2. Hold the Drip Tray by the handle and place it into
the Base (Figure A).
3. Place herbs in the Flavor Scenter Screen for added flavor
(Figure B).
Important: To prevent small herbs or ground spices from
falling through the Flavor Scenter Screen, rinse or wet the
screen before adding seasonings.
You may use the Drip Tray without adding herbs to the Flavor
Scenter if you prefer.
NOTE: Use the Drip Tray whenever the Rice Bowl is not
used. It prevents fats/juices from dripping into the water
and bubbling up into the Steaming Bowl. If you like, save
these juices for gravy, sauce, or soup starters.
4. Place food in the Steaming Bowl and cover it so that the
Cover handles line up over the Bowl handles and the tabs
fit properly into the openings.
5. Put the Steaming Bowl onto the Base, plug in and

75 minutes. When the time is up, a bell will ring,

matically shut off. Some liquid will remain in the
Reservoir.
CAUTION: Always use pot holders to remove the Cover.
Be sure to lift the Cover away from your face and body to
avoid escaping hot steam.
NOTE: If the desired cooking time is less than 15 minutes, first turn the Timer past
15 and then turn it back to the desired cooking time.
6. The Cover can be turned over an(] used as a trivet for the Steaming Bowl
(Figure C). Unplug, remove the Steaming Bowl, and place on the inverted
Cover.
7. When cooking in the Rice Bowl, add rice, herbs, seasonings, and water direct-
ly to the Bowl and fill the water Reservoir to the appropriate line. Put the
Steaming Bowl onto the Base and place the Rice Bowl with contents into the
Steaming Bowl.
