.

If you are using all three tiers, ensure
that the ingredients which need the
longest time to cook are on the bottom
tier, and those requiring the shortest
time are at the top.

The Electric Steamer is now ready to
use: decide upon the timings for your
ingredients in each Steamer Tier and set
the steaming time on the Timer Dial 3
. The time should be set to the longest
steaming time required. Simply add the
desired tiers when the correct level of
cooking time remains: always use a cloth
to protect hands when adding Tiers and
open the Lid 12 away from your face.

Rice Bowl

When in use the Rice Bowl 11 is always
placed into Steamer Tier 1 8. Add rice
and approx. the equivalent volume of
water into the rice bowl 11, then select
desired time on timer dial 3.

Starting to cook

Ensure the Steam Ring 6, Condensation
Tray 7 and Tiers 8 9 10 are correctly
assembled and seated. Connect the plug

13

to your socket, the Power Light will
illuminate 14. Set the Timer 3 - the
Heating Light 4 illuminates and water
will start to heat: cooking by steam starts
in about 1½ minutes. Timings given in
our guide include this 1½ mins. delay. The
Timer 3 will ring and the unit ceases to
steam at the end of the cooking time set
(Heating Light 4 extinguishes).

Cooking Tips

• Ensure that the Condensation Tray and

each Steamer Tier is seated properly

before cooking begins: escaping steam

will alter timings.

• Steaming times will vary according

to size and density of foods, space

between items, quality of food and

individual preferences.

• Food will not cook evenly if it is crowded

into a Steam Tier, with little room for

the steam to circulate.

• Most foods benefit from stirring half

way through steaming. Use an oven

cloth and carefully remove the lid away

fro your face during this operation.

• Empty the Condensation Tray and top

up the water level in the Base/Water

Unit between subsequent steaming

sessions.

Example timings

• Timings stated can only be approximate; personal preferences and the shape/size/

type of ingredients will necessitate changes, and a column is provided for you to note
your own preferred settings.

• For frozen foods follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
