How to use

Fill the water reservoir according to the level markings, place the rice bowl or steam baskets with food items into the steamer, assemble the lid and set the desired cooking time based on food type and portion size. Start the appliance and monitor steam production through the lid; the two baskets allow cooking different items simultaneously without mixing. After the cycle ends, switch off and allow a short steaming rest before removing baskets to avoid burns from hot steam. Empty and clean the water tank and removable parts after each use following the manufacturer's care instructions.

Recommendations

For even results, chop vegetables into uniform pieces and arrange items in a single layer per basket when possible. Use the rice bowl for measured grain-to-water ratios and avoid overfilling baskets to maintain steam circulation. Regular descaling of the water tank is recommended if using hard water to preserve steam performance.
