CHECKING FOOD WHILE COOKING
To maximize efficiency, while minimizing
cooking time, it is always recommended to allow
food to finish it’s cook cycle before opening the
cooking compartment door. However, if the
door is opened during a cooking cycle, a time
adjustment may be necessary, depending on
how long and often the compartment door was
opened.
Press the “OFF” button, stand back while
slowly opening the door, allowing the cooking
compartment to vent its steam. Once steam has
vented, carefully check the food and turn the
appliance back “ON” and set for “T-STAT COOk”
or “FAST COOk”.
HOLDING
The STEAM’N’HOLD™ will automatically enter
the “HOLD” mode once the set time has expired,
the buzzer will sound, alerting the operator that
the food is ready. A slight counterclockwise
manual adjustment to the “HOLD” position on
penetrate from all directions, perforated pans will
maximize heat transfer and give you the shortest
cooking times.
HIGH TEmP COOKING (212°F/100°C)
To begin high temperature cooking,, set the timer to
desired cooking time, and turn the selector switch
to “ON”, if the steamer has to be started, and then
select “FAST COOk”.
CONTINuOuS COOK
This feature gives you the flexibility of cooking
independently of the cooking timer and can be
utilized in either “T-STAT COOk” or “FAST
COOk”.
Follow either low temperature or high temperature
cooking guidelines but instead of selecting a time
period, rotate the timer knob clockwise until the
white indicator on the timer knob lines up with the
yellow “CONTINUOUS” position.
the timer knob is needed to turn off the buzzer.
The “HOLD” temperature is determined by the
thermostat setting. It is recommended to preheat
the cooking compartment to the desired holding
temperature if the cooking compartment is in
a cool state. To hold food independently of
cooking, rotate the timer counter clockwise
until the white indicator on the timer knob lines
up with the yellow “HOLD” position. Select
the desired “HOLD” temperature and turn the
selector switch to “ON”.
