Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Tower steamer is simple; align the numbered tiers according to the provided handles for a secure fit. Ensure the steamer is placed on a flat, heat-resistant surface before plugging it in. To maintain the unit, wash the tiers, lid, and rice bowl in 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 reservoir for limescale buildup, especially in hard water areas, to ensure the 40-second steam production remains consistent.
