READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

TIPS FOR YOUR FOOD STEAMER

• Single-layer food cooks faster than multi-layer food, so food in large quantities takes longer to cook.
• For better results, the size of the food you steam should be similar. If the food size changes greatly, put smaller pieces on the top.
• Do not overfill the steam trays with food, and leave space between the food so that the maximum amount of steam can pass through.
• When cooking a large amount of food, the lid of the steamer can be removed for stirring, it is recommended to use long-handled utensils or oven gloves to avoid scalding.
• Do not add salt or seasonings in the water tank during cooking to prevent damage to the heating element.
• Do not directly steam frozen meat or poultry, defrost the meat completely first.
• The time indicated on the countdown timer is calculated by initially using cold water in the water tank.
• Steam trays can be used to steam other food, such as fruit, vegetables & puddings.
• When using all three steam trays at the same time, place the largest pieces of food that need to be steamed for a long time in the lowest steam tray.
• You can cook different foods in the steam trays, and since juices will seep down from the top, note that the taste can travel between trays. If you are steaming meat with vegetables, place the meat in the lower layer to prevent juices from dripping on other foods when they are steaming.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Ensure the position of each steam tray bracket is aligned with the slot at the bottom of each steam tray. Secure the brackets to the steam trays, ensuring the bracket can not come loose and fall off.
• The timer on the dial is for reference only, depending on the size and location of the food, its freshness, and personal preference.
• Wash all parts, except for the metal housing, with warm water and a mild detergent.
• Fill the water tank with water and set the timer for 30 minutes. After the time has elapsed, discard the water and your food steamer will be ready for use.
• The water tank is used to store clean tap water, do not use other liquids. In order to prolong the life of the product, it is recommended to use clean water.
• The 1.5L rice container is used for steaming rice on the steaming plate.
• The water tank is set around the housing, which makes the steamer produce steam quickly when heating water.

Below is a guide to what can be steamed in this food steamer.

USING YOUR FOOD STEAMER

• Plug in the power and ensure the position of each steam tray bracket is aligned with the slot at the bottom of each steam tray. Secure the brackets to the steam trays, ensuring the bracket can not come loose and fall off.

• Add clean tap water to the water tank using the inlets at either end of the water tank. If the food needs to be steamed for 15- 90 minutes, add water to the maximum scale. If less than 15 minutes, ensure enough water covers the minimum scale. If you need to top up the water level, you simply add to the inlets at either side of the water tank.

• When using this appliance, please make sure that the water reservoir is filled between minimum and maximum levels.

• Do not add salt, pepper, flavouring, essence, wine or other liquids into the water tank, so as not to damage the heating element.

• This appliance can be used as a single layer steamer, two layer steamer or a three layer steamer at the same time. Place large pieces of food on the lowest steam tray.
  Note: The lower trays will cook faster than the upper trays. When using a multi layer steamer, put the food that is easy to cook on the upper trays.

• Cover the steam trays. Attention should be paid to avoid scalding during use. In addition, do not directly touch the high-temperature areas and labels on the appliance, as shown below.

• It is recommended that the remaining water be poured out after the appliance has completely cooled.

• Switch on the power supply, the buzzer will beep twice and the appliance enters standby state, and the LED screen will flash ‘–’.

• The LED screen will only illuminate after a time has been set using the digital dial.

• When the appliance is in standby state, and there is no operation within 1 minute, the steamer will enter shutdown mode after the buzzer sounds twice.

• When the steamer is in standby state, rotate the dial clockwise and the buzzer will beep, and it enters the timer adjustment function.

• The default time displayed on the LED screen is 40 minutes. Rotate the dial clockwise and the timer increases for each rotation of the dial in 1 minute increments. The buzzer will not sound. If you wish to reduce the cooking time, simply rotate the dial anti-clockwise in 1 minute increments to your desired time.

• If there is no rotation to the dial after a second, the steamer will commence heating according to the current time.

• You can set your preferred steaming time from 0-90 minutes, the buzzer will sound twice after the timer has expired. The food steamer is equipped with a countdown timer in one-minute increments for more precise cooking.

DESCALING & CLEANING

• After using for a period of time, there will be some scale sediment on some parts of the steamer, this is a normal phenomenon. The amount of sediment will depend on the hardness of the water, so it is necessary to periodically remove scale to extend the life of the product.
• Fill the water tank with water and approx. 3 cups of white vinegar to the maximum level. Note: Do not use any other chemicals or scale remover.
• Connect the power supply and ensure the steam trays and lid are securely in place.
• Set the steaming time for 20-25 minutes. Note: if the white vinegar boils and spills, please unplug the power supply and remove some vinegar.
• When the timer has expired, the buzzer will sound twice. Unplug the power supply, and when the appliance has cooled, pour out the white vinegar.
• Wash the parts with cold water several times and your steamer will be ready for use again.
