to use your steamer

Keep your steamer away from walls and overhanging cupboards: the steam could damage them.

Season food after cooking. If seasoning gets into the water, it could damage the heating element.

See the cooking guides on pages 6 and 7.

1Fit the strainer inside the water tank. (It stops particles getting into the element.)

2Pour cold water into the tank. Always make sure the water is between the ‘Min’ and ‘Max’ levels marked. (When filled to ‘Max’, this will produce steam for approximately 60 minutes.)

The steamer is fitted with an anti limescale coated heating element to prolong the life and efficiency of your steamer. However, depending upon the water hardness of your area, we recommend the use of filtered water. (Kenwood water filters are widely available).

Don't add anything (even salt or pepper) to the water – it could damage the heating element.

To avoid the water level dropping below ‘Min’, you can top up during cooking. Simply add water via the exterior fill funnel, taking care not to overfill.

3Sit the drip tray onto the base making sure the handles fit over the grooves in the base.

4Fit the removable trays, rim uppermost into their corresponding basket rings - both parts are numbered to assist with this.

5Place the disc in the centre of tray 2.

6Add the food, then stack the baskets on the base, starting with the lowest numbered basket at the bottom and the highest number at

the top .

using the rice bowl

Put water and rice in the rice bowl. Put the rice bowl into a basket. (You can also cook something in the other baskets if required).

7Fit the lid, plug in. The whole display will illuminate and the buzzer will sound. (Should the display fail to illuminate press the ‘START’ button.)

to select from the menu Press the ‘MENU’ button, and each time the button is pressed the menu will scroll around to display a pre-set time and suggested usage. The choices are as follows:- 10 minutes ‘KEEP WARM’, then to cook the following, shellfish 10 minutes, eggs 12 minutes, fish 15 minutes, vegetables 20 minutes, chicken portions 35 minutes and rice 40 minutes. Once the time is displayed on the menu it can if necessary be adjusted higher or lower using the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons. Once the desired time has been selected press the ‘START’ (I) button.

To stop the steaming process press and hold down the ‘STOP’ (O) button.

to select a time
