Steaming Times
Your Intellisteam has been designed so that all food is ready at the
same time. When the steaming process begins, the timer will
automatically start counting down from the longest cooking time
so all the food in your Intellisteam completes cooking at the same
time.
Keep Warm
When cooking has finished, the alarm will sound and the keep
warm function will start automatically for 40 minutes. To stop,
press the Start/Pause Button (27) once. After 40 minutes the keep
warm function will automatically turn off. Whilst Intellisteam is in
keep warm mode, the Keep Warm Icon (31) will appear on the
LCD screen (17).
Always check there is water in the Water Tank (5) when using the
keep warm function. To check the water level, use the external
Water Gauge (7) and fill using the external Water Inlet Filler (3).
Removing Food From Your Intellisteam
WARNING: Use oven gloves to remove the Lids (1) and
Containers (12),(15), ensure the Lids are tilted to direct the
steam away from you. Do not remove the Drip Tray (2) until it
has completely cooled.
When cooking noodles or pasta in the Rice Tray (11), take extra
care when draining liquid after cooking.
Fitting and Removing the Dividing Wall
Plastic Containers:
Slide the Dividing Wall (13) into place.
Stainless Steel Containers:
Insert the Dividing Wall (13) at an angle and twist into place. 1 2
The Dividing Wall (13) should be stored loose
Refilling the Water Tank During Use
If steaming for a long period, it may be necessary to add extra
water. Use the Water Inlet Filler (3) to refill the Water Tank (5) during
cooking.
Carefully pour cold water into the Water Inlet Filler (3) using a jug.
Boil Dry Alarm and Shut Off
When the water level is lower than the "MIN" level on the Water
Gauge (7), beeping will sound continuously.
If this happens mid steam cycle it will automatically shut off,
stopping the cooking process.
If this occurs you should refill the Water Tank (5) with water as
soon as possible. Use the Water Inlet Filler (3) to refill the Water
Tank (5) as detailed above.
After a short period of time, the beeping will stop and the
steaming cycle will resume. This should happen within
approximately 15 seconds.
The Intellisteam Button
You can use your Intellisteam to start the steaming of all
compartments at the same time. This will enable you to take out
cooked food as required whilst leaving food in other
compartments to continue cooking.
1.
Follow steps 1-6 of 'Using your Intellisteam' as required.
2.
Press the Intellisteam Button (23). This will turn off the Intellisteam
light. Press Start/Pause Button (27).
3.
When the timer reaches zero on a particular compartment it will
automatically switch to keep warm. Remove the food as required.
4.
Other compartments will continue to steam until the timer shows
zero.
Saving Time Adjustments
To save your personal time adjustments for future use, hold down
the Start/Pause Button (27) for three seconds. One double beep
will sound, indicating steaming has begun, the second double
beep indicates your time adjustments have been saved.
Reverting Back to Preset Times
Press and hold both the Intellisteam Button (23) and the
Start/Pause Button (27) together for two seconds until a beep is
heard. Intellisteam is now returned to the original presets.
Hints and Tips
•
Cook meat, poultry, fish, shellfish and fruit in foil as this retains
1 1
juices. To prevent skin on fish from sticking, lightly grease foil first.
•
The Containers (12) (15) will become hot. Take care when removing
the Lids (1) to avoid steam.
•
Use tongs where practical to remove food wrapped in foil from the
container.
•
Handle the Small Pots (14) and Rice Tray (11) carefully when hot
and full of liquid.

•
The recipes provided serve two portions.
•
The cooking guide provides information for up to 4 portions of
most foods. Do be prepared to adjust the timings when you are
familiar with your steamer to suit personal preference.
•
Use the Front Container (15) with the Dividing Wall (13) for single
portions and use the Rear Container (12) when cooking 2, 3 or 4
portions of food.
•
Do not crowd food in the Containers (12) (15) or Rice Tray (11).
Arrange food with spaces between pieces to allow for maximum
steam flow.
•
For best results use pieces of food that are similar in size. As a
guide, cut potatoes/ sweet potatoes into rough chunks of 30mm,
swede, celeriac and butternut squash into approximately 20mm
chunks. Cut leeks, courgettes and carrots into roughly 10mm
thick rounds, onion into 10mm slices.
•
If pieces of food vary in size and layering is required, place smaller
pieces on top.
