Remove the packing and make sure that the appliance is intact, with special attention to the supply cable.
The elements of the packing (plastic bags, polystyrene, etc) do not have to be accessible to the children, in order to preserve them from dangerous sources. It is recommended not to throw these packing materials in the domestic waste, but to deliver them to the appropriate station of collection or destruction refusals, asking eventually information from the manager of the Sanitation Department of your own municipality.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Before connecting the appliance make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to the data specified on the label.
The appliance can be damaged if the voltage is not correct.
If the plug does not suit the socket, let it be replaced with another suitable plug by qualified personnel only, which shall also ensure that the section of the socket cables is suitable for your appliance’s power absorption.
Generally, the use of adaptors with multiple plugs and/or extensions is not recommended; should they be necessary, please use only simple or multiple adaptors and extensions in compliance with the safety rules in force, making sure that the capacity absorption limit marked on the simple adaptors and the extensions and the maximum power limit marked on the multiple adaptors is not exceeded.

The first use of the steam cooker
Remove the steam cooker from the packing and check all the parts are inside and in good condition.
Wash, with warm water and liquid soap, the lid, the 3 containers, the rice container, and the turbo ring then rinse and wipe all. Clean the internal part of the water tank and the base with a soft wet cloth and wipe well.
Hot it works
Place the steam cooker on a stable surface, dry and heat resistant, at a reasonable distance from walls or furniture.
Do not put the steam cooker under shelves.
The base and accessories are not for use in the oven or on fire.
Fill the water tank only with fresh and clean water. Do not use other liquids, and do not add salt, pepper, etc.
When filling the tank with water, make sure to not overfill the MAX level as indicated on the water level indicator inside the tank.
Plug the power supply cord into the socket.
Set the time cooking with the timer until max.60 minutes; the working light switches on.
After about 3-4 minutes, steam starts coming out.
When cooking is complete, the timer and the working light turn off. If there is a lack of water while cooking, the steam cooker will automatically stop.
To remove hot parts, always use kitchen gloves in order to avoid scalds.
When cooking is complete, always unplug the power supply cord from the socket.
Use of the containers
The steam cooker is provided with three steam containers: according to the needs, you can use one or two, or three steam bowls. These containers are stackable (on each other) and are numbered so that it can be easier to understand their correct use: the container numbered 1 is the lower one, the container numbered 2 is the intermediate one, and the container numbered 3 is the upper one .
When using only one container, place the food inside container numbered 1 and then place it on the base of the steam cooker, covering the container with the lid.
When using two or three containers, please keep the order of the containers as described, otherwise, they will not fit correctly.
The containers have some holes on their base surface: these holes are necessary to allow the steam to evaporate, therefore should not be blocked completely.
Always put the biggest piece of food into the lower steam bowl as the time cooking is longer.
If cooking poultry or other meat and vegetables, always put the meat into the lower steam bowl in order to avoid liquids dropping on the rest of the food.
Do not add herbs or spices before the end of cooking.
The steam cooker is also equipped with a container for rice cooking, which must be placed inside one of the containers.
To cook the rice in addition to the water in the tank add water even inside the basket in quantities equal to the amount of rice (100gr rice = 100gr water).

The cooking times indicated in the table are intended to be applicable after the development of the steam and are only approximate. You can make corrections personally. Cooking time increases according to the quantity of food to cook.
Advice
The cooking time may change according to the quantity of food to cook, the placing of the food into the steam bowl, the food’s freshness, and to personal tastes.
In the case of stacked food, cooking time will be longer.
If there is a big quantity of food to cook, lift the lid at half-cooking and mix the food with a long handle utensil.
In order to reduce and optimize the cooking time add the turbo ring while placing it over the heating element.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning, always unplug the power supply cord from the socket and let the steam cooker cool down.
Do never immerse the base and the power supply cord in water.
With caution, pour the remaining water into the water tank.
Wash, with warm water and liquid soap, the lid, the 3 containers, the rice container, and the turbo ring then rinse and wipe all.
Clean the internal part of the water tank and the base with a soft wet cloth and wipe well.
It is advisable to descale the tank after approximately 8 consecutive uses, following the indications here:
Place the turbo ring on the heating element
Add clean water up to the MAX level by adding a small amount of white vinegar
Leave to rest for one night
Empty the tank and rinse it several times with clean water
