Product Usage Instructions

Before First Use

Prior to using the steamer for the first time, please follow these steps:

1. Wash all parts except the Main Unit (10) thoroughly.

Configurations

Your steamer can be used in different configurations:

Single Tier:
Use one tier for steaming one type of food, such as peeled potatoes. Arrange the food in a way that some of the holes in the bottom of the tier remain clear, allowing steam to flow.

Two Tiers:
Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lowest tier. Place different foods in the upper and lower tiers, ensuring that the flavors complement each other. Take into account that condensation will drip from the upper tier.

Three Tiers:
Similar to two tiers, place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lowest tier. Steaming times for food inthe upper tiers are usually slightly longer, so allow an extra 3-5 minutes. This is due to a large volume of food being cooked and the extra time needed to reach temperature.

If you are steaming foods with different cooking times, start with the food that requires the longest cooking time in the lowest tier. If you are steaming meat, fish, or poultry together with vegetables, always place the meat, fish, or poultry in the lowest tier to prevent juices from raw or partially cooked meat from dripping onto other foods.

Using Your Steamer

1. Fit the Mantle Ring (16) over the heater in the Water Reservoir (10).
2. Fill the Water Reservoir with cold water up to the maximum level. Do not add anything to the water.
3. Place the Drip Tray (9) onto the Main Unit. The collected juices on the Drip Tray can be used for stock or soup.
4. Assemble the tiers using the Steaming Rings (3), (5), (7) and Trays (4), (6), (8). Each layer is marked.
5. Place your food to be steamed into the required tiers.

FAQ

Q: How do I clean the steamer?
A: To clean the steamer, disassemble all parts and wash them with warm soapy water. Do not submerge the Main Unit (10) in water. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

Before First Use

Before using your steamer for the first time, wash all parts except the Main Unit (10).

Configurations
Your steamer can be used to steam one two or three tiers of steaming bowls at the same time.

Single tier
Use one tier for steaming one type of food, such as peeled potatoes. Take care to arrange the food so that some of the holes in the bottom of the tier remain clear, allowing steam to flow.

Two tiers
Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lowest tier. Place different foods in the upper and lower tiers, but as condensation will drip from the upper tier be sure the flavours complement each other.

Three tiers
Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lowest tier. Steaming times for food in the upper tiers are usually slightly longer so allow an extra 3-5 minutes due to a large volume of food being cooked and due to extra time being needed to reach temperature.
If foods with different cooking times are being steamed, start the food with the longest cooking time in the lowest tier. If steaming meat, fish or poultry together with vegetables, always place the meat, fish or poultry in the lowest tier so that juices from raw or partially cooked meat cannot drip onto other foods.

Using Your Steamer

1. Fit the Mantle Ring (16) over the heater in the Water Reservoir (10). Fill with cold water to the maximum level. Do not add anything to the water.
2. Place the Drip Tray (9) onto the Main Unit. Juices collected on the Drip Tray are ideal for use in stock or soup.
3. Assemble the tiers using the Steaming Rings (3),(5),(7) and Trays (4),(6),(8). Each layer is marked.
4. Place your food to be steamed into the required tiers
5. Place the tiers in order on the Main Unit (bottom, middle, top). Place the Lid (2) on the top tier..
6. When finished the Indicator Light will extinguish and a bell will sound. The Steamer will stop automatically.
7. Plug into the mains. Set the Timer (14) for the desired cooking time. The Indicator Light (15) will illuminate and the steamer will begin cooking.
8. WARNING: HOT STEAM, BEWARE OF HOT WATER DRIPPING.
   USING OVEN GLOVES promptly remove the tiers and serve the food. Do not remove the Drip Tray from the Main Unit until it has cooled completely. Water gathered on the Drip Tray can be used to make stock, if required, remove with care as water will be hot.

Cooking Rice
The steamer comes with a container that allows you to cook rice to perfection.

Refilling The Reservoir
If steaming for a long period it may be necessary to add extra water.

Fill with water through the Water Fill (12) using a suitable jug.

Hints And Tips

• Always ensure meat is placed below other food types.
• Steaming times stated in the cooking guide are only a guide. Times may vary depending on size of the food pieces, spacing of the food in the tier, quantity of food, freshness of food and personal preference. As you become familiar with the steamer, adjust the cooking times as necessary.
• A single tier of food steams faster than with 2 or 3 tiers in use. Therefore, the cooking time for a larger quantity of food will be longer.
• For best results, be sure pieces of food are similar in size. If pieces vary in size and layering is required, place smaller pieces on top.
• Do not crowd food in the tier or Rice Tray (17) Arrange the food with spaces between pieces to allow for maximum steam flow.
• Always use the drip tray to prevent drips splashing.
• Never steam meat, poultry or seafood from frozen. Always completely thaw first.
• Fish can be placed in a aluminium foil parcel,
  (together with the garnish as detailed in the recipe). This will ensure all the juices and flavour will be locked in the parcel.

Steaming Guide

• The cooking times shown below are only a guide and should be adjusted according to suit your tastes.
• While the majority of foods cook in less than 60 minutes, longer cooking times may require adding additional water to the water reservoir. Follow refill instructions. Remember to reset the timer as the steamer will switch off when the timer runs out.

Recipes
The recipes in this book have been designed and tested by Morphy Richards for use
specifically in your steamer. The cooking times for the following recipes are a guide and will be affected by the size and freshness of the ingredients used. Always ensure food is throughly cooked before serving.
Recipes are designed for the maximum quantity stated. If you are reducing the portion sizes, please adjust the cooking times as appropriate.
