6. Operating the appliance
6.1 Cooking
Warning! Only connect the
appliance to an earthed power
supply socket, as protection
against electric shock depends on
this.
1. Take collector 7 out of bottom part 12.
2. Pour clean drinking water into bottom
part 12:
– the quantity is 0.2 l to 1.2 l;
– ensure that the water level on water
level indicator 13 is always between
MIN and MAX;
– with collector 7 in place, you can also
pour in water via handles with filling
opening 9.
3. Put steam sleeve 8 on steam
generator 11. The narrow end of steam
sleeve 8 must face upwards.
4. Put collector 7 in bottom part 12.
5. Put the food for cooking in steamer
baskets 5. You can use 1, 2 or 3 steamer
baskets. Ensure that not all the holes in
the base of the steamer baskets are
covered, so that the steam can pass
through freely.
6. Place steamer baskets 5 on bottom
part 12:
– ensure that the steamer baskets are in
the right sequence, as they are slightly
different sizes. Steamer basket 1 is
always on the bottom, steamer basket
2 on top of it and steamer basket 3
right on top. The number of the
steamer basket is shown on its
handles.
7. Place lid 3 on the top steamer basket.
8. Insert the power supply plug in a
suitable earthed power supply socket
(see “3. Technical data” on page 78).
9. Select the desired cooking time on time
selector 14.
The appliance starts heating up and
operating display 15 comes on.
6.2 Checking whether food is cooked
Ensure you do not cook foods for too long,
otherwise vegetables become too soft and
meat and fish may become over-dry and
tough.
Warning! A cloud of hot steam
may escape if you remove the lid
without sufficient caution during the
cooking process.
To check the state of the food during
cooking, proceed as outlined below.
1. Carefully open the lid by lifting it slightly
at the back first, so that the steam can
escape away from you.
2. Take the lid right off.
3. Use a relatively long skewer or fork to
check the state of the food being
cooked.
– If the food being cooked is ready, turn
time selector 14 to "0" to switch off
the appliance.
– If the food being cooked is not yet
ready, put the lid back on and allow
the appliance to continue working.
– If the set time has elapsed before the
food being cooked is ready, set time
selector 14 to the new time required
to continue the cooking process. To be
on the safe side, check the water level
on water level indicator 13.
