Operating Your Kambrook Essentials

Food Steamer

Before First Use

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

Wash the lid, removable steamer baskets, layer support rings, rice/ sauce cooking bowl, egg cooking tray, liquid collection container and element protection cover in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly, also wipe the inside of the water reservoir, before using the food steamer for the first time.

WARNING: Do not immerse the cord or steamer body in water or any other liquid.

Pour sufficient clean, tap water, up to 1 litre, into the water reservoir of the steamer base and ensure the maximum ‘MAX’ level on the water window is not exceeded. If cooking for long periods of time ensure the water level does not fall below the

minimum ‘MIN’ mark. During operation, extra water can be poured into the water reservoir through the easy to

fill water spouts at either end of the liquid collection tray.

Place the liquid collection container into position on top of the steamer base.

NOTE: Only use clean tap water in the food steamer’s water reservoir. Do not use wine, stock or other liquids.

water condensation can cause scalding. Always lift the lid away from you when removing from steamer basket to avoid steam escaping from under the lid. Always allow the steamer base and liquid collection container to cool before dismantling and discarding liquid.
