• This appliance is designed for household use processing household quantities (see processing tables).
• Use the steam basket (⑤) only together with the drip pan (④). Always use the black insert (⑤) when steaming food with colour (e.g. carrots, paprika, tomatoes, etc.), in order to minimize permanent colouring of the white steam basket (⑤).
• Remove the black rice bowl (⑥) or the black insert (⑤) only together with the steam basket (⑤) from the drip pan (④). Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Never immerse the base (①) into water.
• Never touch the appliance without potholders or kitchen gloves, and do not use the appliance without the cover ⑦.

Always pull the plug when you have finished using the appliance.
• When using the appliance ensure sufficient room over and beside the appliance, in order to prevent damage to e.g. cabinets or other objects.
• When using the appliance place it on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface.

Notice: Clean all parts before the first use as described under «Cleaning».

Steaming

1. Fill the base ① with cold tap water and put the steam accelerator ⑧ 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 (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 ⑤ when steaming food with colour (e.g. carrots, paprika, tomatoes, etc.) in order to minimize permanent colouring of the white steam basket ⑤ .

Model FS 20: When using both steam baskets ⑤ the black insert ⑧ or the black rice bowl ⑥ can only be used in the upper steam basket.

Steaming in the black rice bowl (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 ⑦ onto the steam basket. Without the cover in place, the consumption of electrical power would be higher and the steaming time longer. Model FS 20: 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 ⑥ . To do this first turn the knob to 60 minutes and then back to the desired steaming time. The pilot light ① illuminates and steaming begins.
5. After the selected steaming time is over, the appliance switches off automatically and the pilot light ① goes out.
6. Check whether the food is cooked. Put on long kitchen gloves. Switch the appliance off.

Lift the cover ⑦ 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 ⑦ and switch the appliance on again.

Model FS 20 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 ⑦

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 ⑦ serves as a stand for the steam basket. Remove the food from the steam basket or the rice bowl and spice it as desired. Model FS 20: For disassembling, see Point 7.
2. The liquids that 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 18 minutes, fill the base up to the minimum water fill line ③ . When steaming longer than 18 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 MultiGourmet 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 (e.g., model FS 10). 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.

Tips for steaming with the model FS 20: 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.

Fill the base with white household vinegar (5%) so that the heating element is just covered. Put the steam accelerator ⑧ 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.
