2. Scrape away the food with a spatula or wooden spoon
3. After emptying the bowl, scrub the bottom of the bowl with the green side of the sponge

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR APPLIANCE DOES NOT WORK

PROBLEMS

| CAUSES|

SOLUTIONS

---|---|---
Problems when steam cooking.| Insufficient cooking time.| Cooking times are only a guide and approximate. However, certain conditions may affect the cooking time:

– size of the vegetables (cut or uncut)

– quantity of ingredients in the basket

– type of vegetables, their ripeness

– quantity of water in the bowl, which corresponds to the measurement (0.7l).

If the food is not properly cooked, you can set an additional cooking time.

You can also use the manual mode by selecting a temperature of 130°C and the cooking time according to the quantity and type of ingredients.

The steam regulator cap is not properly positioned or is missing.| Set the steam regulator cap to ‘maxi steam’ (turn towards you); this setting allows a maximum amount of steam to build up in the bowl for all types of steam cooking (soups, etc.), so there will be more steam in the bowl and the cooking process will be more efficient. This position also helps to avoid splashing during cooking. The ‘mini steam’ position allows a maximum amount of condensation to escape and is recommended when making sauces and dishes such as risotto, egg custard desserts, etc.

The “zero” position enables the steam regulator valve on the lid to be secured and removed.

Poor cooking results in Manual mode| Unsuitable recipes| Your recipes, either personal or taken from the Internet may not be suited to your appliance and its accessories (quantities, cooking time, duration, inadequate accessories).
