Frequently Asked Questions - DG 6 TEAM

How to use the DG 6 steamer?

Fill the tank with cold water to the desired level (between MIN and MAX). Place the food in the baskets, stack them with the large basket on top, and close the lid. Plug in the appliance, set the timer. The appliance turns off automatically with a bell when cooking is finished.

How much water should I put in the tank?

The water must be between the indicated MIN and MAX levels. The maximum amount provides about 25 minutes of steam. For longer cooking, you will need to refill during use.

Can I cook rice in this appliance?

Yes, use the provided rice bowl. Place the rice in the bowl, add a little water to speed up cooking, then place it in a steamer basket. Cooking times are given in the manual (white rice: 34-41 min, brown rice: 40-57 min).

How to clean the baskets?

Wash the baskets, drip tray and lid with soapy water and a soft sponge. Do not use abrasive products or pads that could scratch the surfaces. Never put these parts in the dishwasher. For the base, wipe it with a damp cloth without ever immersing it.

What to do if steam does not come out?

Check that the appliance is plugged in and the timer is set. Make sure there is enough water in the tank. If the problem persists, check that the drip tray and baskets are correctly positioned and that the lid is properly closed.

Can I cook frozen food?

Yes, it is not necessary to thaw food before cooking, but the cooking time will be longer. Refer to the instructions in the manual to adjust the time.

How to stack the baskets correctly?

The large basket (3 points) must always be on top. To stack an additional basket above the medium basket (2 points), first place the adapter ring on the edge of the medium basket. Always use the handles to carry the baskets.

Does the appliance turn off automatically?

Yes, when the programmed cooking time is over, a bell sounds and the power supply cuts off automatically. The appliance should not be used with an external timer.

Can I add spices to the water in the tank?

No, never pour herbs, spices, wine or broth into the tank water. This could damage the appliance. Add seasonings only after cooking, directly onto the food.

How to detach the bottom of the baskets for cleaning?

To detach the bottom, press it inward into the basket until it releases. To put it back, place it and press until it clicks. This makes it easier to clean hard-to-reach areas.

FIELD OF APPLICATION/OF OPERATION

• Use the appliance for domestic purposes only and in the way indicated in these instructions.
• This appliance is intended to be used for domestic applications and similar applications such as:

Kitchen corners reserved for personnel in shops, offices and other professional environments.

Farms.

The use by clients of hotels, motels and other environments with a residential character.

Environments of the "bed and breakfast" type.

- Make sure the appliance is unplugged. Fill water tank with cold water. To do so, pour the water through the filling opening at the handles (see page 4). The amount of water depends on the required cooking time. However, it is very important to respect the minimum and maximum level. Non-observance of this instruction could damage your appliance. Do not add any herbs, spices or other liquid such as wine or broth to the water in the water tank.

- Make sure the bottom of the baskets is properly attached, and place the food in the different steaming baskets. Do not add seasoning, herbs etc. until cooking has been completed.

• Make sure the heating element protection is fixed properly around the heating element.

- Then place the drip tray onto the water tank and pile up the steaming baskets, paying attention to always put the biggest basket on the highest level. The size of the baskets is indicated by dots on one of the handles of each basket. The smallest basket has one dot, the biggest basket has three dots. If you want to put a basket on top of the medium basket (with two dots), you should put the plastic ring on the edge of this basket first, otherwise it will be impossible to pile up the baskets correctly. Caution: always use the side handles to move the baskets. Never press on the bottom of the baskets, as you might detach it. Pay attention during the positioning of the accessories because if they are not placed correctly, steam may escape through the side of your appliance and may burn you.

- Place the lid on the last basket. DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE UNCOVERED -STEAM IS GENERATED DURING USE.

- Plug in the appliance.

- Set the timer by turning the timer knob clockwise to the desired time setting. The pilot light will come on to indicate that the appliance is switched on.

- When the preset cooking time has elapsed, a bell will ring and the power will be cut off. The maximum quantity of water in the tank of the heating base may generate steam for approximately 25 minutes. When the preset cooking time is longer than 25 minutes, you will have to refill the water tank during use. In order to know if the tank is empty, you will have to check if no more steam is escaping or you can look at the water level indicator on the base. To fill the tank, add cold water as described on page 4. At the beginning, steam will be produced (its quantity depends on the time the heating base has been switched off). Pay attention not to burn yourself.

- To check the food, wait until the steam has stopped escaping through the holes on the lid and then open the cover slowly, taking care to avoid the escaping steam and condensation. CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE STEAMING BASKET OR THE STEAMING UNIT. Using a long-handled utensil, check the food. If the food is not cooked, reset the timer and

11 TEAM DG 6-090414

steam production will start again. However, if the steaming unit requires more water, proceed as described on page 4.

• When the food is cooked, unplug and allow the appliance to cool slightly in order to eliminate all the steam. Carefully remove the steaming baskets using oven gloves or another thermal hand protection. DO NOT TOUCH THE STEAMING BASKET OR THE STEAMING UNIT UNTIL THEY HAVE COOLED. Remove the food and add seasonings, if desired.
• Allow any water to cool before emptying and cleaning.
• Your appliance is provided with a suitable container for rice and other small foodstuffs (e.g. semolina) that should not be placed in the translucent baskets because those are pierced.
• On the bottom of the translucent baskets there are hollow round housings especially conceived to place eggs for cooking.

Hints:

• When cooking rice, we advise you to cover it with hot water in order to accelerate the cooking process.
• It is possible to cook foodstuffs with very different cooking times but this needs frequent operations to take away the food that will be ready. To avoid this, it is recommended to prepare foodstuffs with similar cooking times.
• Frozen food does not need to be defrosted beforehand, but its cooking time will be longer.

CARE AND CLEANING

• The baskets, the drip tray and the lid may be washed with soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaners to clean your appliance: it could damage the surfaces.
• To simplify the cleaning of the baskets, it is possible to release their bottom. To do so, press on the bottom towards the inside of the basket. To reassemble them, proceed inversely, pressing the bottom down until you hear a click.
• The body of the appliance should be washed with a smooth cloth or with a slightly damp towelling.
• Never immerse the body in water or any other liquid.
