4. Put a maximum of 14 sausages with a diameter of 2.5 cm into the steamer. The sausages must not be longer than 13.5 cm, so that the lid seals the steamer properly. Do not overfill the steamer since otherwise the appliance cannot function properly and the sausages will not become hot.

5. Place the lid onto the steamer.

6. Push the bread roll onto the spike.
7. Connect the mains plug to a properly installed earthed socket.
8. Set both switches to the "I" position. The control lamps of the switches light up.

2. Set the switch to "O" position. Pull the bread roll from the spike. Push the hot sausage into the cavity in the bread roll.
