foods, clean Lid, Rice Cooking Bowl, Steamer
Baskets, Inserts and Drip Tray in mild dishwashing detergent.
Rinse thoroughly and dry.
CAUTION: Do not immerse cord, plug, or Steamer Base with
Heating Element in water or other liquids.
3. We recommend placing a large heat-resistant tray, protective
mat or kitchen towel on your countertop to serve as a resting
area to place Steamer Baskets when checking cooking progress.
REMOVABLE STEAMER BASKET
INSERT ASSEMBLY
There are 3 Steamer Baskets and 3 interchangeable Removable
Steamer Basket Inserts.
1. To assemble, place a Steamer Basket flat onto the counter top.
All Steamer Basket Inserts have 6 special cups to hold eggs in
position. The Insert must be flipped so the cups are facing
upwards to hold eggs (in the shell) in place. Add Insert centered
into the bottom of the Basket.
2. Slide one of the Insert’s Tabs under the Base Tab at the bottom
of the Basket. With one side in position, now lock the opposite
side of the Insert into the Base.
3. Grasp the Basket with one
hand. With the your second
hand, press the Insert’s
Indented Tab and use the first
hand to gently pull the wall of
the Basket out slightly, just
until the second Indented Tab
falls securely under the Base
Tab (see Figure 2).
