What are the cooking times for rice?

Times vary by rice type: white rice 45-50 min, long grain rice 50-55 min, brown rice 40-45 min, instant rice 12-15 min. Add the corresponding amount of water (1.5 to 2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice). Follow the cooking time table.

Can I wash the baskets in the dishwasher?

Yes, all removable accessories (baskets, lid, drip tray, rice basket) are dishwasher-safe. The base should only be cleaned with a damp cloth.

What to do if the appliance does not turn on?

First check the power outlet and connection. If the overheat protection has been triggered, unplug the appliance, let it cool down, then reuse it with water. Never attempt to repair it yourself.

How to descale the appliance?

Wipe off limescale deposits with a cloth soaked in vinegar. For the steam generator, use a descaling agent in the base, leave overnight, then rinse thoroughly. Do not operate the appliance while descaling.

Can I cook eggs in this steamer?

6. Operating the appli- ance

6.1 Cooking

FIRE HAZARD!

Before turning the device on, place it on a level, stable, dry, heat-resistant surface.

DANGER! Risk of injury through burning!

- The surfaces of the device become very hot during operation. During operation, only touch the time selector 10 and handles 6 of the device.

WARNING! Risk of material damage!

- Never operate the steam cooker without a steamer basket 3.

NOTE:

- the lid 1 fits on all three steamer baskets 3. Therefore, you can also use steamer basket 1, steamer basket 2 or steamer basket 3 separately.

- The maximum filling volume (1.2 l) is sufficient for a cooking time of approx. 60 minutes.

1. Take collector 5 out of bottom part 9.

2. Pour clean drinking water into bottom part 9:

- the filling volume is 350 ml to 1.2 l;

- figure A: ensure that the water level on water level indicator 12 is always between MIN and MAX;

- figure B: with collector 5 in place, you can also pour in water via handles with filling opening 6.

1. Figure E: place the steam sleeve 7 onto the steam generator 13 in such a way that the recess 8 on the steam sleeve points to the front left corner (in the direction of the water level indicator 12).

2. Put collector 5 in bottom part 9.

3. Put the food for cooking in steamer baskets 3. You can use 1, 2 or 3 steamer baskets. Ensure that not all the holes in the base of the steamer baskets 3 are covered, so that the steam can pass through freely.

4. Place steamer baskets 3 on bottom part 9. Ensure that the steamer baskets 3 are in the right sequence, as they are slightly different sizes. Order from top to bottom: steamer basket 3 on top of steamer basket 2, steamer basket 2 on top of steamer basket 1. Steamer basket 3 cannot be directly placed on top of steamer basket 1. The number of the steamer basket 15 is shown on its handles.

5. Place lid 1 on the top steamer basket.

6. Insert the power supply plug 14 in a suitable earthed power supply socket.

7. Select the desired cooking time on time selector 10.

8. The appliance starts heating up and operating display 11 comes on.

NOTE: Always turn the timer control 10 until the operating display 11 lights up. You can then turn the timer control back to a lower cooking time. This is the only way to ensure that an acoustic signal is issued after a short cooking time.

6.2 Checking whether the food is cooked

DANGER! Risk of injury through scalding!

Do not lean over the steam cooker ... ... when you open the lid 1 and the contents are still hot, and ... when hot steam is coming out of the steam vents 16.

Ensure you do not cook foods for too long, otherwise vegetables become too soft and meat and fish may become over-dry and tough. To check the state of the food during cooking, proceed as outlined below:

1. Carefully open the lid 1 by lifting it slightly at the back first, so that the steam can escape away from you.

2. Take the lid 1 right off.

3. Use a relatively long skewer or fork to check the state of the food being cooked.

- If the food being cooked is ready, turn time selector 10 to "0" to switch off the appliance.

- If the food being cooked is not yet ready, put the lid 1 back on and allow the appliance to continue working.

- If the set time has elapsed before the food being cooked is ready, set time selector 10 to the new time required to continue the cooking process. To be on the safe side, check the water level on water level indicator 12.

6.3 Topping up the water

If the water level on water level indicator 12 drops below the MIN marking during operation, you must top up the water so that the appliance does not run dry and overheat.

1. Put clean drinking water in a suitable pouring vessel.
2. Figure B: Pour the water through the filling opening in handles 6 in bottom part 9.

6.4 Ending operation

DANGER! Risk of injury through scalding!

- The condensate in collector 5 is hot. Allow it to cool down before you take out collector 5, so that you do not accidentally scald yourself.

1. Once the set cooking time has elapsed, an alarm sounds and the appliance switches off.
2. If you want to switch off the appliance before the set cooking time has elapsed, turn time selector 10 to "0".
3. Wait briefly until the steam in the appliance has dissipated.
4. Remove steamer baskets 3 with the cooked food.
5. Clean the appliance carefully after use (see "Cleaning and storing" on page 39).

6.5 Thermal cut-out

The appliance is protected against overheating. As soon as all the water in bottom part 9 has gone, making the temperature too high, the appliance switches off automatically.

• In this case, pull out the power supply plug 14 and allow the device to cool.
• You can then run the appliance again with water in it.

7. Hints on cooking with the steamer

DANGER! Risk of injury through scalding!

- Do not lean over the steam cooker ... ... when you open the lid 1 and the contents are still hot, and ... when hot steam is coming out of the steam vents 16.

Steaming is one of the healthiest ways of cooking food. Not only are the nutrients and colour of foods largely retained, the natural flavour and bite of food cooked this way make it a pleasure to eat. This means that salt, fat and seasoning can be used sparingly. Steaming is thus especially recommended for the preparation of baby food.

7.1 Using steamer baskets

Depending on requirements, 1, 2 or all 3 steamer baskets 3 can be used. The steamer baskets 3 are different sizes and numbered. The relevant number 15 is on the handle of the steamer basket 3. Order from top to bottom: steamer basket 3 on top of steamer basket 2, steamer basket 2 on top of steamer basket 1. Steamer basket 3 cannot be directly placed on top of steamer basket 1.

Figure C: The sequence is precisely reversed for storing, when the steamer baskets 3 fit inside one another to save space.

7.2 Boiling eggs

The steamer can also be used to boil eggs. For this purpose, there are 6 depressions in the base of each steamer basket 3 into which you can place the eggs. If you use all 3 steamer baskets 3, this means you can boil up to 18 eggs at once. Please note when doing this that the eggs in the bottom steamer basket will be ready somewhat sooner than the eggs in the steamer baskets above.

7.3 Cooking rice and liquids

Sauces or other liquids, fruit and rice can be heated and cooked in rice tray 2 supplied.

1. Put the rice, the right amount of water and a pinch of salt in rice tray 2.
2. Put the rice tray 2 in any steamer basket 3.

NOTE: If you are using several steamer baskets 3, the rice tray 2 should be placed in the top basket so that nothing drips into the rice.

1. Stir the rice occasionally.

7.4 Preparing whole meals

If you are preparing a whole meal and are therefore using several steamer baskets 3 one above the other, please note that:

• the heaviest food for cooking should be cooked in the bottom basket 3 if at all possible.
• as the steam acts most effectively in the bottom steamer basket and less so as it travels upwards, cooking time in the upper baskets is extended by a few minutes. You should therefore follow the

instructions in "Checking whether the food is cooked" on page 31".

• stir or rearrange the cooking food occasionally with a long cooking spoon.
• Put the food which is going to take longest to cook in steamer basket 1. Exception: meat and fish should always be cooked in the bottom steamer basket 3 so that dripping juices do not run over the other foods.
• Put this steamer basket 3 in the steamer and start cooking (see "Cooking" on page 30).
• Fill steamer basket 2 with the food which will take a moderate time to cook.
• Carefully open the lid 1 by lifting it slightly at the back first, so that the steam can escape away from you.
• Take the lid 1 right off.
• Put steamer basket 2 on steamer basket 1 and close the lid 1 again.
• Fill steamer basket 3 with the food which will take the least time to cook.
• Proceed as for steamer basket 2.

8. Cooking times

The times quoted in the tables are intended as a guide. Actual cooking time depends on:

• the size and freshness of the foods;
• how full the steamer baskets 3 are;
- the position of the steamer basket 3 (top or bottom);
- the temperature of the water (the times quoted assume cold water. Cooking time is slightly reduced with hot water);
- personal preference (food with bite or soft).

NOTES:

• Stir or rearrange the cooking food occasionally with a long cooking spoon.
• Ensure that all the pieces are about the same size. Arrange smaller pieces on top.
• Do not over-fill the steamer baskets 3 by packing food in too tightly or covering all the holes. It must be possible for steam to pass everywhere between the pieces and through the holes in the bases of the steamer baskets 3.

8.1 Cooking times - vegetables

• Prepare the vegetables by cutting off thick stalks and cutting large vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
- Leafy vegetables should be cooked for as short a time as possible so that they retain their colour.
- Do not season vegetables until they are cooked.
- Frozen vegetables can be cooked like fresh ones. For many vegetables, cooking time is extended by a few minutes when they are frozen.

• Select only lean, soft meat and remove all the fat from it.
• The pieces of meat should not be too thick. Meat suitable for grilling is also good for steaming.

• Any fat still in the meat is reduced further by the steaming process.

• Poultry, in particular, needs to be cooked right through to prevent the risk of salmonella infection.

• Pierce sausages to stop them bursting.
• Steam-cooking is not suitable for raw sausage. Sausage needs to have been boiled already (e.g. bockwurst, wieners etc.).
