Read the instructions, keep them safe, pass them on if you pass the
steamer on. Remove all packaging before use.

A IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

1 The steamer must only be used by a responsible adult. Use and

store the steamer out of reach of children.

2 Don’t put the steamer in liquid, don’t use it in a

bathroom, near water, or outdoors.

3 Don’t put frozen meat or poultry in the steamer – defrost

fully before use.

4 Fill the reservoir at least to the MIN mark, but not above the MAX

mark. If you overfill, it may spit boiling water and you may
damage the steamer.

5 Fill the reservoir with boiling water, not cold water, otherwise the

food may not cook properly.

6 Don’t touch the hot surfaces of the base unit, lid or baskets.

7 Use oven gloves or a cloth when lifting the lid or baskets, and lift

them only by the handles.

8 Don’t reach over the top of the steamer. Steam will escape from

the vents, the baskets, and the base unit.

9 Keep hands, arms, face, etc. clear of steam from the vents, and

when lifting the lid or baskets,

10 Position the steamer on a stable, level, heat resistant surface,

close to a power socket, and out of reach of children.

11 Route the cable so that it doesn’t overhang and can’t be tripped

over or caught accidentally.

12 Don’t use the steamer near or below curtains, shelves, or

cupboards, as the escaping steam may damage them.
13 Don’t line the baskets – you’ll block the steam holes.
14 Don’t cover the steamer during use.
15 Unplug the steamer when not in use, before moving and before

cleaning. Let it cool down fully before cleaning and storing away.
16 Don’t use accessories unless we supply them.
17 Don’t use the steamer for any purpose other than those

described in these instructions.

18 Don’t connect the steamer via a timer or remote control system.
19 Don’t use the steamer if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
20 If the cable is damaged, return the steamer, to avoid hazard.

household use only

U PR EPAR ATI ON

1 Put the base unit on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, close to

a power socket, and out of reach of children.

2 Steam will escape, so don’t put it near curtains, under shelves or

cupboards, or near anything that might be damaged by the

escaping steam.

3 Have dinner plates or a tray handy to put the baskets on

afterwards, as they’ll drip. This would be a good time to set out

serving spoons, tongs, etc. for emptying the baskets. Don’t forget

the oven gloves.

4 Boil 500ml (1 pint) of water in a kettle. Don’t use cold water – the

food may not cook properly.

C FILL THE RESERVOIR

5 Fill the reservoir to the MAX mark with 500ml (1 pint) of boiling

water. This’ll give you at least 60 minutes steaming, enough time

for most foods.
, Filling to MAX will probably avoid a boil-dry, even if you

completely forget about the steamer.

6 Don’t add anything to the water. Seasonings, marinades, etc.

should be added to the food, not the steaming water. They won’t

circulate with the steam, they’ll just concentrate in the reservoir,

possibly damaging the surfaces of the reservoir and element.

C FITTING THE BASKETS

7 Sit one of the baskets on the base unit.

8 If you’re only using one basket, jump to point 11 below.
9 If you’re using another basket, fit a mount to the top of the first

basket, then sit the second basket on top of this.
10 If you’re using the third basket, fit the other mount to the top of

the second basket, then sit the third basket on top.
