SPROUT MAKING
Soak beans overnight in plenty of water (fully immersed) before being put into the sprout maker for sprouting. Open the Red Knob from the sprout maker and place the sprout maker on the main body of steemo multi steam cooker. Transfer the soaked beans along with water into the sprout maker.
After a while water starts flowing from the sprout maker to the main body of steemo in a short time after making the beans wet. In case it does not flow down to the main body, remove the Red Syphon Cap & clean the hole with a pin.
Beans take 12-24 hours for sprouting at a room temperature of 22-260C. A lower room temperature will delay the sprouting. Sprout maker should not be kept in the dark place for sprouting.
