Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the steamer is straightforward: place the base on a stable, heat-resistant surface and fill the reservoir with water to the indicated level. Ensure the drip tray is positioned correctly before stacking the baskets. For maintenance, wash the removable tiers and the rice bowl with warm, soapy water after each use. The base unit should only be wiped down with a damp cloth; never submerge the electrical base in water. Periodically check the water inlet to ensure no mineral buildup is blocking steam flow, especially if you live in a hard-water area.
