The thermostat will cycle on and off till you remember to add water, or till the timer returns to 0 and switches off. Unplug the base unit, let it cool for a couple of minutes, then fill the reservoir with water and start again.

HINTS, TIPS AND FOOD SAFETY Don’t worry too much about overcooking. steaming is a relatively gentle cooking method and a few minutes extra generally won’t matter. To allow the steam to circulate: a) Pack food loosely in the baskets. D) When layering food in a basket, leave spaces between the pieces in each layer to let the steam circulate through the layers. Ensure the water level always remain above the Min mark of the water level window. Stir food halfway through a longer steam cycle for more even steaming. Foods that require longer cooking times should be placed in lower steaming baskets.
