For the preset steaming times of the preset steaming modes and tips, see 

chapter ‘Food table and steaming tips’.

water tank and the drip tray may still be hot, even if the other parts of 

the appliance have cooled down already.

Handle the drip  tray (1) with care, as its outside may be slippery.

 6 

 Empty the water tank after each use through the spout on the side 

of the base.

Note: If you want to steam more food, use fresh water.

steaming multiple ingredients

If you want to steam foods that require different steaming times, follow the 

instructions below: 

 1 

 Set the timer to the longest steaming time.

 2 

 Put the food with the longest steaming time in the small steaming 

bowl (2) and the food with the shorter steaming time in the medium 

steaming bowl (3).

 3 

 Put the drip tray (1) and the small steaming bowl (2) on the base 

and put the lid on top of the bowl.

 4 

 Press the START/STOP button to start the steaming process until 

the remaining steaming time on the display is equal to the shortest 

steaming time.

steaming bowl (3) on top of the small steaming bowl (2).

 6 

 Put the lid on the medium steaming bowl (3) and let the steaming 

process continue until the set steaming time has elapsed.

This process can also be applied if you have three kinds of food with 

different steaming times.

gentle steam mode

The Gentle Steam mode steams food at a gentle temperature of around 

80°C, which is an ideal cooking temperature for fish. At this temperature 

the delicate structure and flavour of fish is preserved. 

We advise you to use only one steaming bowl directly on the base when 

you want to steam food in the Gentle Steam mode, as this guarantees the 

best results in this mode.

Note: The Gentle Steam mode only works when the control knob is set to the 

preset steaming mode for fish.

Note: If you use the fish/rice bowl (5) in the Gentle Steam mode, the steaming 

time will be longer. Check if the prepared fish is done before serving.

 1 

 Turn the control knob to the preset steaming mode for fish (1) and 

press the GENTLE STEAM button (2).

, The preset steaming time is shown on the display. This time will be 

longer than the normal steaming time. 

 2 

 Press the START/STOP button to start the steaming process. 

 - When steaming in the Gentle Steam mode, you can switch to the 

normal steaming mode by pressing the GENTLE STEAM button.

 - If you want to switch to the Gentle Steam mode while steaming in the 

preset steaming mode for fish, press the GENTLE STEAM button.

 - During the first 5 minutes, the Turbo light lights up. This indicates 

that the steamer uses the extra power of the Turbo mode to heat 

up quickly. You cannot switch off the Turbo mode during these first 

5 minutes.

 - If you start to steam in the Gentle Steam mode while the appliance is 

still cold, start to steam with an empty bowl with the lid placed on it. 

When the Turbo light switches off, carefully open the lid and add the 

fish.

Tip: While you are steaming food in the small steaming bowl (2) in the Gentle 

Steam mode, you can place one or both of the other steaming bowls on top to 

keep food warm. For some inspiring Gentle Steam recipes, take a look at the 

recipe booklet or visit www.philips.com/kitchen.

turbo mode

The Turbo mode is automatically active during the first 5 minutes of each 

steaming process to allow the steamer to heat up quickly. By ensuring 

that food reaches its ideal cooking temperature faster, more vitamins and 

minerals are retained. 

You may also want to use the Turbo mode:

 - after you have opened the lid to check or stir food

 - when you have added food to one or more bowls 

 - when you have refilled the water tank

To activate the Turbo mode, press the TURBO button. The Turbo mode 

remains active for 1 minute and then switches off automatically. The Turbo 

light goes out and the steamer continues to steam in the normal steam 

mode. To switch off the Turbo mode when it is active, press the TURBO 

button again. 

Note: If you use the Gentle Steam mode within 5 minutes after the end of a 

previous steaming process, the Turbo mode is not activated and the Turbo light 

does not go on because the water is still warm.

keep-warm mode

The steamer automatically switches to the keep-warm mode after the 

steaming time has elapsed, which is indicated by 3 beeps. The KEEP WARM 

light goes on to indicate the steamer is in the keep-warm mode. The keep-

warm mode keeps the food warm for 30 minutes.

 - If you want to keep the food warm longer than 30 minutes, press the 

timer + and - buttons to adjust the time.

 - If you press the KEEP WARM button during a keep-warm cycle, the 

timer sets to 30 minutes again. 

 - If you want to deactivate the keep-warm mode when it is active, press 

the START/STOP button.

 - If you want to activate the keep-warm mode when the appliance is off 

or after it has switched off automatically, first press the KEEP WARM 

button (1) and then the START/STOP button (2).

Note: Beware that the food is still hot and steam can escape when you open 

the lid during keep-warm mode.

tips for steaming food

Flavour Booster+

 - Thyme, coriander, basil, dill, curry and tarragon are some of the herbs 

and spices that you can put in the Flavour Booster+. You can combine 

them with garlic, caraway or horseradish to enhance flavour without 

adding salt. We advise you to use 1/2 to 3tsps of dried herbs or spices. 

Use more if you use fresh herbs or spices. 

 - When you use liquids like wine or lemon juice, you can fill the Flavour 

Booster+ up to the ‘max’ indication.

 - For more tips about herbs, spices and liquids to use in the Flavour 

Booster+, see the food steaming table above.

vegetables and fruits

 - Cut off thick stems from cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage.

 - Steam leafy, green vegetables for the shortest possible time, because 

they lose colour easily.

 - Do not thaw frozen vegetables before you steam them.

Meat, poultry, seafood and eggs

 - Tender pieces of meat with a little fat are most suitable for steaming.

 - Wash meat properly and dab it dry, so that as little juice as possible 

drips out.

 - Always place meat, poultry, fish or eggs below other food types, to 

prevent dripping of juices.

 - Puncture eggs before you put them in the steamer.

 - Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood. Always let frozen meat, 

poultry or seafood thaw completely before you put it in the steamer.

sweet deserts

 - Add some cinnamon to desserts to enhance sweetness instead of 

adding more sugar.

general tips

 - To prepare rice, you have to add water with the rice in the fish/rice 

bowl (5). For the amounts, see the food steaming table above.

 - You can also use the fish/rice bowl (5) to prepare vegetables in sauces 

or to poach fish in water.

 - Leave gaps between the pieces of food.

 - If the steaming bowl is very full, stir the food halfway through the 

steaming process.

 - Small amounts of food require a shorter steaming time than large 

amounts.

EnglisH

19

 - If you only use one steaming bowl, the food requires a shorter 

steaming time than when you use 2 or 3 steaming bowls.

 - If you use more than one steaming bowl, let the food cook 5-10 

minutes longer. 

 - Food is ready more quickly in the small steaming bowl (2) than in the 

steaming bowls on top.

 - Make sure that the food is well done before you eat it.

 - You can add food or bowls filled with food during the steaming 

process. If an ingredient needs a shorter steaming time, add it later.

 - If you lift the lid, steam escapes. Press the TURBO button to reheat the 

steamer and to avoid a longer steaming time.

 - Food continues to be steamed for some time when the steamer 

switches to the keep-warm mode. If the food is already very well done, 

remove it from the steamer when the steaming process ends and the 

appliance switches to keep-warm mode.

 - If the food is not done, set a longer steaming time. You may need to 

put some more water in the water tank.

 - The steamer can be used to warm up ready-made soup. Put the soup 

in the fish/rice bowl (5) and let it steam at the preset steaming mode 

for fish. Heating up 250ml soup takes approximately 10 minutes.
