At the beginning of each day, open the door of
the appliance and pour 3 gallons (11 liters) of
ordinary tap water into the bottom of the cooking
compartment. Daily water usage will depend on
several factors: cooking temperature, the products
being cooked and the length of time the door is
open. In most cases, 3 gallons (11 liters) of water
will last several hours or more. If the appliance
does run out of water, the “Low Water” warning
indicator light and buzzer will turn on. Should this
occur, simply turn the appliance off, refill it with
water and restart the appliance. If the shutdown
occurred during cooking, the cycle will resume
at the point it stopped. Time adjustment may be
necessary, depending on the temperature of the
water the appliance was re-filled with.
