5. Put the food for cooking in steamer bas-
kets4. You can use 1, 2 or 3 steamer
baskets. Ensure that not all the holes in
the base of the steamer baskets4 are
covered, so that the steam can pass
through freely.
6. Place steamer baskets4 on bottom
part10. Ensure that the steamer bas-
kets4 are in the right sequence, as
they are slightly different sizes. Steamer
basket 1 is always on the bottom,
steamer basket 2 on top of it and
steamer basket 3 right on top. The num-
ber of the steamer basket is shown on
its handles8.
7. Place lid2 on the top steamer basket.
8. Insert the power supply plug in a suita-
ble earthed power supply socket.
9. Select the desired cooking time on time
selector12.
10. The appliance starts heating up and
operating display13 comes on.
6.2 Checking whether the
food is cooked
DANGER! Risk of injury
through scalding!
~ Do not lean over the steam cooker …
… when you open the lid2 and the
contents are still hot, and
… when hot steam is coming out of the
steam vents1.
Ensure you do not cook foods for too long,
otherwise vegetables become too soft and
meat and fish may become over-dry and
tough.
To check the state of the food during cook-
ing, proceed as outlined below:
1. Carefully open the lid2 by lifting it
slightly at the back first, so that the
steam can escape away from you.
2. Take the lid2 right off.
3. Use a relatively long skewer or fork to
check the state of the food being
cooked.
- If the food being cooked is ready,
turn time selector12 to "0" to switch
off the appliance.
- If the food being cooked is not yet
ready, put the lid2 back on and al-
low the appliance to continue work-
ing.
- If the set time has elapsed before the
food being cooked is ready, set time
selector12 to the new time required
to continue the cooking process. To
be on the safe side, check the water
level on water level indicator11.
6.3 Topping up the water
If the water level on water level indicator11
drops below the MIN marking during oper-
ation, 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 open-
ing in handles8 in bottom part10.
6.4 Ending operation
DANGER! Risk of injury
through scalding!
~ The condensate in collector6 is hot. Al-
low it to cool down before you take out
collector6, so that you do not acciden-
tally 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 selector12 to "0".
3. Wait briefly until the steam in the appli-
ance has dissipated.
