DANGER! Risk of injury through scalding!

Do not lean over the steam cooker ...

... when you open the lid 2 and the contents are still hot, and

... when hot steam is coming out of the steam vents 1.

Ensure you do not cook foods for too long, otherwise vegetables become too soft and meat and fish may become overdry and tough.

To check the state of the food during cooking, proceed as outlined below:

1. Carefully open the lid 2 by lifting it slightly at the back first, so that the steam can escape away from you.

2. Take the lid 2 right off.

3. Use a relatively long skewer or fork to check the state of the food being cooked:

4. If the food being cooked is ready, turn time selector 12 to "0" to switch off the appliance.

5. If the food being cooked is not yet ready, put the lid 2 back on and allow the appliance to continue working.
6. If the set time has elapsed before the food being cooked is ready, set time selector 12 to the new time required to continue the cooking process. To be on the safe side, check the water level on water level indicator 11.

6.3 Topping up the water

If the water level on water level indicator 11 drops below the MIN marking during operation, you must top up the water so that the appliance does not run dry and overheat.

1. Put clean drinking water in a suitable pouring vessel.
2. Pour the water through the filling opening in handles 8 in bottom part 10.

6.4 Ending operation

DANGER! Risk of injury through scalding!

The condensate in collector 6 is hot. Allow it to cool down before you take out collector 6, so that you do not accidentally scald yourself.

1. Once the set cooking time has elapsed, an alarm sounds and the appliance switches off.
2. If you want to switch off the appliance before the set cooking time has elapsed, turn time selector 12 to "0".

3. Wait briefly until the steam in the appliance has dissipated.

4. Remove steamer baskets 4 with the cooked food.

5. Clean the appliance carefully after use (see "Cleaning and storing" on page 81).

6.5 Thermal cut-out

The appliance is protected against overheating. As soon as all the water in bottom part 10 has gone, making the temperature too high, the appliance switches off automatically.

• In this case, disconnect the appliance from the power supply and allow it to cool down.
• You can then run the appliance again with water in it.

7. Hints on cooking with the steamer

DANGER! Risk of injury through scalding!

Do not lean over the steam cooker ... ... when you open the lid 2 and the contents are still hot, and ... when hot steam is coming out of the steam vents 1.

Steaming is one of the healthiest ways of cooking food. Not only are the nutrients and

colour of foods largely retained, the natural flavour and bite of food cooked this way make it a pleasure to eat. This means that salt, fat and seasoning can be used sparingly. Steaming is thus especially recommended for the preparation of baby food.

7.1 Using steamer baskets

Depending on requirements, 1, 2 or all 3 steamer baskets 4 can be used.

The steamer baskets 4 are different sizes and numbered. The relevant number is on the handle of the steamer basket.

For cooking, always put basket 1 on first, number 2 on top of it and finally number 3. The sequence is precisely reversed for storing, when the steamer baskets 4 fit inside one another to save space.

7.2 Boiling eggs

The steamer can also be used to boil eggs. For this purpose, there are 6 depressions in the base of each steamer basket 4 into which you can place the eggs.

If you use all 3 steamer baskets 4, this means you can boil up to 18 eggs at once. Please note when doing this that the eggs in the bottom steamer basket will be ready somewhat sooner than the eggs in the steamer baskets above.

7.3 Cooking rice and liquids

Sauces or other liquids, fruit and rice can be heated and cooked in rice tray 3 supplied.

1. Put the rice, the right amount of water and a pinch of salt in rice tray 3.
2. Put the rice tray 3 in any steamer basket 4.

NOTE: If you are using several steamer baskets, the rice tray 3 should be placed in the top basket so that nothing drips into the rice.

1. Stir the rice occasionally.

7.4 Preparing whole meals

If you are preparing a whole meal and are therefore using several steamer baskets one above the other, please note that:

• the heaviest food for cooking should be cooked in the bottom basket if at all possible;
• as the steam acts most effectively in the bottom steamer basket and less so as it travels upwards, cooking time in the upper baskets is extended by a few minutes. You should therefore follow the instructions in “Checking whether the food is cooked” on page 73.

• stir or rearrange the cooking food occasionally with a long cooking spoon.

1. Put the food which is going to take longest to cook in steamer basket 1. Exception: meat and fish should always be cooked in the bottom steamer basket so that dripping juices do not run over the other foods;

2. Put this steamer basket in the steamer and start cooking (see "Cooking" on page 72).

3. Fill steamer basket 2 with the food which will take a moderate time to cook.

4. Carefully open the lid 2 by lifting it slightly at the back first, so that the steam can escape away from you.

5. Take the lid 2 right off.

6. Put steamer basket 2 on steamer basket 1 and close the lid 2 again.

7. Fill steamer basket 3 with the food which will take the least time to cook.

8. Proceed as for steamer basket 2.

8. Cooking times

The times quoted in the tables are intended as a guide. Actual cooking time depends on:

• the size and freshness of the foods;
• how full the steamer baskets are;
- the position of the steamer basket (top or bottom);
- the temperature of the water (the times quoted assume cold water. Cooking time is slightly reduced with hot water);
- personal preference (food with bite or soft).

NOTES:

• Stir or rearrange the cooking food occasionally with a long cooking spoon.
• Ensure that all the pieces are about the same size. Arrange smaller pieces on top.
• Do not over-fill the steamer baskets by packing food in too tightly or covering all the holes. It must be possible for steam to pass everywhere between the pieces and through the holes in the bases of the steamer baskets.

8.1 Cooking times - vegetables

• Prepare the vegetables by cutting off thick stalks and cutting large vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
- Leafy vegetables should be cooked for as short a time as possible so that they retain their colour.

• Do not season vegetables until they are cooked.
• Frozen vegetables can be cooked like fresh ones. For many vegetables, cooking time is extended by a few minutes when they are frozen.

8.3 Cooking times - meat

• Select only lean, soft meat and remove all the fat from it.
• The pieces of meat should not be too thick. Meat suitable for grilling is also good for steaming.

• Any fat still in the meat is reduced further by the steaming process.

• Poultry, in particular, needs to be cooked right through to prevent the risk of salmonella infection.

• Pierce sausages to stop them bursting.
• Steam-cooking is not suitable for raw sausage. Sausage needs to have been boiled already (e.g. bockwurst, wieners etc.).
