When steaming for a longer time, ensure the water reservoir is filled to the maximum MAX level on the water  
window before operation commences. During the longer cooking time ensure the water does not fall below  
the minimum MIN level. However, do not refill to the MAX level during operation. Allow the water to reach the  
MIN level then add water to align with the TOP-UP level on the water window. Do not refill past the TOP-UP  
line when the food steamer is in operation. Excess cooking juices will collect in the drip tray and should be  
discarded once cooled.

Steaming Guides  
EGGS  
The following are some handy guidelines when cooking eggs. The steamer is ideal for poaching,  
scrambling and cooking eggs in the shell.  
For cooking eggs in the shell:  
1. Eggs must be pierced with a clean pin or fine skewer through the top or base of the egg shell  
before cooking.  
ꢀ. Place eggs into egg indents in steamer baskets, pierced side up.  
3. Cover with lid.  
4. Set the timer to preferred cooking time.  
For poached eggs:  
1. Place a tablespoon of water into individual-sized heatproof dishes, cups or ramekins (small  
enough for 1 egg) then crack an egg into each. Insert 4 prepared ramekins into each steamer  
basket, then cover with lid.  
ꢀ. Set the timer to preferred cooking time and monitor firmness of poached eggs during steaming.  
For scrambled eggs:  
1. Prepare eggs, milk and seasonings for scrambled eggs by lightly beating in the rice/sauce  
cooking bowl. Place rice/sauce cooking bowl into steamer basket and cover with lid.  
ꢀ. Set the timer to preferred cooking time. Remove lid during steaming time and stir the eggs.
