Using
1 Fill the water reservoir with pure water to
the maximum level.
Do not use broth or other liquids. Do not
add anything to the water in the
reservoir. The system is designed for use
with cold water only, do not use hot
water.
2 Put the mantle around the heater.
3 Fit the drip tray. The drip tray is used to
collect juices so they can be used for
gravies, sauces, soup or stock, etc.
4 Fit the clear rings to the steamer trays.
5 Place food into the steaming bowls.
According to the amount and kind of
foods to be cooked, you can use one,
two or three bowls as they stack up on
the top of each other.
6 Place the lid on the upper steaming
bowl.
7 Plug into the electrical socket.
8 Refer to the cooking guide and adjust
the timer for the desired cooking time,
the on/off light will glow. Steaming will
begin.
9 After the set time the on/off light will go
out, the bell will ring and the steamer will
switch off automatically. Using oven
gloves or a cloth promptly remove the
steaming bowls.
Do not remove the drip tray until it has
cooled completely.
Configurations
Single bowl B
Use one bowl for steaming one type of
food such as peeled potatoes. Take care to
arrange the food so that some of the holes
in the bottom of the bowl remain clear,
allowing steam to flow.
Two bowls C
Always place the largest pieces of food
with the longest cooking time in the lower
steaming bowl. Place different foods in the
upper and lower bowls, but as
condensation will drip from the upper bowl
be sure the flavours complement each
other.
If steaming meat, fish or poultry together
with vegetables, always place the meat, fish
or poultry in the lower bowl so that juices
from the raw meat cannot drip onto other
foods.
Three bowls D
Always place the largest pieces of food
with the longest cooking time in the lower
steaming bowl.
Steaming times for food in the upper
Food type Bottom bowl
bowl are usually slightly longer so allow an
extra 3-5 minutes due to a large volume of
food being cooked and due to extra time
being needed to reach temperature.
If foods with different cooking times are
being steamed start the food with the
longest cooking time in the lower bowl. If
steaming meat, fish or poultry together with
vegetables, always place the meat, fish or
poultry in the lower bowl so that juices from
raw or partially cooked meat cannot drip
onto other foods.
Steam tube usage
To equalise cooking times in all tiers, use
the steam tube.
Only use when you want to steam a
large quantity of one type of food.
1 Put the mantle around the heater.
2 Fit the drip tray.
3 Fit the steaming tube to the drip tray E.
4 Place the bottom tray over the steam
tube and align the tube to the hole in the
bottom of the tray.
5 Fit the clear ring.
6 Arrange the food within the tier.
7 Fit the other tiers in the same way.
8 Refer to the cooking guide and set the
timer for the desired time.
9 After the set time the bell will ring and
the steamer will switch off automatically.
10 Using oven gloves or a cloth promptly
remove the steaming bowls.
If steaming for a long period it may be
necessary to add extra water.
Fill with water through the 'add water
hole' by using a suitable filling jug.
Cooking rice
The steamer comes with a container that
allows you to cook rice to perfection.
1 Add rice and water to the rice bowl in
equal proportions.
2 Place the rice bowl with rice and water
into a steaming tray, without steam tube
fitted.
3 Proceed as described previously for
steaming.
Useful hints and tips
Always ensure meat is placed below
other food types.
Steaming times stated in the cooking
guide are only a guide. Times may vary
depending on size of the food pieces,
spacing of the food in the steamer bowl,
quantity of food,
freshness of food and
Any tier with steam
tube fitted
personal preference. As you becom e
familiar with the steamer, ad st the ju
cooking times as necessary.
A single bowl of food steams faster than
with 2 or 3 bowls in use. Therefore, the
cooking time f r a larger quantity of food o
will be longer.
For best results, be sure pieces of foo d
are similar in size. If pieces vary in siz e
and layering is required, place smaller
pieces on top.
Do not crowd food in the steaming owl b
or rice bowl. Arrange the food with
spaces between piec to allow for es
maximum steam flow.
Always use the drip tray to prevent drips
splashing.
Never steam meat, poultry or seafoo d
from rozen. Always completely thaw f
first.
Cooking guide
The cooking times shown below are only
a guide and should be adjusted
according to suit your tastes.
While the majority of foods cook in less
than 60 minutes, longer cooking times
may require adding additional water to
the water reservoir. Follow refill
instructions. Remember to reset the
timer as the steamer will switch off when
the timer runs out.
Care and cleaning
WARNING: Allow steamer to cool
before washing. Turn timer to off and
unplug from the mains socket.
Bowls, lid and drip tray
The clear rings and drip tray may be
washed in a dishwasher (top rack only).
Alternatively, wash in hot soapy water, rinse
and dry thoroughly. Prolonged dishwasher
use could discolour these parts.
The metal trays and lid must be
handwashed only.
Steamer base
The steamer base may be wiped with a
clean, damp cloth. Wipe dry with a soft
cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean
any part of the steamer.
WARNING: Do not immerse the
steamer base, cord or plug in water or
in any other liquid.
Descaling
Occasionally, you may need to remove
mineral deposits (known as descaling) from
the steaming system. This is normal and
will depend on the degree of hardness of
the water in your area. If you notice a
slowing in steam production or a
lengthening of steaming times, you should
descale the steaming system.
1 Fill the water reservoir half full with clear,
white vinegar.
2 Place the drip tray, lower steaming bowl
and lid onto the steamer base.
