Place food into the steaming trays ›fl·. According to the amount and kind of foods to be cooked, you can use one, two or three trays as they stack up on the top of each other. B.

Place the lid ⁄ on the upper steaming ring.

Plug into the electrical socket.

Refer to the cooking guide and adjust the timer Ê for the desired cooking time, the on/off light  will glow. Steaming will begin.

Do not remove the drip tray „ until it has cooled completely.

Before use Before using your steamer for the first time, wash all parts except the Steamer base/water reservoir Ë.

Fill the water reservoir Ë with pure water to the maximum level Á.

Do not use broth or other liquids. Do not add anything to the water in the reservoir. The system is designed for use with cold water only, do not use hot water.

Put the mantle È around the heater ‰.

Fit the drip tray „. The drip tray is used to collect juices so they can be used for gravies, sauces, soup or stock, etc.

B Use one tray for steaming one type of food such as peeled potatoes. Take care to arrange the food so that some of the holes in the bottom of the tray remain clear, allowing steam to flow.

B Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lower steaming tray. Place different foods in the upper and lower trays, but as condensation will drip from the upper tray be sure the flavours complement each other.

If steaming meat, fish or poultry together with vegetables, always place the meat, fish or poultry in the lower tray so that juices from the raw meat cannot drip onto other foods.

10 Using oven gloves or a cloth, promptly remove the steaming trays.

Refilling reservoir If steaming for a long period it may be necessary to add extra water.

B Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lower steaming tray.

Fill with water through the ‘add water hole’ ‚ by using a suitable filling jug.

Steaming times for food in the upper tray are usually slightly longer so allow an extra 3-5 minutes due to a large volume of food being cooked and due to extra time being needed to reach temperature. If foods with different cooking times are being steamed start the food with the longest cooking time in the lower tray. If steaming meat, fish or poultry together with vegetables, always place the meat, fish or poultry in the lower tray so that juices from raw or partially cooked meat cannot drip onto other foods.

Cooking rice The steamer comes with a container that allows you to cook rice to perfection. 1

Add rice and water to the rice bowl ¤ in equal pr oportions.

Useful hints and tips

To equalise cooking times in all tiers, use the steam tube Í.

Always ensure meat is placed below other food types.

Only use when you want to steam a large quantity of one type of food.

Fit the steaming tube Í to the drip tray „.

Steaming times stated in the cooking guide are only a guide. Times may vary depending on size of the food pieces, spacing of the food in the steamer tray, quantity of food, freshness of food and personal preference. As you become familiar with the steamer, adjust the cooking times as necessary.

Place the bottom steaming tray · over the steaming tube Í and align the tube to the hole in the bottom of the tray ·.

A single tray of food steams faster than with 2 or 3 trays in use. Therefore, the cooking time for a larger quantity of food will be longer.

Arrange the food within the tier.

For best results, be sure pieces of food are similar in size. If pieces vary in size and layering is required, place smaller pieces on top.

Fit the other tiers in the same way. •

Refer to the cooking guide and set the timer Ê for the desired time.

Do not crowd food in the steaming trays or rice bowl ¤. Arrange the food with spaces between pieces to allow for maximum steam flow.

After the set time the bell will ring and the steamer will switch off automatically.

Always use the drip tray „ to prevent drips splashing.

Never steam meat, poultry or seafood from frozen. Always completely thaw first.
