How To Use

COOKING IN THE STEAMING BOWL 

(See Steaming Guide for suggested cooking times, techniques and water fill levels.)

  1. Fill the Water Reservoir with cold tap water to the appropriate fill line (LO or MAX FILL – see inset illustration). IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the MAX FILL line. Overfilling will prevent “Fast Steam” and increase cooking times. NOTE: For extra flavor, you may add chicken broth or white wine to the water in the Reservoir. Beer, red wine, oil, extracts (i.e. vanilla) or fruit juices are not recommended as they may stain or harm the plastic or heater.
  2. Hold the Drip Tray by the handle and place it into the Base. (A)
  3. Place herbs or spices in the Flavor Scenter Screen for added flavor. (B) (See ”Flavor Scenter Tips“). You may use the Drip Tray without adding herbs to the Flavor Scenter if you prefer.
  4. Place food in the Steaming Bowl and cover it so that the Cover handles line up over the Bowl handles and the tabs fit properly into the openings.

    2.png
  5. Put the Steaming Bowl onto the Base, plug in the cord and set the Timer for the desired cooking time, up to 75 minutes. When the time is up, a bell will ring, the cooking Light will go out, and the unit will automatically shut off. Some liquid may remain in the reservoir. 
    NOTE: If the desired cooking time is less than 15 minutes, first turn the Timer past 15 and then turn it back to the desired cooking time.
  6. When cooking in the Rice Bowl, add rice, herbs, seasonings and water directly to the Bowl and fill the Water Reservoir to the appropriate line. Put the Steaming Bowl onto the Base and place the Rice Bowl with contents into the Steaming Bowl. (C)

  7. Use pot holders when lifting the Steaming Bowl, Drip Tray, or Rice Bowl by its handles after steaming. Lift the cover AWAY from your face and body to avoid escaping steam.
  8. The Rice Bowl can also be used for cooking vegetables or other foods with sauces, poaching chicken or fish in liquids, or reheating foods like casseroles. 
    NOTE: Use the Drip Tray whenever the Rice Bowl is not used. It prevents fats/juices from dripping into the water and bubbling up into the Steaming Bowl. If you like, save these juices for gravy, sauce, or soup starters.

FLAVOR SCENTER TIPS

Add fresh or dried herbs to the Flavor Scenter Screen to spice up healthy foods. Thyme, cilantro, basil, dill, curry, and tarragon are just a few herbs and spices along with garlic, caraway, or horseradish that enhance flavor with no need to add salt.

  • Try the suggested flavoring listed in the Steaming Guide or use your favorite herbs to create new combinations.
  • Flavor suggestions are for 1/2 to 3 (2.5 ml to 15 ml) teaspoons of dried herbs or spices. If using fresh herbs, chop leaves and triple the amount.
  • To prevent small herbs or ground spices from falling through the Flavor Scenter® Screen, rinse or wet the screen before adding seasonings.

  • Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
  • Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts or cleaning.

ELECTRICAL CORD 

The cord length of this appliance was selected to reduce safety hazards that may occur with a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension cord with a polarized plug may be used. It should be rated not less than 10 amperes, 120 volts, and have Underwriters Laboratories or Canadian Standards Association listing. When using a longer cord, be sure it does not drape over a working area or dangle where it could be pulled on or tripped over.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW 

This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

POLARIZED PLUG 

This appliance has a polarized plug — one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common problems and solutions for the Black & Decker Flavor Scenter Steamer HS2000:

  • Problem: The steamer doesn't turn on.
  • Solution: Make sure the steamer is plugged in and the power switch is on. Check the outlet for power and try using a different outlet if necessary.
