5.1 Heating Your Meal

1. Ensure your food is placed inside the stainless steel container and the lid is securely fastened.
2. Important: Open the exhaust cover (steam vent) located on the top of the lid before plugging in the device. This prevents pressure buildup and potential deformation.

6. Once heated, unplug the device from the power source.
7. Carefully open the lid, ensuring any remaining steam is released through the vent.
8. Enjoy your warm meal.
