Handling and operation

DANGER! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

• Keep water and other liquids away from the appliance’s mains cable connection 7. There is a risk of fatal electric shock!

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

•  When filling, pay attention to the markings on the inside of the pot 6. Do not fill the pot 6 any higher than the MAX marking (1.2 l). Otherwise, the boiling contents of the pot can splash out.
•  Only use fresh drinking water when cooking with the appliance. Do not consume any water that is not certified as drinkable. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to health.

NOTE

•  The appliance is fitted with an overheating protector and a boil-dry protec-tion device. If the appliance is accidentally switched on without food or water in the pot 6, the appliance switches off automatically. Likewise, the appliance switches off automatically if the appliance boils dry, e.g. because the lid 1 is left open. If this happens, allow the appliance to cool down before using it again.
•  Fill the pot 6 at least to the MIN marking (0.5 l). Otherwise, there is a possibility that the appliance will boil dry and switch off automatically.
•  Always make sure that the rocker switch 5 is set to O when you unplug the appliance and if the mains cable 9 is still connected to the appliance. Otherwise, the appliance could heat up unintentionally as soon as the mains plug is plugged in again.

1.  Remove the lid 1 from the pot 6.

2. Add food or water into the pot 6. When filling, pay attention to the MIN (0.5 l) and MAX (1.2 l) markings on the inside of the pot 6.

3. Afterwards, close the lid 1 and then position the pot 6 so that it is stable and level on the working surface.

4. Connect the mains cable 9 to the mains cable socket 7.

5. Plug the mains plug of the mains cable 9 into the socket.

6.  Press the rocker switch 5

   •  to the right to position I (Low: 300 W) for slow heating at a low tempera-ture or

   •  to the left to position II (High: 600 W) for rapid heating at a high temperature.
     The operating LED 4 lights up orange.
     WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

   •  Note that hot steam may escape from the steam outlet 2 in the lid 1 during operation. Stay at a safe distance.

   •  Hold the appliance by the handle 3 only. Never touch the surface of the appliance when it is still in operation or if it has not yet cooled down.

7. As soon as the contents of the pot are cooked/heated through, switch off the appliance by pushing the rocker switch 5 to the left or right (as required) to the O (Off) position. The operating LED 4 goes out.

Typical applications

NOTE
The information provided in the recipes is a guideline and can vary consid- erably depending on your personal taste and the nature of the food. Adjust the recipes to your own preferences and experience as required.
Making porridge
WHAT IS PORRIDGE?

• Porridge, also called oatmeal, is a cereal made from oat flakes or oat flour and milk and/or water.

To pep up the porridge, you can stir in various fruits, berries, nuts, seeds or even chocolate chips after cooking. If you like it sweeter, you can sweeten the porridge with sugar, honey, cinnamon or agave syrup. Use these to suit your own preferences.

1.  Pour water or milk and rolled oats into the pot 6. When filling, pay attention to the MIN (0.5 l) and MAX (1.2 l) markings on the inside of the pot 6. Fill the pot 6 to no higher than the MAX marking but at least to the MIN marking.
2. Close the lid 1.
3. Press the rocker switch 5 to the right to position I.
4. If you are making the porridge with milk, stir constantly while heating so that it does not burn. If you are using water only, it is sufficient to stir the contents of the pot occasionally.
5. Heat the contents of the pot for about 7 minutes and then switch off the appli-ance. Allow the porridge to swell for approx. 5 minutes before serving.

Example porridge recipe

•  500 ml milk
•  150 g porridge oats (rolled)
•  3 tbsp. honey
•  Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries (or berries of your choice)
•  Almonds (according to taste)
•  1 lemon

1. Prepare the milk and oat flakes as described above.
2.  Stir in the honey and allow the oat flakes to swell.
3. Toast the almonds in a pan (without fat) until they are fragrant.
4. Carefully wash the berries, pat them dry and clean. Quarter the strawberries.
5.  Wash the lemon in hot water, pat dry and finely grate the zest.
6. Divide the porridge between 3 bowls and garnish with berries, almonds and lemon zest.

Making pasta

1.  Fill the pot 6 with water. When filling, pay attention to the MIN (0.5 l) and MAX (1.2 l) markings on the inside of the pot 6. Fill the pot 6 to no higher than the MAX marking but at least to the MIN marking.
   NOTE

   • When filling the pot 6 with water, bear in mind that you will be adding other ingredients to the pot 6. Therefore, when cooking pasta or other food that will be added later, do not fill the water all the way up to the MAX mark (1.2 l)! The total contents of the pot 6 (water + food) may not exceed the MAX marking (1.2 l).
     When cooking pasta, we recommend adding 1 litre of water and 100 g of pasta to the pot 6.

2.  Close the lid 1.

3. Press the rocker switch 5 to the left to position II.

4.  As soon as the water is boiling, add a tsp. of salt and the pasta to the pot 6 and press the rocker switch 5 to the right to position I.

5.  Stir the contents of the pot occasionally.

6. After about 10 minutes, the pasta is cooked and ready to eat. However, always pay attention to the information on the packaging of the pasta. If necessary, follow the manufacturer’s instructions if they differ from the 10 minutes given here.

Making hot pot
WHAT IS A “HOT POT”?

• In a “hot pot”, also known as soup-food or steamboat, the food is prepared in boiling broth. Small pieces of vegetables, thin slices of meat or seafood can be cooked this way. It is traditionally served with various dips.

1. Fill the pot 6 with water. If you are using homemade stock or stock from a jar, put the ready-made stock into the pot. When filling, pay attention to the MIN (0.5 l) and MAX (1.2 l) markings on the inside of the pot 6. Fill the pot 6 to no higher than the MAX marking but at least to the MIN marking.
   NOTE

   • When filling the pot 6 with water, bear in mind that you will be adding other ingredients to the pot 6. Therefore, when preparing a hot pot, do not fill the water all the way up to the MAX mark (1.2 l)! The total contents of the pot 6 (water + food) may not exceed the MAX marking (1.2 l).

2. Close the lid 1.

3. Press the rocker switch 5 to the left to position II.

4. As soon as the water boils, add the instant stock/stock cubes according to the instructions on the packet and stir them in. Press the rocker switch 5 to the right to position I. Simmer the broth at this level to prepare the hot pot.

Example hot pot recipe with peanut dip

• 800 ml water
•  15 g instant chicken stock
•  100 g chicken breast
•  1 red bell pepper
•  3–4 mushrooms
•  150 g peanut butter (crunchy)
•  10 tablespoons of water
•  1 tsp. honey
•  1 tsp. soya sauce
•  A little sambal oelek (to taste)

1.  Bring the stock to the boil as described above.

2. In the meantime, cut the chicken breast into small strips. The thicker the pieces of meat, the longer the cooking time.
   Slice the mushrooms.
   Cut the pepper into strips.

3.  Preparing the peanut dip:
   To do this, mix the peanut butter well with the water, honey and soya sauce. Add a little sambal oelek to taste.

4.  Once the stock is boiling and the appliance is set to position I, carefully add the chicken pieces, peppers and mushrooms to the pot.

5.  After about 10 minutes (depending on the size of the food) the food is cooked.

6. Remove from the pot with a spoon, slotted spoon or fork.

7. Serve with the peanut dip.

We also recommend fresh bread.
