Steaming
1.Fill the base 1 with cold tap water and put the steam accelerator 8 in place. Do not add any spices, sauces, wine etc. to the water. The water quantity needed (maximum or minimum water fill line) depends on the selected steaming time.
Steaming in the steam basket 5 (e.g. vegetables, fish)
Put the food into the steam basket with slots 5. If you want to cook various foods,
2 dividers E can be inserted into the steam basket 5. They prevent different foods being mixed. Add spices when steaming is finished. Always use the black insert e when steaming food with colour (e. g. carrots, paprika, tomatoes, etc.), in order to minimize permanent colouring of the white steam basket 5. The dividers E cannot be used in the black insert e.
Model FS 20: When using both steam bas- kets 5 the black insert e or the black rice bowl 6 can only be used in the upper steam basket.
Steaming in the black rice bowl 6 (e. g. rice, bakes)
Put the rice/grains with a liquid if necessary into the rice bowl. Place the rice bowl into the steam basket. The dividers E cannot be used in the black rice bowl.
2.Place the filled steam basket onto the drip pan 4 in the base 1 and set the cover 7 onto the steam basket. Without the cover in place, the consumption of electrical power would be higher and the steaming time longer.
Model FS 20: When using both steam baskets, place the second steam basket with its drip pan on the lower steam basket.
3.When using the steamer ensure sufficient vertical and horizontal space to other objects (shelves etc.).
4.Plug the cord into a mains socket.
5.Set the timer 0. To do this first turn the knob to 60 minutes and then back to the desired steaming time. The pilot light q illuminates and steaming begins.
6.After the selected steaming time is over, the appliance switches off automatically and the pilot light q goes out.
7.Check whether the food is cooked. Put on long kitchen gloves. Switchs the appliance off. Lift the cover 7 being careful of escaping steam. Do not touch any hot parts. Check the food using a long fork.
If you want to continue steaming put on the cover 7 and switch the appliance on again. Model FS 20 when using both steam baskets: To check whether the food is cooked in the lower steam basket proceed as follows. Switch the appliance off and remove the cover 7. Carefully lift off the upper steam basket (with the black insert) and place it on the reverse side of the cover. Then, using kitchen gloves, carefully remove the drip pan from the lower steam basket and check whether the food is cooked.
If you want to continue steaming in both steam baskets, first place the drip pan onto the lower steam basket and then put on the upper steam basket with the cover. Switch on the appliance again.
8.When the appliance switches itself off and
the food is sufficiently cooked pull the plug and let the appliance cool off slightly. Then remove the steam basket, the black rice bowl or the black insert together with the steam basket, using kitchen gloves. The reserve side of the cover 7 serves as stand for the steam basket. Remove the food from the steam basket or the rice bowl and spice it as desired.
Model FS 20: For disassembling see Point 7.
9.The liquids which have dripped into the drip pan 4 can be used for sauces or soup.
10.Before you pour out remaining water
from the base 1, disassemble or clean the appliance, always let it cool off. Pull the plug.
Water quantities
The water quantity needed depends on the steaming time. When steaming up to 18 min- utes fill the base up to the minimum water fill line 3. When you are steaming longer than
18 minutes, fill to the maximum water fill line 2. Ensure a sufficient water level, especially if the steaming time was extended. Should no more steam develop, please check the water level. To do so, pull the plug and let the appliance cool off somewhat. Lift the steam basket and the drip pan carefully, and add water.
