Summary

Safety Information

Machine Safety

This machine produces steam which can burn you. Be careful when handling hot liquids.

Food Safety Guidelines

Cook meat, fish and seafood thoroughly. Place raw meat/fish in bottom basket to prevent juice dripping.

Before Plugging In

Ensure your electricity supply matches the steamer's rating.

First Time Use Preparation

Remove packaging, wash parts, wipe water tank, and push excess cord back.

Using Your Steamer

Steamer Placement

Keep steamer away from walls and cupboards to prevent steam damage.

Seasoning Food

Season food after cooking to prevent damage to the heating element.

Fitting the Strainer

Fit the strainer inside the water tank to prevent debris from entering the element.

Filling the Water Tank

Pour cold water between 'Min' and 'Max' levels for steam production.

Using Filtered Water

Filtered water reduces limescale, prolonging steamer life and efficiency.

Water Additives Warning

Do not add anything to the water, as it could damage the heating element.

Helpful Hints

Condensation in Baskets

Condensation drips between baskets, so ensure flavours complement each other.

Drip Tray Liquid Use

Liquid in the drip tray can be used for soup or stock, but handle with care as it's hot.

Using the Rice Bowl

The rice bowl can be used for cooking items in liquid, like vegetables in sauce.

Food Spacing and Placement

Leave gaps between food pieces, placing thicker pieces towards the outside.

Stirring Food During Cooking

Stir large amounts of food halfway through cooking for evenness.

Cooking Time by Quantity

Smaller amounts cook faster than larger amounts; similar-sized pieces cook evenly.

Adding Food During Cooking

Food can be added during cooking; add items needing less time later.

Steam Escape Warning

Lifting the lid releases steam, increasing cooking time.

Post-Switch Off Cooking

Food continues cooking after the steamer switches off; remove immediately.

Cooking Time Adjustments

Cooking times are for the bottom basket; allow extra time for higher baskets.

Checking Food Doneness

Check food is thoroughly cooked before eating.

Re-timing Undercooked Food

If food is undercooked, reset the timer and potentially add more water.

Care and Cleaning

General Cleaning Precautions

Switch off, unplug, and cool before cleaning. Never immerse the base in water.

Cleaning the Water Tank

Empty, rinse with warm water, and dry the water tank.
