**Instructions for Use
**
Before First Use
STEP 1 : Before connecting to the mains power supply, wipe the steamer
base unit with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
STEP 2: Clean the accessories in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry
thoroughly. Do not immerse the steamer base unit in water or any other liquid.
Never use harsh or abrasive cleaning detergents or scourers to clean the
steamer or its accessories, as this could cause damage.
STEP 3: Place the steamer base unit onto a stable, heat-resistant
surface, at a height that is comfortable for the user.
Note: When using the steamer for the first time, a slight smoke or odour may be emitted. This is normal and will soon subside. Allow for sufficient ventilation around the steamer.
**Using the 3-Tier Steamer
STEP 1 : Fill the reservoir with approx. 500 ml of boiling water; do not
exceed the max. fill mark. This will be enough water to provide approx. 60
minutes of steaming, which is sufficient for most foods. Different types of
food require different cooking times; consult the recipe or food packaging and
make sure that the food is cooked thoroughly before serving. STEP 2:
Position one of the steam baskets onto the steamer base unit.
STEP 3: Place the ingredients to be steamed into the first steam basket.
STE P 4: If more than one tier is required, place a mount over the first
steam basket and then fit the second steam basket on top.
STEP 5 : Repeat steps 3–4 for the third tier, if required.
STEP 6 : Fit the lid and secure into place.
STEP 7: Plug in and switch on the steamer at the mains power supply.
STEP 8 : Select the required cooking time by rotating the timer control
dial in a clockwise direction. The power indicator light will illuminate to
signal that the steamer is heating up.
STEP 9: Once cooking is complete and the set time has elapsed, the
steamer will automatically turn off. It is important to check immediately that
the food has been cooked thoroughly, if it has not, reset the timer and cook
as required. If the food is cooked before the timer has fully counted down,
rotate the timer control dial in anticlockwise direction to ‘O’.
STEP 10 : Switch off and unplug the steamer from the mains power supply.
STE P 11: Carefully remove the lid using heat-resistant oven gloves.
STEP 1 2: Empty the contents into a bowl or onto a plate, using a pair of
heat-resistant tongs (not included). If more than one tier has been used, use
heat-resistant oven gloves to carefully remove the steam basket and mount to
gain access to the next layer of food.
Note: Filling the reservoir to the max, fill mark will help to preve
nt it from boiling dry. Always add boiling water to the reservoir before
starting to cook; water can be boiled in the reservoir if required but this is
not recommended.
The timer may occasionally whir, even after it has counted down. This is
normal; the steamer and its heating element will ha v e definitely turned
off.
Caution: Exercise caution when removing the lid, steam baskets and
mounts, as they will get very hot during use and steam may be emitted. Use
heat-resistant oven gloves to avoid injury.
Warning : Do not add anything to the water. Any seasonings or marinades
should be added directly to the food, otherwise they will collect in the
reservoir and could cause damage. Nominal voltage is still present even when
the thermostat is turned to the off position, to permanently switch off the
steamer, disconnect it from the mains power supply. Steaming for Longer
than 6 0 Minutes
When steaming for longer than 60 minutes, it is important to keep an eye on
the water level in the reservoir. If the water level falls below halfway:
S TE P 1: Rotate the timer control dial to ‘O’, noting down the
cooking time that has already elapsed.
STEP 2 : Using heat-resistant oven gloves, remove the lid, steam baskets
and mounts, until the reservoir can be accessed. STEP 3: Top-up the
reservoir with boiling water to the max. fill mark.
STEP 4 : Carefully reassemble the steamer.
STEP 5: Reset the timer to the remaining cooking time.
Cooking Guide
The following is a guideline for cooking certain types of ingredients in a
single layer in the bottom steam basket of the steamer. This is a guideline
only and cooking should always be monitored.
Extend the cooking times if:
a) 2–3 steam baskets are used, as the steam will have more ingredients to cook
b) Ingredients are layered within the same steam basket
Note : The further food is away from the heating element, the longer the cooking time will be. Experiment with cooking times and the positioning of foods within the steamer. Always check that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.
C o oking Rice
STEP 1: When cooking rice, fill the rice bowl no more than half full with
uncooked rice.
STEP 2: Add water to the rice bowl; use slightly more water than rice, as
the rice will absorb the water.
STEP 3: Place the rice bowl on the top tier of the steamer; do not use
the bottom tier for rice as the juices from other foods may alter the flavour.
STEP 4 : The rice should take approx. 25–30 minutes to cook, depending
upon the type of rice and the amount of rice used. Check the rice after 20
minutes and continue to cook until ready to eat.
Hints and Tips
1. Chop ingredients so that they are roughly the same size.
2. If steaming larger ingredients, place them into the lower steam basket,
closest to the reservoir.
3. To allow room for steam to circulate, pack ingredients loosely in the
steam baskets, using single layers where possible and leaving spac e
between the ingredients.
4. It is advised to have a plate or tray to hand when disassembling the
steamer after use, as the steam baskets and lid will drip.
Stora g **e
**
The steamer must be cool, clean and dry before storing in a cool, dry place. Never wrap the cord tightly around the steamer; w r ap it loosely to avoid causing damage.
