Philips HD9189 [10/204] English

Note: During the rst 5 minutes of the steaming process, the turbo light lights up. This indicates that the

steamer uses extra power to heat up quickly.

3 When the steaming process has nished, the appliance beeps 5 times and then automatically

switches to the keep-warm mode (see section ‘Keep-warm mode’).

4 After use, carefully remove the lid.

Beware of hot steam that comes out of the appliance when you remove the lid.

Note: To prevent burns, wear oven mitts when you remove the lid. Remove the lid slowly and away from

you. Let condensation drip off the lid into the steaming basket.

Note: Use a kitchen utensil with long handles to remove the food from the steaming baskets.

5 When you remove a steaming basket, let condensation drip off the basket in the underlying

steaming basket or the drip tray.

6 Remove the plug from the wall socket and let the steamer cool down completely before you

remove the drip tray.

7 Empty the water tank after each use by tilting the base backwards and pouring the water

from the back of the base (Fig. 3).

Be careful when you remove the drip tray and empty the water tank, because the water in both

of them may still be hot, even if the other parts of the appliance have cooled down already.

Note: If the water runs out during steaming, the ‘water tank empty’ light goes on to indicate that you

need to rell the water tank (Fig. 15).

Note: If you want to steam more food and need more water, you can add small quantities of water

through the water rell spout to rell the water tank.

Note: The appliance automatically goes into the standby mode if it has not been used for 2 minutes.

Press the start/stop button to activate the control panel again.
