11.6 Overheating protection

The device has an overheating protection
system. As soon as there is no water left in
the blender jug 5 thus causing the device to
become too hot, the device will automatical-
ly switch off.
In this case, pull out the mains plug 7 and al-
low the device to cool.
You may then fill in water and put the device
back into operation.

12. Tips on steaming

Steaming is one of the healthiest methods of
cooking food. Not only nutrients and colour
of the food are maintained to the largest ex-
tent possible but also the natural flavour and
texture are the gourmet's delight. Thus, it is
possible to use salt, fat and spices sparingly.

12.1 Using steamer inserts

As required, you can either use only the
deep steamer basket 3 or both steamer bas-
kets (2 and 3).
The shallow steamer basket 2 cannot be
used without the deep steamer basket 3.

12.2 Preparing menus

If you prepare a whole menu and therefore
use both steamer inserts on top of one anoth-
er, please make sure that:
- Meat and fish should always be cooked
in the bottom steamer basket 3, so that
dripping juice will not come into contact
with other food;
- The food with the most weight to be
cooked should possibly be cooked in
the bottom steamer basket 3.
