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).

Asparagus (450 g) 12-15 minutes
Broccoli (225 g) 08-11 minutes

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.
