HINTS AND TIPS

• Do not overfill the appliance. Always leave a space of around 2.5cm from the top of the bowl to allow for expansion and for the contents to boil.
• Only use plastic or wooden utensils for stirring etc. Metal utensils will damage the non-stick surface of the bowl.
• Use oven mitts when handling the lid, bowl or steaming basket as they will become very hot during cooking and remain hot for some time afterwards. Exercise caution at all times.
• To prevent a hazard occurring, always remove the lid slowly with the inside of the lid directed away from you and other persons so that the steam escapes gradually. Condensation dropping from the inside of the lid will also be hot.

3. Wipe all surfaces of the base unit with a clean damp cloth.
