Troubleshooting

Unit does not turn on

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the water reservoir has sufficient water.

Steamer is not producing steam

Verify the water level is adequate. Ensure the lid is properly sealed on the top tier. Check if the unit has completed its heating cycle.

Food is not cooked evenly

Avoid overcrowding the steaming baskets. Ensure food pieces are cut to a similar size. Check that steam can circulate freely between tiers.

Water runs out quickly

Check the water level indicator and refill as needed during operation using the water inlet. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to minimize steam loss.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Fill the water reservoir to the desired level, observing the water level indicator, ensuring it does not exceed the maximum line.

Select your desired program or set the manual timer.

Compatibility:

Care:

Daily Cleaning: After each use, allow the unit to cool completely. Disassemble and wash all removable parts (tanks, baskets, lid, rice bowl) in hot, soapy water or place them in the dishwasher (top rack recommended).
Descaling: Mineral deposits can build up over time. To descale, fill the water tank with a 1:1 solution of white vinegar and water. Run the steamer for 10-15 minutes (without food), then discard the solution and rinse thoroughly. Repeat monthly or as needed based on water hardness.
Wiping the Base: Wipe the exterior of the base unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse the base unit in water.
