2You can also fill the water reservoir
through the External Water Fill as
illustrated in Figure 2. There are
MAX and MIN lines on the water
box to indicate the water level.
Even while food is still cooking,
if the water box shows that the
water level is low, you can add
water accordingly through the
External Water Fill without
moving the food basket.
NOTE: Water should never go below MIN line.
Instant Steam Function

element sleeve. Before cooking,
when this sleeve is placed around the
heating element, the steam function
will automatically produce steam in 35
seconds. Do not operate the steamer
without the heating element sleeve.
PLEASE NOTE: The heating element
sleeve may be removed (as illustrated
in Figure 3). to allow cleaning of the
heating element. On the heating
element sleeve, there is a small indentation (cut) which should
face downward when replaced on the heating element.

FOR STEAMING
Steam cooking
Cooking food through steaming is a healthy and quick way to
cook a wide variety of foods. Whether in preparation for baby
food, for diet reasons or for pure flavor, steam cooking prepares
food at a very high heat and can overcook quickly.
You may steam up to 1.3 Qts. of food ( about 5 cups) at a time.
Steaming times are estimates and depend on the quantity, size
and temperature of food. Consider all the cook times given in
the Egg Cooking & Food Steaming Chart as suggestions.

www.oster.com

1Rinse vegetables, seafood, or other foods without sauce or
liquid (Can cook up to 1.3 quarts of food or about 5 cups of
food at a time). Place food in the food basket, arranging the
food in the center of the basket. Try not to block the steam
vents.
NOTE: Your mini steamer comes with a food separator. The food
separator allows you to steam two different types of food side
by side during the same steaming cycle. To use the food
separator, place between the vegetables, seafood, or other
foods that you would like to separate.
2Place the food basket to rest on top of the drip tray. Place lid
on top of the food basket and plug unit in.
3Refer to the Egg Cooking & Food Steaming Guide to
determine the correct cook time. These times will vary
depending on the quantity of food to steam.
4Turn the control knob clockwise to the time setting desired.
The power indicator light will automatically come on.
5While the unit is operating, the red power indicator light will
be displayed indicating timer operation. After the unit has
cooked for the set amount of time, the red light will turn off,
and you will hear an audible alert.
6 After cook time is complete, remove lid and food from food
basket.
NOTE: Escaping Steam. Use caution when handling and
removing hot components.
Boil-dry Feature
The egg cooker/mini food steamer has a self-protection feature
that will automatically cancel the cooking operation. This
indicates that the steamer is out of water, or too low on water to
complete the cooking cycle. Fill the reservoir with the proper
amount of water and reset the cook time.
NOTE: If you see the water level in the reservoir is close to the
indicated MIN line, re-fill with more water through the external
water fill.

www.oster.com
CARE & CLEANING
This appliance should be cleaned after every use.
NOTE: DO NOT IMMERSE BASE, PLUG OR CORD IN WATER OR
ANY OTHER LIQUIDS!
1Unplug cord from outlet. Before cleaning, allow steamer to
cool.
2Empty the drip tray and the water reservoir. If there is a 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.
3Wash lid, food basket, drip tray, poaching trays, food separator
and removable heating element in hot, soapy water.
4Rinse and dry all parts, or wash on top rack of dishwasher.
5To clean water reservoir, wipe the inside with a clean, damp
cloth.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners
6In hard water areas, the scale may build up on the heating
element. If scale is allowed to accumulate, the steam could
turn off before the food is cooked. After 7–10 uses, pour
3 cups of clear vinegar into the water reservoir then fill with
water up to the MAX level. Do not place any other parts
in this procedure.
7Plug 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 cold water to wipe
down the water reservoir several times.

HELPFUL HINTS & TIPS
FOR FOOD STEAMING:
Vegetables
1Clean the vegetables thoroughly. Cut off stems; trim, peel or
chop if necessary. Smaller pieces steam faster than larger ones.
2Quantity, quality, freshness, size/uniformity and temperature
of frozen food may affect steam timing. Adjust cooking time
as desired.
3Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming.
4Frozen foods should be separated or stirred after 10-12
minutes. Use a long-handled fork or spoon to separate or stir
foods.
Fish and Seafood
1The steaming times listed in the chart are suggestions for
fresh, frozen or fully thawed seafood and fish. Before steaming,
clean and prepare fresh seafood and fish.
2Most fish and seafood cook very quickly. Steam in small
portions or in amounts as specified.
3When cooking shellfish, steam until shells open and discard
any shells that remain closed. When buying shellfish, be sure
to keep the bag open during transportation and storage to
ensure shellfish stay alive until cook time.
4Serve steamed seafood and fish plain or use seasoned butter
or margarine, lemon or favorite sauces.
5Adjust steaming times accordingly.
Frozen Food
When steaming frozen food, cook until food is thoroughly heated
and reaches temperatures above 175° F.
13

14
Meat
Using an instant read thermometer to ensure foods such as
meat reach over 165° F will aid in knowing when meat is fully
cooked. Many instant read thermometers will fit through the
steam holes in the lid.
Cook times
Always err on the side of undercooking when trying to establish
exact cook times for specific foods. While times can be added
on, overcooking is permanent.
