• Only use the cooking container with this device and not as a saucepan or in a stove!
• The MAX marking must not be exceeded.

• Always fill the food into the cooking container and never into the device without an inner pot!

Getting started

1. Put the food in the cooking pot.

Please note that the filling level is between MIN and MAX and does not exceed or fall below them.

Place the cooking pot in the device.

1. Connect the device, beeps can be heard and "00:00" appears on the display.

2. Place the lid on the device and clos it according to the marking (No. 2) with a clockwise rotation.

To open the lid after the end of the cooking process, the pressure release button No. 6 must be pressed. Do not use force to open the lid! If the automatic pressure release "AON" is selected, the pressure is released automatically after the end of the program.

1. Select the desired automatic program with the rotary control No. 7. The corresponding symbol flashes on the display and the basic cooking time is displayed. If the program is not changed within 10 seconds, the device starts the basic program.

2. Changing cooking time / steam pressure

After selecting the program, changes in time or pressure must be made within 10 seconds.

Press the timer / pressure button No. 5, the time flashes in the display. The time can be changed from 00:01 minutes to 04:00 hours using the rotary control.

After 10 seconds the program starts with the changed time.

If you also want to change the pressure, press button No. 5 a second time. Use the rotary control to select the desired steam temperature between level 1 and 8. The device starts automatically and shows the set values on the display.

Note: The cooking time only begins to run as soon as the overpressure is reached.

If you want to change the timer or the pressure during the cooking process, press button No. 5 and change the values as described above.

• Sauté the food directly in the cooking pot before the lid is closed.
• Slow Cook does not require steam pressure. When the lid is put on, a small pressure builds up, which is regulated by the pressure valve at level 3.
• Frozen food takes 10 minutes longer.
• A beep sounds after the cooking time has expired. The steam pressure is automatically released. If there is no more steam pressure in the device, the lid lock opens automatically and the device switches to keep warm mode (70°C for max. 10 hours).
• If you want to change from the automatic pressure release "AON" set to the manual pressure release "AOFF", press the pressure release button (No. 6) and cancel (No. 8) together for 2 seconds.
• After the warm-up time has elapsed, the device switches to stand-by and then switches off finally after 5 minutes. Unplug it.

Note:

- If the lid is not closed properly, the display shows "LID".

When manually releasing the pressure, keep a sufficient distance from the pressure release valve. With the automatic pressure release, make sure that you are at a sufficient distance from the pressure release valve when the pressure is released (after the end of the cooking time).

Cooking rice

- Never use rice bags, only put loose rice in the cooking pot. The rice should be cleaned with cold water in a sieve and put them into the inner pot.

- Add water with the measuring cup:

o E.g. 2 measuring cups rice add 3 measuring cups water

- You can add spices such as chili, garlic etc. to the water. For wild and brown rice, add in addition to the above mentioned amounts half a measuring cup of water more.

- In various types of rice, it may be a slight browning of the rice grains on the bottom of the pot. This cannot be prevented by design.

Steaming:

• With the steaming insert it is possible to steam vegetables or fish. Cut the food in mouth size pieces and place it equally on the steaming insert. The vegetables must not protrude over the edge of the insert.
• Two cups of water should be poured inside the inner pot, then the steaming insert should be placed inside the pot, close the lid and start the appliance.

Yoghurt

• You can use both UHT milk and pasteurized fresh milk. For off-farm milk (milk dispenser / milk refuelling station), the milk must be boiled first and cooled to at least 35 °C.
• Stir one cup of yoghurt (125gr) into 2,0 litres of milk and fill into the yoghurt glasses.
• Then fill up the glasses with milk up to 1cm below the edge of the glass. Stir well each glass with a spoon and close with the lid. Then, place the glasses in the device and start the yoghurt program.
• Note: yoghurt glasses can be gained at the STEBA-Service as accessories.

Mature Time:

• The milk mixture should be left in the appliance for at least 8h. The longer the yoghurt matures, the tastier it becomes. The colder the mixture, the longer the timer has to be set. Use a spoon to check the consistency and, if necessary, increase the timer. Do not move the device during the mature time, otherwise the yoghurt might not thicken. One cup of the finished Yoghurt can be used as the starter culture, but not more than approx. 20 times, as the effect is not so good any more.
• Keep the ready yoghurt always in the refrigerator. Ingredients such as sugar, fruits or flavours can be added later to the plain yoghurt.
