STRAINER / STEAMER BASKET
The Strainer / Steamer Basket can be used to strain out the fruit / vegetable juice after processing.
Insert the Strainer into the jar and hold in place while you pour out the juice.
It can also be used to hold soft food such as pasta or noodles while cooking, and can be used to
cook side dishes, such as rice and potatoes.
STEAMER ASSEMBLY
The Steamer accessory is used for steaming vegetables, fish, and any other food items that you
prefer to be steamed.
To set up the Steamer, the Jar Lid needs to be fitted to the Jar and locked on, then the Measuring
Cup needs to be removed.
The Steamer is then placed on top of the Jar Lid ensuring it sits properly.
Please make sure that the steamer is covered properly with the Steamer Lid before heating and
steaming.
NOTE: The steamer components cannot be used in a microwave oven or in / on any other electrical
appliance.
Do Not touch any part of the steamer, other than the handles, when in use as you may be burnt.
Keep well clear of the steam vent holes in the steamer lid to avoid injury by hot steam.
Do Not cover or block the holes in the steamer lid as the steam will find another escape path and
may cause serious injury or damage to surrounding items.
