[. . . ] Do not change the plug in any way. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be observed including the following: IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 1. Read all instructions, product labels and warnings before using your Food Steamer. When unit is not in use and before cleaning, unplug the Food Steamer from the electrical outlet. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the appliance, cord, or plug in water or other liquids. [. . . ] When steaming is complete, the timer will give a single ring and automatically shut off the steaming function. When you have finished using the appliance, unplug from the wall socket and leave to cool completely before removing the Drip Tray. While other parts of the unit may be cool, the water in the Water Reservoir andqthe Drip Tray may still be very hot. I Useful Hints: -For high altitude cooking, steaming times may need to be increased. Times may vary depending on the size of food pieces, spacing of the food in the Steamer Bow!, freshness of food, and personal preference. Therefore, the cooking time for a larger quantity of food will be increased. If pieces vary in size and layering is required, place smaller pieces on top. Arrange the food with spaces between pieces to allow for maximum steam flow. -When steaming large quantities of food, remove lid about halfway through the steaming time and stir using a long handled utensil, protecting your hands from the steam with oven mitts. *DO not add salt and seasoning to the Steaming Bowl until after COOking. This is to avoid possible damage to the heating element located in the Water Reservoir. *All the times stated in the `Steaming Charts and Recipes" are based on the use of cold water in the Water Reservoir. *The Rice Bowl is an ideal container for steaming other foods such as fruit. vegetables, puddings, quick breads, etc. Using two Steaming bowls -Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest Cooking time in the lower bowl. -You may place a different food in the stacking and lower bowls, but as condensation will drip from the stacking bowl be sure the flavors compliment each other. If steaming meat or poultry and vegetables, always place the meat or poultry in the lower bowl so that juices from raw or partially cooked meat cannot drip onto other foods. l Steaming times for food in the stacking bowl are usually slightly longer so allow an extra 5 minutes. - If foods with different cooking times are being steamed, start the food with the longest cooking time in the lower bowl. Then when the remaining steaming time reaches that of food with the shortest cooking time, carefully remove the lid with oven mitts and place the Separator Ring and stacking basket on top. Cover with lid and continue cooking. Storage and Maintenance Allow appliances to cool completely before storing. Store Food Steamer in a dry location such as on a table top or counter top, or in a cupboard shelf. Wind the electrical cord into a coil and secure with a twist fastener. Other than the recommended cleaning no further user maintenance should be necessary.
