PROBLEMS
EN
Problems when steam
cooking.
Poor cooking results in
Manual mode
The appliance does not
work.
The lid does not lock.
Excessive vibration.
Slight noise during
operation
CAUSES
Insufficient cooking time.
The steam regulator cap is not
properly positioned or is missing.
Unsuitable recipes
It is not plugged in.
The switch (H) is in position 0.
The bowl or the lid are not correc-
tly positioned or locked.
The lid is not fully assembled.
The appliance is not positioned on
a flat surface, the appliance is not
stable.
Volume of ingredients too high.
Accessory error.
The spindle of your appliance may
create a noise during operation at
reduced speed or with the use of
certain ingredients (rice...)
Cooking times are only a guide and
approximate. However, certain conditions
may affect the cooking time:
- size of the vegetables (cut or uncut)
- quantity of ingredients in the basket
- type of vegetables, their ripeness
- quantity of water in the bowl, which
corresponds to the measurement (0.7l).
If the food is not properly cooked, you can
set an additional cooking time.
You can also use the manual mode by
selecting a temperature of 130°C and the
cooking time according to the quantity and
type of ingredients.
Set the steam regulator cap to 'maxi steam'
(turn towards you); this setting allows a
maximum amount of steam to build up in the
bowl for all types of steam cooking (soups,
etc.), so there will be more steam in the bowl
and the cooking process will be more efficient.
This position also helps to avoid splashing
during cooking. The 'mini steam' position
allows a maximum amount of condensation
to escape and is recommended when making
sauces and dishes such as risotto, egg custard
desserts, etc.
Your recipes, either personal or taken from the
Internet may not be suited to your appliance and
its accessories (quantities, cooking time, duration,
inadequate accessories). Before starting your
recipe, make sure you follow the instructions of use
provided in this manual.
Plug the appliance into an electrical socket.
Move the switch to position 1.
Check that the bowl or the lid are correc-
tly positioned and locked according to the
diagrams in the instruction manual.
Check that the seal is correctly assembled on
the seal holder and that the seal holder is fully
pushed onto the lid in all places.
Place the appliance on a flat surface.
Reduce the quantity of ingredients pro-
cessed.
Check that you are using the recommended
accessory.
This is a temporary phenomenon, which
has no consequences on the life of your
appliance. It will fade or disappear after a
few uses and cleaning operations of the
removable spindle (refer to the paragraph
"Cleaning the appliance").
