Old cooking oil or fat must not be disposed of in domestic waste or poured down the sink. Dispose of all old cooking oil and fat in an environmentally friendly manner. You can put it into a container and take it to a public collection point for reuse.

8.6 Steaming

The MIN and MAX markings only relate to the fill levels for oil and fat for deep-frying and are not relevant for steaming.

1. Prepare the multi-cooker as described in the "Assembling and setting up the multi-cooker" section.
2. Connect the power cable (6) plug to a live mains socket. The green "Heating off" indicator (10) then comes on.
3. Add at least 1 litre of water to the cooking bowl (5).

With 1 litre of water, you can steam food for around 30 minutes. With more water, you can steam for longer. But you should not use more than 2.5 litres of water as this could splash onto the food as it boils.

In order to top up the water, open the glass lid (1), pointing it away from you so that the steam does not come towards you and burn you. When you pour in the new water, make sure it does not go onto the food. Then close the glass lid (1) again. It can take a while for the water to boil again and create steam.

1. Place the steam insert (12) into the cooking bowl (5). To do it, twist it so that the four catches engage into the recesses on the top edge of the cooking bowl (5).

1. Twist the temperature controller (11) to position 4 to start the heating process. The green "Heating off" indicator (10) goes out and the red heating indicator (9) comes on.

Risk of burns!

The glass lid (1), steam insert (12) and cooking bowl (5) get very hot when the multi-cooker is in use. Be careful not to burn yourself. Wear oven gloves if necessary.

1. Wait until sufficient steam is rising (this is not shown on the 'Heating off' indicator (10) in this case). If you have put in 1 litre of water, this takes around 5 minutes.

2. Place the food on the steam insert (12).

3. Close the glass lid (1).

- Where possible, you should keep the glass lid (1) closed throughout the steaming process. Every time you open it, a lot of steam escapes. On the one hand, this increases the cooking time, and it also means that you may have to top up the water before the cooking process is complete.

- Foam can form if you are preparing food containing fat or protein. In this case, adjust the temperature controller (11) down to level 1 to 2. This allows you to continue steaming the food without too much foam forming.
