following page and the markings on the inside of the Body (3) before placing wa-
ter in the Steamer. Pour the required amount of cold water into the Body (3) of the
Cooking Steamer. Do not use wine, meat of vegetable stock, or any other fluid.
Place the food in the Steam Bowl (2). Place the plastic Lid (1) securely on top of
the Bowl. Do not add herbs or spices before the end of cooking. Be sure the Lid
and handles on the Steam Bowl are perfectly in line. Do not overfill the Steam
Bowl (2). The steam must be able to circulate and escape freely.

on page 7).You may add water to the reservoir if some foods, according to per-
sonal taste, require a longer cooking time.
Once cooking time is completed, unplug the Steamer. Carefully remove the
Steam Bowl (2). Sit it on a level, heat-treated surface. With a hot pad holder (not
provided), gently remove the Lid (1), tilting it away from you to avoid being burned
by steam escaping from the Steamer.

To serve the food, turn the Lid (1) over and slide it under the Steam Bowl (2). This
will act as an elevated stand to prevent damaging the surface below.
