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). Figure 2

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure the Food Steamer is unplugged.
2. Place unit on a flat sturdy surface with adequate clearance.
Keep children away from the Food Steamer.
3. Place the Steam Ring into position over the Heating Element,
the larger end facing the bottom of the Steamer Base.
4. Place the Drip Tray onto the Steamer Base making sure that the
Timer Control Dial faces front and is level. Both Water Fill
Holes (in the Drip Tray Handles) will fit perfectly into the
Steamer Base cutouts. With a measuring cup or any spouted
vessel, fill the Steamer Base to the MAX water line (5 cups) on
the Water Level Lens. This amount of water/liquid will steam for
approximately 1 hour.
WARNING: When cooking foods for more than 1 hour, check the
Water Level Lens periodically. Since the Food Steamer cannot
operate properly when the water level is too low, you must
refill while steaming. Use a spouted vessel and add water
through either Water Fill Hole.
5. There are 3 Steamer Baskets. Use the markings on the Steamer
Basket Handles to identify the FIRST (1), SECOND (2), and
THIRD (3) Steamer Baskets and their positions. Place foods to
be cooked into the various Steamer Baskets.
6. The bottom of every stacked Steamer Basket locks into the
grooves along the top rim of the Steamer Basket below it.
7. When using a single Steamer Basket, use only the FIRST (1)
Basket. (See Figure 3) When using 2 tiers (dual Steamer
Baskets), use the FIRST (1) Basket and rest the SECOND (2)
Basket with the Lid on top. (See Figure 4)
NOTE: It is important that food is contained and evenly
distributed within each Basket.
CAUTION: Make sure the FIRST (1) Steamer Basket is securely
sitting in steaming position — over the Drip Tray, on the
Steamer Base. Make sure the bottom of every stacked Steamer
Basket sits securely in the grooves along the top rim of the
Steamer Basket below it, and that the food is contained and
evenly distributed within each Basket.
CAUTION: While steaming, make sure the Food Steamer is
placed in a secure area that will not be bumped or pushed or
disturbed in any manner or where steam could damage upper
cabinets, curtains, etc.
8. Place the denser foods that need to cook the most in the FIRST
(1) Steamer Basket, closest to the steam. To ensure all pieces in
the Steamer Basket will be cooked within the same time frame,
cut food in each Basket to a uniform size and distribute food
evenly throughout the Basket.

9. When cooking in multiple Steamer Baskets with foods requiring
various steaming times, place the food to be finished first in the
THIRD (3) Steamer Basket.
10. When the Steamer Base, Drip Tray, Steamer Basket(s) and Lid
are properly set up, plug the unit into a 120V AC electric outlet.
11. The Timer Control Dial acts as the on and off switch. Turn the
Timer Control Dial clockwise to select the appropriate cooking
time up to 60 minutes.
NOTE: If cooking less than 10 minutes, turn Timer to “10” and
then back to desired cooking time. The Power Indicator Light
will illuminate as steaming begins.
12. When cooking with multiple Steamer Baskets, set the Timer
to the shortest steaming time. At the end of that time, a signal
will sound, the Power Indicator Light with turn off; the Food
Steamer will turn OFF automatically. Use protective oven mitts
to remove the Lid. Check the THIRD (3) Basket food for desired
doneness. If the THIRD (3) Basket’s food is finished cooking,
remove it and replace the Lid onto the SECOND (2)
Steamer Basket.
13. Turn the Timer Control Dial to the desired cooking time to
begin steaming again. At the end of that time, a signal will
sound, the Food Steamer will turn OFF automatically and the
Power Indicator Light with turn off. Use protective oven mitts
to remove the Lid. Check the SECOND (2) Basket food for
desired doneness. If the SECOND (2) Basket’s food is finished
cooking, remove it and replace the Lid onto the FIRST (1)
Steamer Basket.
WARNING: Steam is hot and can cause burns. Keep hands and
face away from steam holes in the Lid. Use protective oven
mitts to remove Steamer Baskets from the Base and to lift the
Lid. When removing the Lid after steaming, always tilt Lid
away from your face to avoid burns caused from steam.
14. While cooking in 2 or 3 tiers, it may become necessary to
check the food in the FIRST (1) (bottom) Steamer Basket.
Using oven mitts, carefully remove the stacked THIRD (3)
and the SECOND (2) Baskets with Lid and place onto a large
heat-resistant tray, protective mat or place onto a kitchen towel
spread out over the countertop. Check food in the FIRST (1)
Steamer Basket. If it still requires more steaming time, replace
the Steamer Baskets on top of the FIRST (1) Steamer Basket.
