Operation

Before first use

Bear in mind the following instructions before steaming for the first time:

1Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories.

2When setting it up, a boiling point calibration must be carried out.

Note: Steaming without first conducting the boiling point calibration can cause the appliance to malfunction. It is possible that too much or too little steam is produced.

3After the boiling point calibration, fill the cooking basin with water up to the overflow edge and run the appliance at steam cooking level for

30 minutes to eliminate potential smells of newness. Drain the water and thoroughly dry the cooking basin.

Boiling point calibration

The boiling point is dependent upon air pressure. Since air pressure drops with increasing elevation, the boiling point drops as well.

Before steaming with the steamer for the first time, you have to conduct a boiling point calibration. The steamer then adapts to the air pressure of the installation site.

Conducting the boiling point calibration

1Fill cooking basin with cold water up to minimum mark. Put on glass cover.

2Turn temperature control knob to 200°F position.

3Within 5 seconds: Turn the same temperature

control knob back and forth two times between the ¥ and 200°F positions. Then turn the temperature control knob to the ¥ position.

The [ symbol blights during the boiling point calibration. As soon as the [ symbol stops blinking, the boiling point calibration is finished. It normally takes between 3 and 7 minutes.

Note: Extra steam may be produced during the boiling point calibration.

Turning on

Fill the cooking basin with cold water or another cooking liquid (fill with 1 - 4 liters, see cooking table). The cooking basin must not be filled with oil. The cooking basin must be filled at least to the minimum mark and at most to the overflow edge.

Turn the temperature control knob to the desired position. The set temperature is indicated on the display. The [ symbol lights up on the display as long as the appliance is heating up.

You can set the temperature from 100 - 200°F. For steaming, set the appliance for steam cooking level
