illuminated. DO NOT OVERFILL. A funnel may be used, with care.
5. There is approximately 1/2 quart of water in the tank when the "Low Level (Red) Light" is on. The steam button may be used
while the red light is on. The "Low Level (Red) Light" will blink when the tank is empty and must be filled.

twice) in order to prime the water pump.

efficiency. The cover must be closed to visually see steam and hold steam. Pressing and holding the Steam Button will rapidly cool
the heating plate causing lengthy reheating time.
