Setting up Your Three Tier Steamer

Do not insert the mains plug into the mains socket.
Place the steamer Base Unit (10) on a solid, level heat resistant surface at a comfortable height for the user.
Fill the Water Reservoir (8) with cold water, ensuring that it does not exceed the ‘MAX’ mark on the inside of the Water Reservoir (8). This amount of water should be sufficient for up to 60 minutes of cooking; however, the water tank can be topped up during cooking by adding water to the Water Reservoir (8). Do not allow the water level to fall below the ‘MIN’ mark on the Water Reservoir (8) – always keep the water level above this mark.
After filling with water, place the desired number of Steamer Baskets (3,5&7) onto the Base Unit (10).
Place the ingredients to be steamed into the first Steamer Basket (7).
Place the second Steamer Basket (5) on top of the first Steamer Basket (7) if a second tier is required.
Finally, if desired, place the third Steamer Basket (3) on top of the second Steamer Basket (5) for all three tiers.
8. Once the required number of baskets are fitted and the ingredients in, fit the Lid (1) onto the top basket.

Cooking with Your Three Tier Steamer

Insert the mains plug into the nearest socket.
Left: Rotate the Timer (9) clockwise to the required cooking time (in minutes), the Power Indicator (12) will illuminate to show the unit has powered up and cooking has started.
Once the cooking time is complete, the Timer (9) will return to zero and the Power Indicator (12) will go out.
If the food is cooked before the cooking time has finished, turn the Timer (9) to zero to switch off the steamer. Alternatively, if more cooking is required, rotate the Timer (9) further clockwise for increased cooking time. If the appliance stops producing steam or there is a clear visible reduction in steam before the food is ready, add extra water to the Water Reservoir (8)– do not let the water level drop below MIN.
Once the cooking is complete and the Power Indicator (12) has gone out, unplug the steamer from the mains.
Food can then served from the baskets using heat resistant food tongs.

WARNING! Take care when removing the lid and steam baskets as they will get hot during use and steam may be released. Use heat resistant oven gloves to prevent injury.
Do not add anything to the water. Any seasonings or marinades should be added to the food not the water as otherwise they will collect in the reservoir and could cause damage.
WARNING! Voltage is still present even when the timer is at the “0” position, to completely turn off the steamer remove the mains plug from mains power supply.
Steaming Rice
Fill the steamer with water to the ‘MAX’ mark and place a Steamer Basket onto the Base Unit (10).
Measure rice and water into the Rice Bowl (2) according to the cooking guide below.
Place the Rice Bowl (2) centrally inside the basket and put the Lid (1) on. Steam for the appropriate cooking time according to the below guide, stirring halfway through the cooking time. If cooking rice with other foods such as meat or fish, place the rice on the higher tier basket.
After cooking drain then rinse the rice with boiling water before serving.

Long Grain White Rice	130g Rice 350ml Water	Max	50-55 minutes
Brown Rice	175g Rice 285ml Water	Max	45-50 minutes

Boil dry protection
Should you accidentally let the appliance operate without water; the boil-dry protection will automatically switch off the power. If this occurs, allow the appliance to cool and reset before use.
Lime scale removal

To maintain the performance of your steamer it is recommended you descale it once every two to three months to increase the life expectancy and reduce lime scale build up. In hard water areas we highly recommend using filtered water in your steamer to increase the life expectancy and help prevent excessive lime scale build up.
Do not use vinegar but a commercially available descaling agent; carefully follow the quantities recommended in the instructions of the agent.

Care and Maintenance

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, ensure that the timer dial isset to “0”, the steamer is unplugged from the mains power supply and has fully cooled.
Wipe the steamer base unit with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly, after pouring out any remaining water from the reservoir.
The steam baskets and lid are not dishwasher safe, hand wash only. Clean the accessories in warm soapy water then rinse and dry thoroughly, do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning products.
The steamer should be cleaned after each use.

Cooking Guide
The following is a guideline for cooking certain types of ingredients, in a single layer, in the bottom steam basket of the 3-Tier Steamer. This is for guidance only and cooking should always be monitored.

Food	Amount	Approx. Cooking Time

The further food is away from the Water Reservoir, the longer the cooking time.

Experiment with cooking times and positioning of foods within the 3-Tier Steamer.
Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.

Hints and Tips

Cut ingredients so that they are roughly the same size.
If steaming larger ingredients, place them into the lower steam basket, closest to the Water Reservoir.
To allow room for steam to circulate, pack ingredients loosely in the steam baskets, use single layers where possible and leave space between the ingredients.
It is advised to have a plate or tray to hand when disassembling the 3-Tier Steamer after use, as the steam baskets and lid will drip due to condensation.

Non-Rewireable Mains Plug
If your appliance is supplied with a non-rewireable plug fitted to the mains lead and should the fuse need replacing, you must use an ASTA approved one (conforming to BS 1362 of the same rating). If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Never use a mains plug with the fuse cover missing. If you need to remove the plug – DISCONNECT FROM THE MAINS – and then cut it off the mains lead and immediately dispose of it safely. Never attempt to reuse the plug or insert it into a socket outlet as there is a danger of electric shock.
