hints
G
Condensation will drip from the
upper basket into the lower basket.
So make sure the flavours go well
together.
G
Liquid left over in the drip tray is
good for making soup or stock. But
be careful: it will be very hot.
G
You can also use the rice bowl for
cooking anything in liquid (eg
vegetables in sauces or poaching
fish in water).
G
Leave gaps between pieces of food.
And put the thicker pieces nearer the
outside.
G
Stir large amounts half way through
cooking.
G
Smaller amounts cook faster than
larger amounts.
G
Similar-sized pieces of food cook evenly.
G
Like a conventional oven, you can add
food as you go along. If something
needs less time, add it later.
G
If you lift the lid, steam will escape
and cooking will take longer.
G
The cooking times on pages 5 - 6
are guides based on using the lower
basket. The higher the food is, the
slower it cooks. So allow an extra
5 - 10 minutes for food in the next
basket above. Check that food is
thoroughly cooked before eating.
G
If your food's not cooked enough,
reset the time. You may need to top
up with water.
care and cleaning
G
Before cleaning, always switch off,
unplug and let everything cool.
G
Never put your steamer base in
water or let the cord or plug get wet.
cleaning the water tank
G
Empty, then rinse out with warm
water and dry.
cleaning the outside
G
Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry.
all other parts
G
Wash, then dry.
G
You can wash the plastic parts
(excluding steamer base) on the top
rack of your dishwasher, on a low heat.
G
For storage, stack the baskets one
inside the other, starting with the
highest numbered basket and
finishing with basket number 1
G
Push excess cord into the back of
the steamer.
descaling
G
Descale after 7-10 uses, depending
on how hard your water is.
Descaling increases steam power
and helps your steamer last longer.
1 Pour clear vinegar into the tank up
to 'Min'. Don't use a descaler.
2 Fit the drip tray, basket and lid.
3 Plug in and set the timer for 20-25
minutes. Ensure the room in well
ventilated. Unplug if the vinegar
overflows.
4 Unplug and when the steamer is
cool, pour away the vinegar and
rinse out the tank several times with
water. Wash the drip tray, basket
and lid.
