Before use

Before using your steamer for the first time, wash all parts except the main unit.

Using

1Fill the water reservoir with pure water to the maximum level.

•Do not use broth or other liquids. Do not add anything to the water in the reservoir. The system is designed for use with cold water only, do not use hot water.

2Put the mantle around the heater.

3Fit the drip tray. The drip tray is used to collect juices so they can be used for

gravies, sauces, soup or stock, etc.

4Fit the clear rings to the steamer trays.

5 Place food into the steaming bowls. According to the amount and kind of foods to be cooked, you can use one, two or three bowls as they stack up on the top of each other. (see diagram below).

6 Place the lid on the upper steaming bowl.

7 Plug into the electrical socket.

8 Refer to the cooking guide and adjust the timer for the desired cooking time, the on/off light will glow. Steaming will begin.

9 After the set time the on/off light will go out, the bell will ring and the steamer will switch off automatically. Using oven gloves or a cloth promptly remove the steaming bowls.

•Do not remove the drip tray until it has cooled completely.

Configurations

Single bowl

Use one bowl for steaming one type of food such as peeled potatoes. Take care to arrange the food so that some of the holes in the bottom of the bowl remain clear, allowing steam to flow.

Two bowls

Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lower steaming bowl. Place different foods in the upper and lower bowls, but as condensation will drip from the upper bowl be sure the flavours complement each other.

If steaming meat, fish or poultry together with vegetables, always place the meat, fish or poultry in the lower bowl so that juices from the raw meat cannot drip onto other foods.

Three bowls

Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lower steaming bowl.

Steaming times for food in the upper bowl are usually slightly longer so allow an extra 3-5 minutes due to a large volume of food being cooked and due to extra time being needed to reach temperature.
