Place the body of the steamer onto a at, stable surface near an easily accessible plug socket.

8. Once the timer has been set the steamer will start cooking.

9. If you need to stir the food halfway through cooking, lift the lid carefully to avoid any

steam that will billow out of the baskets.

10. If the water level gets too low during cooking, use a jug to slowly add warm/hot water

through the grooves/ the two handles on both sides of the body. If you add cold water it will lower the temperature inside the steamer and so the food will take longer to cook.8 9

nished. It will automatically switch off and stop cooking.

• Steaming times stated in the Cooking Guide are only a guide. Cooking times may vary depending on size of the food pieces, spacing of the food in the steamer baskets, quantity of food, freshness of food and personal preference to how well done you want something. As you become familiar with the steamer and the way it works, simply adjust the cooking times as necessary.

• A single tray of food steams faster than with 2 or 3 bowls used at the same time. Therefore, the more food you cook the longer you will need to cook it for.

• The smaller you cut the food, the quicker it will cook. Larger pieces of food will take longer, so try to make sure all the different foods are made to be similar in size.

• Do not over-ll or crowd the food baskets or rice bowl. Try to arrange food so that it is spread out and has space between the pieces to allow for the maximum steam to reach the food.

• Fat will naturally drain away from meat and poultry whilst cooking. However, for best results use small portions and trimming excess fat off beforehand.

• Always check food is piping hot and cooked through before serving. If the food seems uncooked or needs more time, simply put it back into the steamer and set the timer dial again to cook it for longer. Cooking Guide The cooking times below are to be used as a guide and should be adjusted according to the size you have cut the food, the basket/tier they are on and your personal preference on how you prefer your food to be.
