USING YOUR INSTANT STEAMER
BEFORE FIRST USE
Wash the appliance thoroughly before use. Prior to rst-time use, steam water in the
Instant Steamer while empty. This will eliminate any odors. Always unplug the appliance
prior to cleaning or storing.
WARNING: The Power Base and stainless steel Basket Trays are NOT dishwasher safe.
Do not submerge the Power Base in water or any other liquids.
Remove all packaging material and stickers.
Hand wash the stainless steel Basket Trays and wipe down the Power Base with a soft,
damp cloth.
Wash the Water Tank, Water Tank Cap, Lid, Water Level Pin, and Baskets in warm, soapy
water or place in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly.
Place appliance on a stable surface and plug in the power cord. Fill the Water Tank with
clean, cold water. Attach the Cap to the Tank and place it on the Water Tank Mount.
Properly stack the Baskets and the Lid on the Power Base (see “How To Use Your Instant
Steamer on pages 12-13) and set the Timer Knob to 10 minutes. Once the buzzer
sounds, let the Steamer cool down and then carefully wipe down the parts. Pour out
remaining water.

Water Tank Cap, and place the Tank on the Water Tank
Mount. Make sure that the Water Level Pin is in place before

3. Attach the stainless steel Basket Trays to Basket 2 and Basket
3, making sure that the tabs on the edges of the Basket Trays
snap into the notches on the bottom of each Basket.
4. Place foods in the correct Baskets (see Steaming Chart
on page 15 for instructions on which Baskets are best for
certain foods and cooking times).
HOW TO USE YOUR INSTANT STEAMER
Do not touch the Baskets or Lid during operation as they will be hot and may cause
injury. Once steaming is complete, unplug the appliance and wait 5 minutes before
removing the Lid and the cooked food. Only remove the Lid by its Handle and wear
oven mitts to prevent personal injury when necessary.
Note: Before turning on the Steamer, make sure that the Baskets, Trays, and the Lid are
properly assembled and stacked so as to prevent steam escaping from areas other than
the Steam Vent. Never operate the Instant Steamer without all of the Baskets, Basket
Trays, or the Lid. All parts must be properly assembled before use.

5. Stack the Baskets in the correct order on top of the Power
Base. Basket 1 should be on the bottom, Basket 2 in the
middle, and Basket 3 on top. Then, cover the top Basket with
the Lid.
6. Set the Timer Knob to the necessary steaming time (see
Steaming Chart on page 15 for suggested cooking times).
The Indicator Light will turn on and the food will start to
cook.
7. Once the Timer Knob reaches 0, the Indicator Light will shut
off and the buzzer will sound. Unplug the power cord and
wait 5 minutes for the Instant Steamer to cool. Carefully
remove the Lid by its Handle and take out the cooked food.
Make sure to be careful when removing the Lid and the
Baskets as escaping steam may cause injury.

STEAMING TIPS
Never operate the Instant Steamer without all of the Baskets, Basket Trays, or the Lid. All
parts must be properly assembled before use.
Important Note: The Water Tank has a 1 L capacity. When the Tank is completely lled,
the Steamer can create steam continuously for approximately 1 hour. After that, you will
need to remove the Tank, rell it, and return it to the Water Tank Mount. You can do this
while the food is steaming without disrupting the cooking process.
• Place similar foods together in the same Basket.
• Foods that are cut into large pieces, are in a large quantity, or require a longer
cooking time should always be placed in Basket 1 (the bottom basket).
• Foods that are cut into small pieces or that cook very quickly should be placed in
Basket 3 (the top basket).
• When cooking meats, sh, or poultry, place them in Basket 1 (bottom basket) so
that their juices will not drip onto other foods.
• Place any foods that are covered in spices or marinades in Basket 1 (the bottom
basket) to avoid accidentally avoring other foods in the other Baskets.
• Don’t overlap the food or overll the Baskets. When arranging your meats and
veggies in each Basket, evenly spread out the food so that it doesn’t overlap. This
will ensure that the food cooks evenly. It is important to space out the food so that
the steam can easily ow through the holes in the Basket Trays.
• When cooking frozen meats, always make sure to thaw the sh, meat, or poultry
before steaming.

15
*Note: When cooking foods in Basket 3, you will need to add 1-3 minutes to the
cooking time.

5. Pour out remaining water from Power Base and wipe down the Base with a soft,
wet cloth. Make sure to wipe out the Water Tank Mount to avoid residue or mineral
build-up.
6. Dry all parts thoroughly. When storing, attach the Basket Trays to the Baskets, stack
the Baskets in the correct order, and cover with the Lid. Insert the Water Level Pin
into the Power Base. Attach the Water Tank Cap to the Tank and place it on the
Water Tank Mount. Store appliance in a cool, dry place.
Every few months, the Instant Steamer should be de-scaled according to the

Tank Cap and place the Water Tank on the Water Tank Mount.
2. Assemble the Baskets in the correct order on top of the Power Base and cover with
the Lid.
3. Plug in the Steamer and set the Timer Knob to 6-10 minutes.
4. Once the buzzer has sounded, unplug the Steamer and allow the appliance to cool.
Then, pour out any remaining liquid in the Water Tank and rinse the Tank and Cap.
