IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,  
including the following:  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.  
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use potholders when removing cover or handling  
hot containers to avoid steam burns.  
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or base unit in  
water or other liquids.  
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.  
• Unplug from outlet when not in use. Unplug before putting on or taking off  
parts, and allow to cool before cleaning.  
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the  
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance  
to an authorized Oster® Service Center for examination, repair or adjustment.  
• Do not use outdoors.  
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.  
• Do not operate appliance while empty or without water in the reservoir.  
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.  
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot food  
or water or other hot liquids.  
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.  
Lift and open cover carefully to avoid scalding and allow water to drip into steamer.  
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by this appliance  
manufacturer may cause hazards.  
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS  
• This appliance is intended for household use only.  
• Make sure the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on  
the appliance’s rating label.  
• The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the  
hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a long cord.  
• For safety it is not recommended to use an electrical extension cord with  
this appliance.  
• Do not immerse base unit in water or other liquids.  
• Use with wall receptacle only.  
FOR 120-V AND 127-V MARKETS ONLY  
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one  
blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way.  
This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If  
the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not  
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.  
THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

BEFORE THE FIRST USE  
Remove any labels or stickers from appliance.  
Thoroughly wash lid, rice bowl, upper steaming bowl, lower steaming bowl,  
drip tray and heating element sleeve in warm, soapy water before first use,  
then rinse and dry carefully. The heating element sleeve must be installed  
around the heating element for proper operation.  
Wipe the inside of the water reservoir with a damp cloth.  
INSTANT STEAM FUNCTION  
Included is a removable heating element  
sleeve. Before cooking, when this sleeve  
is placed around the heating element,  
the steam function will automatically produce  
steam in 35 seconds. Do not operate the  
steamer without the heating element sleeve.  
PLEASE NOTE: The heating element sleeve  
may be removed to allow cleaning of the  
heating element. On the heating element  
sleeve, there is a small indentation (cut) which  
should face downward when replaced on the  
heating element.

(microwave, convection or conventional)  
or on stovetop.  
FILLING WATER RESERVOIR

only. Do not put any other liquids or add  
any salt, pepper, etc., in the water reservoir.

HI fill level or go lower than the LO fill level  
as indicated inside the water reservoir. Then  
place the drip tray on the base. (Step 1B)

water accordingly to the water inlet without  
moving any of the steaming bowls. (Step 2)

by directly placing a total of 8 eggs on it.  
(Egg holding steaming tray not available  
on Model 5709).  
FOR DOUBLE TIER OR  
THREE TIER STEAMER  
UPPER OR LOWER STEAMING BOWLS

the upper steaming bowl on top of the base  
unit, or you can place upper steaming bowl  
directly on top of the lower steaming bowl.

USING THE RICE BOWL  
Place rice or other foods with sauce or liquid  
in rice bowl. Place rice bowl in the lower  
steaming bowl and cover with the lid.  
Plug into wall outlet and set timer.  
When food is well cooked, unplug unit.  
TIMER SETTING (Maximum 75 Minutes)  
Set the timer to the recommended cooking  
time (steaming times can be adjusted as per  
your experiment). The light turns on and  
steam comes in 35 seconds. The light will  
turn off when cooking is completed and the  
timer will give a signal bell.  
RICE BOWL  
CARE AND CLEANING  
Unplug cord from outlet. Before cleaning, allow Steamer to cool.  
Never immerse the Base, Cord or Plug in water.  
Empty the drip tray and the water reservoir. If there is a small amount  
of water remaining inside the water box, you can just turn the unit upside  
down and water will come out from the water inlet.  
Wash lid, steaming bowl, rice bowl and drip tray in hot, soapy water.  
Rinse and dry all parts, or wash on top rack of dishwasher.  
Clean reservoir with soapy water then wipe with damp cloth.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners  
The lower steaming bowl and the rice bowl can be stored inside the upper  
steaming bowl with the lid on top.  
In hard water areas, the scale may build up on the heating element. If scale  
is allowed to accumulate, the steam could turn off before the food is cooked.  
So, after 7-10 uses, pour 3 cups clear vinegar into the water reservoir then  
fill with water up to the HI level. Do not place lid, steaming bowl, rice bowl  
and drip tray in this procedure.  
Plug in and set timer to 20 minutes. When the timer rings, unplug cord from  
outlet. Allow the unit to cool completely before emptying the water reservoir.  
Use cold water to rinse the water reservoir several times.  
REHEATING: BREADS AND LEFTOVERS  
1. Do not wrap or cover when reheating breads.  
2. For leftovers, reheating times are based on foods at refrigerator temperatures.  
3. When reheating leftovers in the rice bowl, always spread leftovers evenly in  
RICE BOWL and use aluminum foil to cover.  
4. Experiment with your own leftovers.

RICE AND GRAINS  
1. There are many types of rice. Follow specific directions for variety used.  
2. Accurately measure rice and water then combine in rice bowl. Pour specified  
amount of water in water reservoir. Cover and steam.  
3. For softer rice, increase by 1 – 2 tablespoons the water mixed with rice  
by the specified amount of water on the chart. For firmer rice decrease  
water mixed with rice by the same amount.  
4. Check doneness and consistency of rice at minimum time specified  
for each type, stirring rice at the same time.  
5. When checking/stirring rice, be careful not to drip the condensate into the  
rice bowl which would reduce the quality and flavor of the steamed rice.  
6. Use only clean water in water reservoir  
7. Rice may be seasoned with salt, pepper or butter after steaming.  
VEGETABLES  
1. Clean the vegetables thoroughly. Cut off stems; trim, peel or chop if necessary.  
Smaller pieces steam faster than larger ones.  
2. Quantity, quality, freshness and size/uniformity, temperature of frozen food,  
may affect steam timing. Adjust water amounts and cooking time as desired.  
3. Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming.  
4. Some frozen vegetables should be placed in the rice bowl and covered with a  
piece of aluminum foil during steaming. The frozen foods should be separated  
or stirred after 10 – 12 minutes. Use a long-handled fork or spoon to separate  
or stir foods.  
FISH AND SEAFOOD  
1. Before steaming, clean and prepare fresh seafood and fish.  
2. Most fish and seafood cook very quickly. Steam in small portions  
or in amounts as specified.  
3. Clams, oysters and mussels may open at different times. Check the shells  
to avoid overcooking.  
4. You may steam fish fillets in the RICE BOWL. Serve steamed seafood and  
fish plain or use seasoned butter or margarine, lemon or favorite sauces.  
5. Adjust steaming times accordingly.  
6. You can steam fresh, frozen or fully-thawed seafood and fish in the  
RICE BOWL.
