Frequently Asked Questions - TributeCollection FS 3000 BRAUN

What is the capacity of the Braun TributeCollection FS 3000 rice cooker?

The cooker has a capacity of 1.8 liters, allowing it to cook up to 10 cups of cooked rice (about 1 kg of uncooked rice).

How to cook rice with this cooker?

Rinse the rice, place it in the bowl with the corresponding amount of water (measuring cup provided), close the lid, then press the switch. The cooking indicator light turns on and the appliance automatically switches to keep warm once cooking is complete.

Can I use the steam basket to cook vegetables?

Yes, place the vegetables in the steam basket above the rice during cooking. The steam from the rice will cook them simultaneously.

How to clean the non-stick bowl?

Allow to cool, remove the bowl and wash it with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Avoid abrasive sponges to preserve the coating.

What to do if the rice sticks to the bottom?

Make sure to respect the water/rice ratio (usually 1 volume of rice to 1.5 volumes of water). Excess water or too long cooking time can cause sticking. The non-stick coating makes cleaning easier.

Steaming

1. Fill the base ① with cold tap water and put the steam accelerator ⑦ in place. Do not add any spices, sauces, wine etc. to the water. The water quantity needed (maximum or minimum water fill line) depends on the selected steaming time.

Steaming in the steam basket ⑤ (e.g. vegetables, fish)

Put the food into the steam basket with slots ⑤. Add spices when steaming is finished.

Always use the black insert ⑤a when steaming food with colour (e. g. carrots, paprika, tomatoes, etc.), in order to minimize permanent colouring of the white steam basket ⑤. When using both steam baskets ⑤ the black insert ⑤a or the black rice bowl ⑤b can only be used in the upper steam basket.

Steaming in the black rice bowl ⑤b (e. g. rice, bakes)

Put the rice/grains with a liquid if necessary into the rice bowl. Place the rice bowl into the steam basket.

1. Place the filled steam basket onto the drip pan ④ in the base ① and set the cover ⑥ onto the steam basket. Without the cover in place, both consumption of electrical power and steaming time increase. When using both steam baskets, place the second steam basket with its drip pan on the lower steam basket.

2. When using the steamer ensure sufficient vertical and horizontal space to other objects (shelves etc.).

3. Plug the cord into a mains socket.

4. Set the timer ⑨. To do this first turn the knob to 60 minutes and then back to the desired steaming time. The pilot light ⑩ illuminates and steaming begins.

5. After the selected steaming time is over, the appliance switches off automatically, the pilot light turns off and the bell of the timer is ringing.

6. Check whether the food is cooked. Put on long kitchen gloves. Switch the appliance off by turning the knob back to «0». Lift the cover ⑥ being careful of escaping steam. Do not touch any hot parts. Check the food using a long fork. If you want to continue steaming put on the cover and switch the appliance on again by turning the knob and setting the remaining time.

When using both steam baskets:

To check whether the food is cooked in the lower steam basket proceed as follows. Switch the appliance off and remove the cover ⑥.

Carefully lift off the upper steam basket (with the black insert) and place it on the reverse side of the cover. Then, using kitchen gloves, carefully remove the drip pan from the lower steam basket and check whether the food is cooked.

If you want to continue steaming in both steam baskets, first place the drip pan onto the lower steam basket and then put on the upper steam basket with the cover. Switch on the appliance again.

1. When the appliance switches itself off and the food is sufficiently cooked pull the plug and let the appliance cool off slightly. Then remove the steam basket, the black rice bowl or the black insert together with the steam basket, using kitchen gloves. The reserve side of the cover ⑥ serves as stand for the steam basket. Remove the food from the steam basket or the rice bowl and spice it as desired. For disassembling see Point 7.

2. The liquids which have dripped into the drip pan ④ can be used for sauces or soup.

3. Before you pour out remaining water from the base ①, disassemble or clean the appliance, always let it cool off. Pull the plug.

Water quantities

The water quantity needed depends on the steaming time. When steaming up to 20 minutes fill the base up to the minimum water fill line ③. When you are steaming longer than 20 minutes, fill to the maximum water fill line ②. Ensure a sufficient water level, especially if the steaming time was extended. Should no more steam develop, please check the water level. To do so, pull the plug and let the appliance cool off somewhat. Lift the steam basket and the drip pan carefully, and add water.

Notice: All parts are designed for use in the Braun FS 3000 only. Do not put them into a conventional oven or a microwave oven.

Steaming in the steam basket ⑤ and in the black rice bowl ⑥

Notice: The quantities and processing times are approximate for steaming in one steam basket.

The steaming times listed in the charts also apply when steaming smaller quantities.

When steaming larger quantities the steaming times may be somewhat longer if there is not enough space to permit sufficient steam circulation.

The steaming times in the upper steam basket are longer. Therefore,

• steam larger pieces or food with longer steaming times in the lower steam basket.
• When steaming different kinds of food with different steaming times: Steam food with a longer steam time in the lower steam basket. After some time place the steam basket containing food with a shorter steaming time on top of the lower steam basket for steaming.

Storage

For easy storage after use, the baskets can be stacked inside each other ¹² .

Please see the corresponding marks (I & II); basket I fits into basket II.

The power cord can be stored as shown in pic. ⑪.

Decalcifying

After you have used your steamer several times (depending on the water hardness in your housing area), the heater ⑧ in the base ① is covered by a layer. The appliance should now be decalcified. Fill the base with white household vinegar (5 %) so that the heating element is just covered. Put the steam accelerator ⑦ in place. Close the appliance, connect it to the mains and set the time to 15 minutes. Should there still be a layer visible after the 15 minutes are over, repeat the procedure. After the vinegar and the appliance have sufficiently cooled off empty the base. Rinse the base ① 3 to 4 times with warm water. Any remaining calcium can be removed from the steam accelerator with a brush.

Subject to change without notice.

Please do not dispose of the product in the household waste at the end of its useful life. Disposal can take place at a Braun Service Centre or at appropriate collection points provided in your country.
