INSTANT STEAM FUNCTION (removable heating

element sleeve)

Included is a removable heating element sleeve. Before

cooking, when this sleeve is placed on top of the

heating element, the steam function will automatically

produce steam in 35 seconds.

Please note: On the heating element sleeve, there is

a small indentation (cut) which should face downward

when placed on the heating element.

Instruction for use

Place unit on a ﬂat, sturdy surface with adequate clearance

(i.e. do not place under wall cabinets). The steamer unit and

components are not for use in ovens (microwave, convection

or conventional) or on stove-top.

Fill water reservoir with clean water only. Do not put any

other liquids or add any salt, pepper …etc. in the water

reservoir. Make sure the water does not exceed the HI ﬁll

level or lower than LO ﬁll level as indicated inside the water

reservoir. Then place the drip tray on the base.

Alternatively you can ﬁll water from the water inlet and there

are MAX & MIN indicator lines which show on the water

box. Even when food is still cooking, if you feel water is less,

you can see very clearly from the water level indicator and

accordingly add the water from water inlet without moving

any steaming bowl.

NOTE: WATER SHOULD NEVER BE LOWER THAN LO

(MIN) LINE.

TO USE UPPER, MIDDLE OR LOWER STEAMING BOWL.

Place vegetables, seafood or other foods without sauce or

liquid in the center of bowl. Try not to block steam vents.

You can use lower steaming bowl as an egg tray by directly

placing a total of 8 eggs on it.

Instructions Manual 5

Place the largest piece of food with longest cooking

time in the lower steaming bowl. Place lower bowl

on top of drip tray and base. Place the upper/middle

bowl on top.

Or you can place upper bowl directly on top of lower

bowl without using middle bowl.

To use rice bowl

Place rice or other foods with sauce or liquid in rice

bowl. Cover the lid. Plug into wall outlet. Set timer.

When food is well cooked, unplug unit.

Cooking times are estimates and depend on the quantity,

size, required degree of cooking and temperature of

food. Consider all the cooking times given in the following

guide as suggested times for double tier steamer. For

cooking food in three tier steamer, according to your

taste, adjust times accordingly.

When handling and removing hot components, use

POT-HOLDERS to avoid burns from hot steams.

TIMER SETTING (MAXIMUM 75 MINUTES)

Set the timer to the recommended cooking time

(steaming times can be adjusted as per your

experiment). The light turns on and steam comes in 35

seconds if using heating element sleeve. The light will

turn off when cooking is completed and the timer will

give a signal bell.

For double tier or three tier steamer

Care and clean

• Unplug cord from outlet. Before cleaning allow Steamer to cool. Never immerse the

Base, Cord or Plug in water.

• Empty the drip tray and the water reservoir. If there is small amount of water remaining

inside the water box, you can just turn the unit upside down and water will come out

from the water inlet.

• Wash lid, steaming bowl, rice bowl and drip tray in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry all

parts. Or wash on top rack of dishwasher.

• Clean reservoir with soapy water then wipe with damp cloth.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners

• The lower/middle steaming bowl and the rice bowl can be stored inside the upper

steaming bowl with the lid on top.

• In hard water areas, scale may build up on the heating element. If scale is allowed to

accumulate, the steamer could turn off before the food is cooked. So, after 7-10 uses,

pour 3 cups of clear vinegar into the water reservoir then water up to HI level. Do

not place lid, steaming bowl, rice bowl & drip tray in this procedure.

• Plug in and set timer to 20 minutes. When the timer rings, unplug cord from outlet.

Allow the unit to cool completely before emptying the water reservoir. Use the cold

water to rinse the water reservoir several times.
