Philips Aluminium Collection Cuiseur Vapeur - Manual (Page 12)

- Use a kitchen utensil with long handles to remove the food from the
steaming bowls.
- When you remove a steaming bowl, let condensation drip off the bowl
in the underlying steaming bowl or the drip tray.
5 Remove the plug from the wall socket and let the steamer cool
down completely before you remove the drip tray (1).
Be careful when you remove the drip tray (1), because the water in the
water tank and the drip tray may still be hot, even if the other parts of
the appliance have cooled down already.
Handle the drip tray (1) with care, as its outside may be slippery.
6 Empty the water tank after each use through the spout on the side
of the base.
Note: If you want to steam more food, use fresh water.
steaming multiple ingredients
If you want to steam foods that require different steaming times, follow the
instructions below:
1 Set the timer to the longest steaming time.
2 Put the food with the longest steaming time in the small steaming
bowl (2) and the food with the shorter steaming time in the medium
steaming bowl (3).
3 Put the drip tray (1) and the small steaming bowl (2) on the base
and put the lid on top of the bowl.
4 Press the START/STOP button to start the steaming process until
the remaining steaming time on the display is equal to the shortest
steaming time.
5 Carefully remove the lid with oven mitts and place the medium
steaming bowl (3) on top of the small steaming bowl (2).
6 Put the lid on the medium steaming bowl (3) and let the steaming
process continue until the set steaming time has elapsed.
This process can also be applied if you have three kinds of food with
different steaming times.
gentle steam mode
The Gentle Steam mode steams food at a gentle temperature of around
80°C, which is an ideal cooking temperature for fish. At this temperature
the delicate structure and flavour of fish is preserved.
We advise you to use only one steaming bowl directly on the base when
you want to steam food in the Gentle Steam mode, as this guarantees the
best results in this mode.
Note: The Gentle Steam mode only works when the control knob is set to the
preset steaming mode for fish.
Note: If you use the fish/rice bowl (5) in the Gentle Steam mode, the steaming
time will be longer. Check if the prepared fish is done before serving.
