SPECIAL SAFETY MEASURES

 Do not place the food steamer near or under cur-

tains, shelves, cupboards or other items, which
may be damaged by steam.

 Do not touch hot surfaces of the steamer – bas-

kets, lid, rice bowl or drip tray.

 Remove steamer lid, baskets and the rice bowl

using oven gloves or a towel. To prevent accidents
we recommend that you slowly open the lid so
that steam escapes in a direction away from your­self. Only lift baskets by the handles.

 Never switch the appliance on without water in the water reser-

voir, as this may lead to damage to the heating element.

 While operating the steamer, make sure the water level does not

drop below the minimum mark as it may result in the appliance’s
failure. If the water level is dropping to the minimum mark, add
water into the water reservoir (see subsection “Assembly and

operation of the steamer”).

 Do not place paper or foil on the bottom of steamers as it can

block steam vents.

 Put nothing on top of the steamer when in use.
 For steamer operation try to use water with minimum amount of

salts as this will help to reduce mineral deposits on the steamer’s
heating element. Remember that deposits shorten the service life
of the appliance. Always keep the heating element clean. Use only
recommended cleaning agents (see section “Care and clean-

ing”).

 Do not wrap the power cord around the steamer’s housing.
 Never clean the device immediately after using it. Leave it cool

down.

BEFORE USING

THE APPLIANCE

 Read the instruction book.
 Unpack the appliance.
 Wash the steamer thoroughly; especially those

parts that are going to be in contact with food

(see “Care and Cleaning” section).

 Before plugging into the mains supply, make

sure that the voltage stated on the appliance
corresponds to your mains supply.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Steamer assembly and operation

1. Put the steamer base (14) onto a hard, level,
heat-insulated surface near a socket and be­yond children’s reach.

2. Mount the detachable steam condenser (11).

3. Fill the tank (12) with water, using the marks on
the water level scale (15) as a guide. 850 ml of
water is enough for 1 hour of normal steamer
operation.

Note: Only fill the tank (12) with cold mains water. Do

not use any other liquids or flavourings.

4. Attach the drip tray (10) onto the water tank (12). Then attach the
aroma diffuser (9) in the middle of the tray (10).

Note: An aroma-diffuser is an attachment which will help

you to flavour your steamed dishes. Put your
favourite (non-powdered) seasonings, flavouring
herbs or spices onto your aroma- diffuser. Steam,
passing through the aroma diffuser, becomes
saturated with the flavouring components and your
food becomes delicious and fragrant.

5. Put food into the steamer basket(s). When using several layers it is
recommended that you put foods that take a longer time to cook
in the lower baskets and foods that cook quickly – in the upper
baskets.

6. For cooking loose and liquid food or food releasing a lot of juice
while being steamed, use the special rice bowl (8) sitting it in the
steam basket.

7. Mount the steamer baskets (3, 4, 5) on the vessel for steam con-
densation (10). For convenient assemble, the basket handles have
marks detailing the mounting procedure. They are numbered from

7

ENGLISH

the top downwards.

8. When using the rice bowl (8) place it in the upper basket.

9. Cover the upper basket with the lid (1).

10.Plug the device into the mains supply.

11.Set the correct cooking time with the help of the timer (17) by ro­tating the handle clockwise to the relevant mark denoting the cook­ing time. The indicator in the water level scale (15) will light up,
the steamer will start operating.

12.If the water level is approaching the minimum mark, add some
water to the tank (12) through the opening for water top up (18).

13.When the food in the upper basket is ready, carefully take it off
the steamer and cover the remaining basket (s) with the lid.

Attention: Please remember that during operation of the

appliance hot steam will escape. Be careful and
always use an oven glove when taking baskets off the
steamer. Make sure the upper basket is always
covered with the lid.

14.When the cooking time ends (17), the steamer will automatically
switch off. You will hear an audio signal, and the indicator light
(16) will go out.

Note: When cooking large-volume foods (such as chicken)

you can remove the bottom of the steamer baskets

(7) to increase the effective volume of the steamer
(see picture B). To do this, sharply press the

bottom of the steam basket from below with your left
hand, hold the detachable bottom from the inside with
your right hand, simultaneously releasing the fixture

(a) from under the lower rim of the steam basket
(b), pressing it with your right thumb (picture B).

To replace the bottom, mount the fixture (a) under
the rim of the steam basket (b) from one side and fix
the second fixture pressing the basket bottom towards
the centre, so that the fixture (a) goes under the rim
of the steam basket (b).

Cooking

When cooking frozen foods (except frozen vegetables) in your

steamer, they should be allowed to completely thaw first. Do not salt
food before cooking and do not add seasoning, as this will cause ex­cessive juice release. Add sauces and seasonings after the food is
cooked. If you would like to flavour food during the cooking process,
put some non- powdered seasoning on the aroma-diffuser.

Tables below contain recommendations on cooking various foods

when putting one type of food per basket. Cooking time will increase
if you are using several baskets, since the same amount of steam will
be used for a larger amount of food. Cooking time should also be
increased if you put food in the upper baskets.

Remember: the further food is from the heating element, the longer

the cooking process. Cooking time will also increase if you have put a

8

lot of food in several layers in one basket. In this case, make sure that
all the pieces of food are the same size; bigger pieces should be put in
the lower layer. Don’t be afraid of experimenting to determine the
exact cooking time and achieve the desired result. If you are cooking
in a steamer for the first time, rely on the tables and hints on the appli­ance base (14), continuously checking to see if the foods are cooked.

Always put meat and chicken in the lowest basket, so that the juices

coming out from them do not come into contact with other foods. This
juice, which accumulates in the drip tray, may be used for making
sauces.

Remember that fish is ready when it becomes opaque and the flesh

flakes away easily. Meat is ready if it releases clear juice. Cook green
vegetables, cabbage, salad, etc. very quickly, so that the leaves re­main green and crispy.

It is important to watch the foods that are cooking. If you notice

that most part of the food in the basket is ready, turn it over. When the
cooking time is finished, immediately remove the baskets from the
steamer, otherwise the cooking process would continue. Put the bas­kets on a dish or a tray, wait till the steam drips out and serve the food
on a plate.

Rice

 There are different types of rice. See the guide below for cooking

various kinds of rice.

 Measure accurately the rice and water and mix them in the rice

bowl (8). Pour enough water in the tank (12). Cover with the lid
and cook.

 To cook soft rice, increase the amount of water mixed with the

rice, as stated in the table. To cook firm rice, decrease the amount
of water.

 Check for the degree of preparedness and the consistency of the

rice at the minimum time stated for the type of rice you are cook­ing.

 When checking for the degree of preparedness or stirring, pre-

vent the condensation on the lid (1) from getting into the rice bowl
(8), as this would deteriorate the quality and taste of the steamed
rice.

 After cooking the rice, then you can season it with salt, pepper,

butter or a stock cube.

Vegetables

 Wash the vegetables carefully and peel, if necessary. Cooking

time for small pieces of vegetables is shorter than for larger pieces.

 Cooking time depends on quality, quantity, freshness, size, con-

sistency and temperature if the vegetables are frozen. Select the
amount of water and cooking time, using the information in the
table as a guide.

 Do not defrost frozen vegetables before cooking.
 Frozen vegetables that release a lot of juice in the process of cook-

ing should be placed in the rice bowl (8) and covered with foil for
the time of cooking. Frozen food pieces should be separated from
one another or stirred after 10-12 minutes with a fork or a long
handled spoon.

Eggs and egg dishes

Warming up: bread and ready-to-eat food

 When warming up bread, do not cover the steamer with the lid.
 Warming time of ready-to-eat food depends on the temperature,

at which they were stored in the fridge.

 While warming up ready-to-eat dish’s, distribute them evenly in

the rice bowl and cover them with aluminum foil.

 Warming time of ready-to-eat dishes is established by experiment-

ing.

MAINTENANCE

AND CLEANING

Before cleaning, always switch off the steamer,

unplug at the mains and let it cool down completely.

De-scaling

When the steamer is used regularly, scale can
build up on the walls of the water tank (12) and
the heating element (13). If you do not descale
the device, its operating life will dramatically di­minish.

To descale the steamer, do the following:

 Fill the tank (12) with water up to “MAX” mark;
 Add 6-7 tablespoons of 9% table vinegar;

 Plug the device into the mains supply and set the timer for 20 min-

utes;

Note: During this procedure it is essential to properly air the

kitchen, for vinegar vapour has an unpleasant smell.

 Do not mount any baskets on the water tank (12);
 After the 20 minutes, wait until the base cools down completely.

Then pour out the vinegar solution and thoroughly rinse the tank
(12) with cold water to remove the remaining vinegar.

Note: Prevent liquid from entering the outside part of the

steamer base (14) or the electric cord. Pour water
out of the tank very carefully.

 Carefully wipe the steamer outer base (14).

Cleaning

 Wash the lid (1), baskets with detachable bottom (3, 4, 5), the

rice bowl (8), the drip tray (10), the aroma-diffuser (9) and the
detachable steam condenser (11) in warm soapy water. Then rinse
thoroughly and wipe dry. For a more efficient washing of the bas­kets (3, 4, 5), detach the bottom and wash it separately with a
brush (picture B).

 Detachable steamer components may also be washed in the dish-

washer. Follow its user’s guide very carefully.

 Wipe the steamer outer base (14) with a damp cloth. Do not sub-

merge it in water or any other liquids.

 Do not use abrasive cleansers or solvents.

Storage

Your steamer has been designed to take up as little cupboard space
as possible when not in use. If you are going to store the steamer,
assemble it as follows: mount on the base (14) the upper basket, put
the medium basket inside it, and next the lower one. Put the rice bowl
(8) inside that and cover with the lid.

sion indiquée sur l’appareil correspond à la tension

du réseau électrique dans votre maison.
 Utilisez l’appareil seulement à des fins indiquées

dans cette instruction.

 Utilisez seulement les dispositifs qui font partie de la garniture de

l’appareil.

 Pour éviter un choc électrique, ne pas plonger l’appareil, la

fiche ou le câble dans l’eau ou dans un autre liquide.

Installez l’appareil dans un endroit où il ne peut pas tomber dans
l’eau ou dans un autre liquide. Si l’appareil a été accidentellement
mouillé, débranchez-le du réseau immédiatement. N’utilisez pas
l’appareil qui est tombé dans l’eau. Portez-le dans un centre de
maintien.

 Ne pas laisser les enfants manier l’appareil sans contrôle des

adultes.

 Si la fiche mâle de l’appareil ne coïncide pas avec votre

prise selon sa structure, consultez auprès de l’expert.

 L’utilisation de différents raccords peut conduire à une

panne de l’appareil et la cessation des garanties.

 Ne pas laisser l’appareil branché sur le réseau sans surveillance.
 Pour éviter la surcharge du réseau électrique, ne pas brancher un

autre appareil de haute puissance au même réseau que votre
appareil.

 Déconnectez l’appareil du réseau avant le déplacement

d’un endroit à l’autre et avant le nettoyage et la conser­vation.

 Ne tirez jamais sur le câble pour déconnecter l’appareil du réseau ;

prenez la fiche et faites-la sortir de la prise de courant.

 Eviter le contact du câble ou de l’appareil avec des surfaces

chauffées.

 Placer l’appareil et le câble de façon à éviter le basculement

accidentel.

 Ne pas utiliser l’appareil si le câble ou la fiche de contact est

endommagé. N’essayez pas de réparer l’appareil vous-même.
Le remplacement du câble électrique et de la fiche de contact doit
être effectué par un centre de maintien agréé.

 Ne démontez jamais l’appareil vous-même ; l’assemblage incor-

rect peur résulter en choc électrique pendant l’usage ultérieur de
l’appareil. Tous les travaux de réparation doivent être

effectués seulement par un centre de service agréé.

 Ne pas utiliser lappareil dans des locaux où lair peut contenir

des mélanges des gaz combustibles, des vapeurs des liquides
inflammables, ou des poussières et fibres inflammables.

 Cet appareil est destiné à l’usage personnel et n’est pas destiné à

l’usage commercial et industriel.

FRANÇAIS

 Respectez toutes les règles de la présente instruction.
 Ne pas utiliser l’appareil qui a des défauts mécaniques

(enfoncements, cassures,…): vérifiez son fonctionnement dans un
centre de service agréé.

MESURES SPECIALES DE

SECURITE

 Ne pas placer l’appareil près ou sous les rideaux,

rayons, armoires ou autres objets qui peuvent être
endommagés par l’action de la vapeur.

 Ne pas toucher aux parties chaudes de l’appareil-

conteneurs, couvercle, bol au riz ou récipient de
condensation de vapeur.

 Enlevez le couvercle, les conteneurs et le bol à
l’aide d’une moufle ou d’une serviette. Ouvrez le couvercle
lentement du côté opposé à vous pour éviter le contact avec la
vapeur. Prenez tous les récipients seulement par les poignées.

 Ne jamais mettre en marche l’appareil qui n’a pas d’eau dans le

réservoir. Ceci peut conduire à l’endommagement de l’élément
chauffant.

 Quand l’appareil est en marche, veillez que le niveau d’eau ne

tombe pas au-dessous de la marque minimum: ceci peut conduire
à l’endommagement de l’appareil. Si le niveau d’eau s’approche
de la marque minimum, ajoutez de l’eau dans le réservoir (voir
section “Assemblage et exploitation de l’appareil”).

 Ne pas mettre du papier ou des feuilles d’aluminium au fond des

conteneurs à vapeur, pour éviter le blocage des orifices de sortie
de vapeur.

 Lors de l’utilisation de l’appareil ne rien mettre dessus.
 Pour faire fonctionner le bain de vapeur, utilisez l’eau avec la

teneur minimale en sels, ceci permettra de réduire les dépôts de
tartre sur l’élément chauffant de l’appareil. Le tartre réduit la durée
de vie de l’appareil. L’élément chauffant doit être toujours propre.
Pour détartrer l’appareil, n’utilisez que des produits recommandés
(voir section “Entretien et nettoyage”).

 Ne pas enrouler le câble d’alimentation autour du corps de

l’appareil.

 Ne nettoyez jamais l’appareil tout de suite après son utilisation.

Laissez-le se refroidir.
