does not eliminate the need for the consumer to
maintain the original proof of purchase in order to
obtain the warranty benefits. In the event that you
do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase
date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of
manufacture.
hINTS AND TIPS
1. The steaming times mentioned in this cooking
table are suggested times, cooking time varies
depending on the size and quantity of foods as
well as personal preference.
2. If the foods are placed in several layers in the va-
rious trays, the cooking time should be increased.
3. The given cooking times are calculated for fresh
foods.

4. For more uniform cooking, use foods with a
nearly equal size.
5. Meat, chicken and seafood should be completely
defrosted before being placed in the steamer.
6. Do not allow foods to touch the sides of the
steam tray, this allows the steam to circulate
freely around the foods, giving better results.
