Important safety instructions
The use of any electrical appliance requires following common sense safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of personal injury and secondly danger of damage to the appliance and property. These are indicated in the instructions text by the following two conventions:
WARNING: Danger of personal injury
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance
In addition we offer the following essential safety advice.
Your safety
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use oven
gloves or a cloth when removing lid or
handling hot containers as hot steam will
escape.
•To protect against fire, electric shock and
personal injury do not immerse cord,
plugs, or appliance in water or other
liquid.
• Unplug from the socket when not in use,
before putting on or taking off
attachments, and before cleaning.
• Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged lead or plug, or after an
appliance has malfunctioned, or has been
dropped or damaged in any way. Contact
Morphy Richards for advice on
examination, repair, or electrical or
mechanical adjustment.
• Do not fill above the maximum level. If
the steamer is overfilled, boiling water
may be ejected which can scald.
Location
• Ensure that this appliance is situated out
of the reach of children.
• Do not place directly under kitchen wall
cupboards when in use as it produces
large amounts of steam. Avoid reaching
over the steamer when in use.
• Do not use outdoors.
Mains lead
• The mains lead should reach from the
socket to the base unit without straining
the connections.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or the counter and keep it away from any hot surfaces.
• Do not let the lead run across an open space e.g. between a low socket and table.
Children
Never allow a child to operate this
appliance. Teach children to be aware of dangers in the kitchen, warn them of the dangers of reaching up to areas where they cannot see properly or should not be reaching.
Other safety considerations
• The use of attachments or tools not recommended by Morphy Richards may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving the cooker when containing hot food, water, or other hot liquids.
•To open, lift the lid off towards yourself but tilted away from you.
• Do not use any steamer parts in a microwave or on any cooking/heated surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Never use the cooker to boil acid or alkaline foodstuff. Do not leave it in a damp and corrosive environment.
• Do not switch the steamer on unless it contains at least 1 cup of water, otherwise the steamer may be damaged.
•Aways make sure the water does not fall below the minimum level.
Electrical requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating plate
of your appliance corresponds with your house electricity supply which must be A.C. (Alternating Current).
For appliances supplied with fitted plug
If the socket outlets in your home are not
suitable for the plug supplied with this
2
appliance, the plug should be removed and the appropriate one fitted.
WARNING: The plug removed from the mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged into a live socket outlet.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
Should the fuse in the 13A plug require changing, a 13A BS 1362 fuse must be fitted.
WARNING: The protrusion on top of the cover is for decoration only, the cover handles are at the sides as indicated by Á.

Before use
Before using your steamer for the first time, wash all the parts except the main unit.
Using
1 Fill the water reservoir to the maximum
level with pure water.
• Do not use broth or other liquids. Do not
add anything to the water in the reservoir.
The system is designed for use with cold
water only, do not use hot water.
2 Put the mantle around the heater. 3 Fit the drip tray. The drip tray is used to
collect juices so they can be used for
gravies, sauces, soup, stock, etc. 4 Place food into the steaming bowls.
According to the amount and kinds of
food to be cooked, you can use one, two
or three bowls as they stack up on the
top of each other.
5 Place the lid on the upper steaming bowl. 6 Plug into the electrical socket. 7 Refer to the cooking guide and set the
timer for the desired cooking time, the
on/off light will glow. Steaming will begin. 8 After the set time the on/off light will go
out, the bell will ring and the steamer will
switch off automatically. Using oven
gloves or a cloth promptly remove the
steaming bowls.
• Do not remove the drip tray until it has
cooled completely.
• Do not let the water level go below the
minimum mark.
Configurations
Single bowl
Use one bowl for steaming one type of food such as peeled potatoes. Take care to arrange the food so that some of the holes in the bottom of the bowl remain clear, allowing proper steam flow.
Two bowls
Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lower steaming bowl. Place different foods in the upper and lower bowls, but as condensation will drip from the upper bowl be sure the flavours compliment each other.
If steaming meat, fish or poultry together with vegetables, always place the meat, fish or poultry in the lower bowl so that juices from raw or partially cooked meat cannot drip onto other foods.
Three bowls
Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lower steaming bowl.
Steaming times for food in the upper bowl are usually slightly longer so allow an extra 3-5 minutes due to a large volume of food being cooked and due to extra time being needed to reach temperature.
If foods with different cooking times are being steamed start the food with the longest cooking time in the lower bowl. If steaming meat, fish or poultry together with vegetables, always place the meat, fish or poultry in the lower bowl so that juices from raw or partially cooked meat cannot drip onto other foods.
Refilling the reservoir
If steaming for a long period it may be necessary to add extra water.
Fill with water through the ‘add water hole’ by using a suitable filling jug.
• Do not let the water level go below the
minimum mark.
Cooking rice
The steamer comes with a container that allows you to cook rice to perfection. 1 Add rice and water to the rice bowl in
equal proportions. 2 Place rice bowl with rice and water into a
steaming tray. 3 Proceed as described previously for
steaming.
Useful hints and tips
• Always ensure meat is placed below
other food types.
• Steaming times stated in the cooking
guide are only a guide. Times may vary
depending on the size of the food pieces,
spacing of the food in the steamer bowl,
quantity of food, freshness of food and
personal preference. As you become
familiar with the steamer, adjust the
cooking times as necessary.
•A single bowl of food steams faster than
with 2 or 3 bowls in use. Therefore, the
cooking time for a larger quantity of food
will be longer.
• For best results, be sure pieces of food are similar in size. If pieces vary in size and layering is required, place smaller pieces on top.
• Do not crowd food in steaming bowl or rice bowl. Arrange the food with spaces between pieces to allow for maximum steam flow.
• Always use the drip tray to prevent drips splashing.
• Never steam meat, poultry or seafood from frozen. Always completely thaw first.
Cooking guide
• The cooking times shown below are only a guide and should be adjusted accordingly to suit your tastes.
• Times shown are based on foods being cooked in the lower steaming bowl. Foods in the upper steaming bowl may take slightly longer.
• While the majority of foods cook in much less than 60 minutes, longer cooking times may require adding additional water to the water reservoir. Follow refill instructions. Remember to reset the timer as the steamer will switch off when the timer runs out.
Food Bottom Middle Top type bowl bowl bowl
Rice 25-30 mins 30-35 mins 35-40 mins Fish 8-10 mins 10-15 mins 15-18 mins Poultry 25-28 mins 28-30 mins 35-35 mins Vegetables 15-30 mins 18-30 mins 18-35 mins Eggs 18 mins 18-20 mins 20-25 mins

Care and cleaning
WARNING: Allow steamer to cool before washing. Turn timer to off and unplug from mains socket.
Bowls, lid and drip tray
The bowls, lid and drip tray may be washed in a dishwasher (top rack only). Alternatively, wash in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Prolonged dishwasher use could discolour these parts.
Steamer base
The steamer base may be wiped with a clean damp cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not place in a dishwasher as it may get damaged.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean any part of the steamer.
WARNING: Do not immerse the steamer base, cord or plug in water or in any other liquid.
Descaling
Occasionally, you may need to remove mineral deposits (known as descaling) from the steaming system. This is normal and will depend on the degree of hardness of the water in your area. If you notice a slowing in steam production or a lengthening of steaming times, you should descale the steaming system. 1 Fill the water reservoir half full with clear,
white vinegar. 2 Place the drip tray, lower steaming bowl
and lid onto the steamer base. 3 Set the timer for 25 minutes to begin
steaming. Allow the steamer to operate
until the bell rings.
4 Allow the steamer to cool completely. 5 Empty the vinegar from the drip tray. 6 Empty any remaining vinegar in the water
reservoir. 7 Rinse the water reservoir several times
with cold water. 8 Allow all parts to dry completely before
storing.
