To boil foods such as pasta, rice or potatoes, place these directly on the bottom of the steamer (the basket is not required) and add an appropriate amount of drinking water for the amount you are cooking. For best results, cover the steamer with the cover (1) provided. Always place the steamer on the glass turntable and only use it with the appropriate cooking functions, or with microwave functions.
• COVER

The number of accessories may vary according to which model is purchased. Other accessories can be purchased separately from the After-sales Service.
There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use and resistant to oven temperatures. Metallic containers for food or drink should never be used during microwave cooking. Always ensure that foods and accessories do not come into contact with the inside walls of the oven.
