you use be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention
placed on the following important operating instructions.

material and promotional labels before using
the food steamer for the first time.

Before First Use

Remove and safely discard all
packaging material and promotional
labels from the food steamer.

Operating Your Kambrook

1. Remove the lid, steaming baskets
and juice collection tray from the

2. Pour clean tap water into
the water reservoir, up to the
maximum ‘HI FILL’ (900 ml) mark
found on the inside of the water
reservoir (see Fig. 2). If you are
cooking for a long period of time,
ensure that the water level does
not fall below the minimum

food steamer’s water
reservoir. Do not use wine,

2. Place the small 2L steaming
basket on top of the larger
basket. Place the food into the
2L steaming basket.

3. Cover with lid.

CAUTION: When
positioning the lid on
a steamer basket,
ensure the steam vent
(if any) on the lid faces
toward the rear of the
food steamer. Lift and
remove the lid carefully
and away from yourself
to avoid scalding from
escaping steam.

NOTE: Denser foods or foods
that take longer to cook should
be placed in the lower steaming
basket as it gets a higher
concentration of steam. Also,
foods such as meat or chicken
should be placed on the lower
steaming basket to avoid juices
dripping onto foods below.

NOTE: The rice cooking bowl
can be placed into the 3L
steaming basket for cooking/
steaming food as described in
steaming charts and recipes.

4. Plug the power cord into a 230V
or 240V power outlet and switch
on.

5. Turn the timer dial to the desired
cooking time - this will activate
the steamer base and the
‘POWER’ indicator light will
illuminate. Steaming will start
within 30 seconds. When cooking
time has elapsed and the timer
dial has counted down, the food
steamer will switch off, a bell will
ding and the ‘POWER’ indicator
light will go out.

6. Dismantle the steaming baskets to
remove the cooked food, taking
care as lid, steaming baskets,
steam, and water condensation
will be very hot.

7. Switch off at the power outlet and
unplug the power cord.

CAUTION: Avoid
unnecessary removal
of the lid and steaming
baskets during cooking,
as steam surrounding
the food will escape.

WARNING: Do not touch
hot surfaces; use oven
mitts to remove the lid,
steaming baskets, and
rice cooking bowl.

CAUTION: Always take
care when lifting the
steamer bowls and
juice collection tray, as
the steam and water
condensation can
cause burns.
