How to use

Fill the base water reservoir to the recommended level, assemble the three steam baskets according to the desired configuration and distribute ingredients across tiers according to required cooking times. Set the 60-minute timer and start steam generation; the unit will produce steady steam to cook food evenly. When the cycle ends, switch off and carefully remove baskets using heat-resistant handles or oven gloves to avoid burns. Empty remaining water and allow components to cool before cleaning.

Usage recommendations

For best results, place foods with longer cooking times in the lower basket and quick-cooking items on upper tiers. Cut ingredients into uniform sizes to ensure consistent steaming. Use fresh water for each session and descale the base unit periodically if you use hard water.
