CAUTION
a hazardous situation.
There is a small sieve inside the water tank. If the sieve becomes detached, keep it out
of the reach of children to prevent them from swallowing it.
AUTOMATIC SWITCH-OFF
The appliance switches off automatically after the set steaming time has elapsed.
BOIL-DRY PROTECTION
This food steamer is equipped with boil-dry protection. The boil-dry protection automatically
switches off the appliance if it is switched on when there is no water in the water tank
or if the
water runs out during use. Let the food steamer cool down for 10 minutes before you
use it again.
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Thoroughly clean the parts that come into contact with food before you use the appliance
for the first time (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).
2. Wipe the inside of the water tank with a damp cloth.
PREPARING FOR USE
1. Put the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface.
2. Fill the water tank with water up to the maximum level through the water inlet.
Only fill the water tank with water. Never put seasoning, oil, or other substances in the
water tank.
3. Place the drip tray on the water tank in the base.
Note: Never use the appliance without the drip tray.
4. If desired, put dried or fresh herbs or spices on the flavour booster to add extra flavour
to the food to be steamed.
Thyme, coriander, basil, dill, curry and tarragon are some of the exciting herbs and spices
that you can put on the flavour booster. You can combine them with garlic, caraway or
horseradish to enhance flavour without adding salt. We advise you to use 1/2 to 3tsp of
dried herbs or spices. Use more if you use fresh herbs or spices.
For suggested herbs or spices for various types of food, see the food steaming table in
chapter ‘Food table and steaming tips’.
Tip: If you use ground herbs or spices, rinse the drip tray to wet the flavour booster.
This prevents ground herbs or spices from falling through the openings of the flavour
booster.
5. Put the food to be steamed in one or more steaming bowls and/or in the soup/rice
bowl.
If you use steaming bowls 2 and 3 with their removable bottoms, always make sure the
raised edge of the bottom points upwards and that the bottom locks into place (‘click’).
Do not put too much food in the steaming bowls. Arrange the food with ample space
between the pieces to allow maximum steam flow.
Always place meat and poultry in the bottom steaming bowl, so that juices from raw or
partially cooked meat or poultry cannot drip onto other foods.
Place larger pieces of food and food that require a longer steaming time in the bottom
steaming bowl.
