Settings table and tips

Notes

‒ Always preheat the appliance. ‒ If possible, always place the glass cover on the

steamer to prevent steam and energy being lost.

‒ The values given must be looked upon as a

guideline. The cooking time required depends on the condition and temperature of the food as well as the weight and thickness.

Steaming

▯ Fill the cooking basin with 1 litre of water. Preheat

the appliance on the steaming setting.

▯ Put the cooking insert with the food in the cooking

basin and fit the glass cover.

▯ When you use the perforated cooking insert, the

steam is able to reach the food on all sides. This ensures uniform cooking even of large quantities of food. Using the unperforated cooking insert avoids the soiling of the cooking basin and is also used for soaking food.

▯ You can put two cooking inserts in the cooking

basin simultaneously. Insert the perforated insert under the unperforated insert.

‒ Make sure the residue strainer is placed on the

drain if adding herbs, spices or vegetables to the cooking liquid. Remove residues before draining.

‒ Thoroughly clean the cooking basin if it had been

filled with salt, bouillon or stock. Remainders of these substances might cause corrosion.

▯ Depending on the cooking time you can put both

cooking inserts in the cooking basin at the same time or after each other.

▯ Add approx. 10 minutes to the cooking time when

using two cooking inserts simultaneously.

▯ The steam seals the food that is being cooked and

prevents a loss of nutrients in the foodstuffs. Steamed food retains its vitamins, minerals and its shape, its colour and its typical aroma. Therefore season the food after steaming.

▯ You can season the water with herbs, spices or

wine to enhance the flavour.

Cooking

▯ Fill the cooking basin with 4 litres of water. Preheat

the appliance on the steaming setting.

▯ Use the pasta basket (special accessory: FK 023

000) to prepare pasta.

Simmering

Care and cleaning

In this chapter you will find tips on how to maintain and clean your appliance correctly.

m Risk of electric shock!

Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.

m Risk of burns!

The accessible parts become very hot when in operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children at a safe distance.

Cleaning the appliance

▯ Drain the cooking basin after every use and clean

with soapy water and a soft brush. Do not apply any stainless steel care products on the cooking basin as these are usually not food safe.

▯ Soiling, salt and limescale deposits can cause

corrosion.

▯ Clean the cooking inserts and the residue strainer

in a dishwasher or with soapy water. Only clean the handle by hand.

▯ Thoroughly dry the cooking basin with a cloth. Do

not fit the glass cover while the cooking basin is still moist.

▯ Polish the cooking basin with a soft cloth and a

drop of cooking oil.

After cleaning and drying, you can store the cleaned cooking inserts and the handle in the cooking basin. Turn over the glass cover to make sure that the appliance cover (special accessory) will lie properly on the appliance.

Descaling the cooking basin

You should descale the cooking basin if a white coating appears due to hard water. Build up of limescale can lead to disfunction of the appliance.

You can order a suitable descaler online (order number

00311138). Prepare a descaling solution by mixing 40 ml descaler with 200 ml warm water. If you need to prepare a different quantity of descaling solution mix 1 part descaler with 5 parts of water.

Close the drain valve and pour the descaling solution into the cooking basin. Remove the limescale using a soft brush. Drain the descaling solution and thouroughly rinse the cooking basin with cold water. Avoid skin contact with the descaling solution. Observe the instructions on the packaging.

Note: the descaling solution is also suitable to remove residues from starchy foods (e.g. rice) from the cooking inserts.

Do not use these cleaning agents

▯ Scouring or chemically aggressive cleaners ▯ Don’t allow acidic cleaners (e.g. vinegar, citric acid,

etc) to get on the frame.

▯ Cleaners containing chlorine or with a high content

of alcohol

▯ Oven cleaner ▯ Hard and scratchy sponges, brushes or scouring

pads

▯ Thoroughly wash out new sponge cloths before

using them.

Note: after a few hours of operation, the contours of the heating elements will appear on the base of the cooking basin. This does not detrimentally influence the functions and the quality of the appliance.

Part/surface Recommended cleaning method

Cooking basin Clean with warm soapy water and a

brush. Thoroughly dry with a soft cloth. Cooking inserts Clean in a dishwasher. Glass cover Clean in a dishwasher. Handle Clean with warm soapy water. Control knobs Clean with a soft, moist cloth and

some soapy water; do not use too

much water.
