STEAM/SIMMER (sensor - manual): Touch STEAM/SIMMER. Select “Steam” or “Simmer.”

Use a microwave-safe steamer vessel (not provided) for this function. See “Accessory Configurations” in the User Instructions. A microwave-

safe dish with a loose-fitting lid may be used for simmering.

NOTE: Do not remove the lid while the steamer is in the microwave oven, as a rush of steam would disrupt the sensor readings.

STEAM

Use 1¹⁄₄ cups (300 mL) water in steamer base. Use 2-6 cups (500 mL-

1.5 L) vegetables, 0.5-1 lb (227-454 g) fish or 5-10 oz (142-283 g)

shrimp. Place food in steamer insert, place insert in base, and cover

with steamer lid. Enter steam time. The sensor will detect when the

liquid begins to boil and start the steam countdown.

Approximate steam times:

■ Soft vegetables 1-3 min (ex.: spinach - 4 cups [1L] 1 min)

■ Hard vegetables 3-6 min (ex.: broccoli - 2 cups [500 mL] 4 min)

■ Frozen vegetables 4-5 min

■ Fish and seafood 2-3 min

Use longer times for more doneness, or when steaming larger

quantities.

SIMMER

Do not use steamer insert. Use same time as in recipe or on package

directions.

Rice and sauces: Place liquid and food in steamer base and cover

with the lid. Enter simmer time. The sensor will detect when the liquid

begins to boil, and start the simmer countdown.

Pasta: Place liquid in steamer base, and cover with the lid. Enter

simmer time of 1 second. The sensor will detect when the liquid begins

to boil, and begin the simmer countdown. When the microwave oven

stops, remove the steamer, remove the lid, and add the pasta. Re-

cover and return the steamer to the microwave oven. Clear the display

using the Cancel control, then reprogram the simmer function. Enter

simmer time (ex.: dry spaghetti - 11-12 min), then touch START to

begin simmering.
