• Before use, put the steam boost insert (6) in the middle of the base of the appliance to speed up the heating process.
• Fill the base of the appliance with water below the MAX mark.
• Ensure there is sufficient water to avoid having to interrupt cooking. Water can be added during cooking if necessary.
  • Assemble the base with the ceramic pot, ensure it is fitted correctly.
• Place the food in the ceramic steaming pot. Do not add seasoning, herbs etc. until cooking has been completed. Use the grill rack if desired.

• Frozen food does not need to be defrosted, but its cooking time will be longer.
