Using the appliance
Always check the temperature of the baby food on the back of your hand before you feed your
baby.
Always make sure that the lid has cooled down after steaming before you open it to add more
ingredients for blending, if necessary. Do not exceed the maximum level indicated on the jar.
Empty the water tank before you refill it to start a new steaming process.
Always make sure that the top edge of the green blade unit is not covered with food when you
start steaming.
Do not exceed the maximum level indicated on the jar (450ml) when you blend liquids.
This appliance is intended for steaming fresh solid ingredients and then blending them to obtain
baby food. See the recipe booklet for some examples. Normally you would first steam the
ingredients and then blend them. However, you can also use the appliance for steaming or blending
only. When you use the appliance for blending only, skip the sections 'Filling the water tank' and
'Steaming' and only follow the instructions in section 'Blending'. After blending, never steam already
blended food. Never steam the same batch of ingredients for longer than 20 minutes or more than
once.
This appliance is NOT intended for:
- Defrosting food
- Steaming frozen food
- Steaming already blended food
- Steaming the same ingredients for more than 20 minutes
- Cooking rice and pasta
- Blending ingredients first and then steaming them
- Heating up fluids, e.g. soup or water
- Keeping food warm for several hours
- Reheating food
Filling the water tank
1 Fill the measuring cup with water up to the required level (Fig. 3).
The measuring cup shows millilitres and the corresponding steaming time in minutes. See the
separate recipe booklet for the recommended quantities of the recipes.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum level indicated on the measuring cup (200ml) to make sure that you
do not overfill the water tank.
Note: We advise you not to use mineral water, as the minerals contained in this type of water cause scale
to build up inside the water tank.
