Refer to the chapter “Cleaning and descaling”. 3 We recommend running one steaming cycle with an empty jar before using the appliance for the rst time. Refer to chapters “Filling the water tank” and “Steaming”. Using the appliance Caution

• Always check the temperature of the cooked food on the back of your hand to make sure it is safe for your baby. This appliance is intended for steaming fresh, solid ingredients and blending them to the consistency of your choice. Please refer to the enclosed recipe booklet for some tasty and nutritious recipe ideas. The appliance can also be used for just steaming or blending only. For blending only, refer to the chapter “Blending without steaming”. This appliance can also be used to defrost or reheat cooked food that has been stored in the specially designed storage pots. Always use these storage pots to defrost or reheat blended foods. Defrosting or reheating without the storage pots will cause the food to drop through the sieve into the jar lid. Never put the jar with blended food inside in the steaming position on the main unit. Never steam the same batch of raw ingredients for longer than 30 minutes or more than once. This appliance is NOT intended for the following purposes. - Steaming frozen raw ingredients - Steaming previously blended food without the storage pot - Steaming the same ingredients for more than 30 minutes - Cooking rice and pasta - Blending rst, then steaming - Heating or reheating liquids such as soup, sauces or water - Keeping food warm for several hours - Cutting hard ingredients such as ice cubes and sugar cubes, or sticky ingredients like cheese13ENGLISH Filling the water tank Note

• Make sure that the water in the tank does not exceed the MAX water level marking on the side of the water tank (250 ml) or the MAX water level indication in the water tank.

• We recommend using soft or puried water, as the minerals in mineral or tap water cause limescale buildup to occur more quickly inside the water tank.

• Except for materials needed for descaling, never put any liquids other than water in the water tank. 1 Turn the water tank lid counterclockwise to open the water tank (g d), then follow the water level markings on the water tank and ll with water to the required level according to the chapter “Ingredients and steaming time” in the user manual or the enclosed recipe booklet (Fig. e). 2 Put the water tank lid on the water tank and turn the lid clockwise to lock it securely in place (Fig. f). » When the water tank lid is correctly locked in place, the icon on the water tank lid will line up with the icon on the water tank. Note

• Always make sure that you have locked the water tank lid before the appliance starts operating. Steaming Caution

• Hot steam or hot water can burn your ngers. Do not touch, and never let children touch any hot parts of the appliance or the steam coming from the top of the appliance, as this may cause scalding. (Fig. g). Note
