ASSEMBLY
1.
Fit the steam tube round the element, so that the element is in its centre.
2.
Sit the tray on the base unit. The tray fits only one way round, to allow for the control panel.
It prevents juices from the food reaching the element and reservoir.
3.
The basket handles are marked 1, 2, and 3. You may use 1, 2, or 3 baskets at a time.
a)
Fit basket 1 on top of the tray. Put food in the basket.
b)
Fit basket 2 on top of basket 1. Put food in the basket.
c)
Fit basket 3 on top of basket 2. Put food in the basket.
d) Fit the lid.
COOKING
1.
Put the plug into the power socket.
2.
Turn the timer clockwise to the required time. Don't try to turn it anti-clockwise or you may
damage it.
3.
The light will come on.
4.
Steam will start to fill the baskets.
5.
When the timer returns to 0, a bell will sound and your steamer will switch off.
6.
If you want to stop the appliance early, unplug it.
TOPPING UP
1.
Slowly pour water into one of the holes at the sides of the tray.
2.
Keep an eye on the water level – don't let it get above max.
COOKING RICE
1.
Add the dry rice and water to the rice bowl in the ratio according to the package directions.
2.
Place the rice bowl into the bottom steaming basket.
3.
Fit the lid on the steaming basket.
4.
Rice should take 15 to 20 minutes, depending on type, quantity, and personal taste.
5.
Check that the rice is cooked to your liking. Adjust the steaming times if not.
•
If you put rice underneath other foods, juices from those foods will alter the flavour of the
rice, and the additional liquid may make it mushy.
FINISHED?
1.
Unplug the appliance.
2.
Put the lid on a plate or tray.
3.
Lift the baskets off and set them down on plates or a tray.
4.
Remove the tray carefully – the juices will be hot, and they may stain if spilt.
5.
Empty the reservoir via one of the pouring lips at the sides.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when removing the baskets. Never remove all the baskets together.
Remove the baskets one at a time starting with the top one. Use oven mitts or similar to
help protect against burns from hot steam.
BOILING DRY
If the appliance boils dry, the thermostat will cut off power to the element. The light will go off,
but the timer will keep going. The thermostat will cycle on and off till you remember to add
water, or till the timer returns to 0 and switches off.
1.
Unplug the base unit, let it cool for a couple of minutes, then fill the reservoir with water
and start again.
2.
When calculating the time needed, allow for the whole of the time already spent steaming,
and part of the time between running dry and restarting, as the cooking process won't
have stopped immediately the reservoir ran dry.
