Preparing for use
1 Put the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface.
2 Fully unwind the mains cord from the reel in the base before you plug in the appliance.
3 Fill the water tank with water up to the MAX indication (Fig. 4).
, When the water tank is lled up to the MAX indication, the steamer can steam for approx.
60 minutes.
Do not ll the water tank beyond the MAX indication.
Only ll the water tank with water. Never put seasoning, oil, or other substances in the water
tank.
4 Place the drip tray on the water tank in the base (Fig. 5).
Note: Never use the appliance without the drip tray and do not pour water, seasoning, oil or other
substances in the drip tray.
5 Place the Aroma Infuser on the drip tray if you want to add extra avour to the food to be
steamed. (Fig. 6)
- Fill the Aroma Infuser with fresh or dried herbs.
- For suggested herbs or spices for various types of food, see the food steaming table in chapter
‘Food table and steaming tips’.
6 Put the food to be steamed in one or more steaming baskets and/or in the soup
bowl. (Fig. 7)
- Always place the removable bottoms into the steaming baskets from the top. To position the
bottoms correctly, rst lower one side into the basket and then the other side, until the bottom
snaps into place (‘click’). Make sure the bump in the bottom faces upwards (Fig. 2).
- Do not put too much food in the steaming baskets. Leave some space between the pieces of
food and evenly distribute the food over the bottom of the basket.
- Place larger pieces of food and food that requires a longer steaming time in the bottommost
steaming basket (1).
- Put eggs on the egg holders to steam eggs conveniently (Fig. 8).
- To steam large-sized foods (e.g. whole chickens, corn cobs), you can remove the removable
bottoms from the medium steaming basket (2) and the large steaming basket (3) to create one
large basket.
Note: The maximum capacity of the steaming baskets is 1kg.
7 Put one or more steaming baskets on the drip tray. Place the baskets properly and make
sure they do not wobble (Fig. 9).
- You do not have to use all 3 steaming baskets.
- The steaming baskets are numbered from 1 to 3. You nd the numbers of the steaming baskets
on their handles. You can stack any larger basket on top of a smaller basket, but the baskets t
best if you stack them in logical ascending order: the smallest basket (1) rst, then the medium
basket (2) and then the large basket (3). Always use the drip tray under the steaming baskets
and only use steaming baskets that are lled with food (Fig. 10).
- The soup bowl is intended for preparing soup, other liquid food and sh. When you want to
use the soup bowl, put it in the large steaming basket (3) (Fig. 11).
- When you take out the removable bottom from the large steaming basket (3) to create a
larger basket with the medium steaming basket (2) underneath, you can still place the soup
bowl to prepare sh, rice or soup on top (Fig. 12).
- When you take out the removable bottom from the medium steaming basket (2) to create a
larger basket with the small steaming basket (1) underneath, you can still place the large
steaming basket (3) on top.
