This machine produces steam which can burn you. Be careful when handling hot liquids.
Cook meat, fish and seafood thoroughly. Place raw meat/fish in bottom basket to prevent juice dripping.
Ensure your electricity supply matches the steamer's rating.
Remove packaging, wash parts, wipe water tank, and push excess cord back.
Keep steamer away from walls and cupboards to prevent steam damage.
Season food after cooking to prevent damage to the heating element.
Fit the strainer inside the water tank to prevent debris from entering the element.
Pour cold water between 'Min' and 'Max' levels for steam production.
Filtered water reduces limescale, prolonging steamer life and efficiency.
Do not add anything to the water, as it could damage the heating element.
Condensation drips between baskets, so ensure flavours complement each other.
Liquid in the drip tray can be used for soup or stock, but handle with care as it's hot.
The rice bowl can be used for cooking items in liquid, like vegetables in sauce.
Leave gaps between food pieces, placing thicker pieces towards the outside.
Stir large amounts of food halfway through cooking for evenness.
Smaller amounts cook faster than larger amounts; similar-sized pieces cook evenly.
Food can be added during cooking; add items needing less time later.
Lifting the lid releases steam, increasing cooking time.
Food continues cooking after the steamer switches off; remove immediately.
Cooking times are for the bottom basket; allow extra time for higher baskets.
Check food is thoroughly cooked before eating.
If food is undercooked, reset the timer and potentially add more water.
Switch off, unplug, and cool before cleaning. Never immerse the base in water.
Empty, rinse with warm water, and dry the water tank.
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and dry.
Wash plastic parts (excluding base) and dry; dishwasher safe on low heat.
Stack baskets inside each other, highest numbered first, and push excess cord back.
Fill tank with vinegar up to 'Max'. Do not use a descaler.
Damaged cords must be replaced by Kenwood or an authorized repairer.
Contact the shop of purchase for help with usage, servicing, or repairs.
Cooking times are guidelines; read food safety and hints.
Clean vegetables, remove stems and peel if desired before steaming.
Do not overcrowd the baskets when steaming poultry and fish.
Use the rice bowl with water or other liquids for cooking rice and grains.
