SPECIAL SAFETY MEASURES

 Do not place the food steamer near or under
curtains, shelves, cupboards or other items, which may
be damaged by steam.
 Do not touch any hot surfaces of the steamer –
baskets, 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 drops to the minimum mark, add water to
the water reservoir (see subsection “Assembly and opera-

tion of the steamer”).

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

block the steam vents.

 Do not put anything on top of the steamer when in use.
 When cooking in the steamer we recommend you to use water

with a minimum salt content 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 sec-

tion “Care and cleaning”).

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

down.

then for 2 minutes the steamer is on – this continues until the water in
the tank is finished. Then, the «Temperature Maintenance» icon will
change to the «Add Water» icon.

Cooking

Food (with the exception of frozen vegetables) to be steam cooked

must be completely defrosted. Do not salt products before cooking
and do not use food dressings. Sauces, seasonings and food dress­ings should be added after cooking. The tables presented below con­tain recommendations on cooking different products provided that
these products are laid in one layer. If several containers are used,
the cooking time will increase since the same amount of vapor is em­ployed for a bigger volume of products. If you put products in upper
containers, cooking time shall also be increased.

Do not forget: the further products are away from the heating ele-

ment, the longer the food cooking process will be. Cooking time should
be increased if products are layered in the basket. In this case, all
slices of the product must be either of equal size, or bigger slices must
be laid on the bottom.

To determine the exact cooking time and achieve the desired re-

8

sult, you will need to experiment at first. If you are using a food
steamer for the first time, follow the guidelines written in the tables
or tips on the base (16), checking the degree of food readiness
from time to time.

Always put meat and chicken in the lowest basket this is to prevent

liquid coming into contact with other foods. The liquids gathered in the
steam condensing tank can be used for making the sauce or gravy.

Remember that fish is ready when it is white and flaky. Meat is

ready when the juices run clear. Cook greens like cabbage, broccoli,
etc., very quickly to keep a good colour and texture.

Keeping an eye on cooking time is necessary. If you noticed that

most of the product in the basket is ready, turn it over using a long
handled spoon and oven gloves. Upon finishing the cooking time, im­mediately remove the containers from the food steamer, otherwise
the cooking process continues. Put the containers on a dish or food­tray to let any remaining water disappear. Then serve your foods.

Rice

 There are several kinds of rice, so follow the guidelines.
 Carefully measure the required amount of rice and water and mix

them in the rice cup (11). Pure sufficient amount of water in the
tank (14). Close the lid and cook.

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

accordance with the table. To cook firm rice, reduce the amount of
water.

 Check when the rice is ready at the minimum time indicated for the

type of rice you are cooking; stir rice more frequently.

 While checking and stirring the rice, do not allow water from the

lid (1) to enter the cup (11) as this might affect the quality and
taste of steamed rice.

 After rice is cooked, salt, pepper, oil or a bouillon cube may be

added to the rice.

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.
