important safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 The steamer must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult.
Use and store the steamer out of reach of children.
2 Don't put the base unit in liquid. Don't use the steamer in a bathroom, near
a source of water, or outdoors.
3 Don't put frozen meat or poultry in the steamer, defrost fully before use.
4 Don't fill the reservoir above max (1.1 litre/1¾ pints), or it may spit boiling water, and
you may damage the steamer.
5 Don't touch the hot surfaces of the base unit, lid, baskets, rice bowl, or diffuser. Use
oven gloves or a cloth, and lift them only by the handles.
6 Don't reach over the steamer.
7 Keep hands, arms, face, etc. clear of steam from the vents, lid, baskets, diffuser, and
rice bowl.
8 Sit the steamer on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.

10 Steam will escape. Don't put the steamer near curtains, under shelves or cupboards,
or near anything that might be damaged by the escaping steam.
11 Don't line the baskets with paper, foil, etc. You'll block the steam holes.
12 Don't cover the steamer or put anything on top of it.
13 Keep the steamer and cable away from hotplates, hobs and burners.
