Preparation Instructions
General
• The following times are only a guide and may vary depend-
ing upon circumstances.
• If you are using several steaming dishes the total prepara-
tion time will be approximately 5 minutes longer.
• Large pieces or foods known to have a long cooking time
should always be placed on the bottom cooking tray.
• Do not choose too large a quantity of food or food which
is itself too large so that the steam can pass through the
unblocked holes of the cooking tray.
• Defrost meat and poultry before cooking it.
• Liquids which collect in the drip tray can be used for soups
and sauces.
