SPECIAL SAFETY MEASURES

 Do not place the food steamer near or under

curtains, shelves, cupboards or other items, which

may be damaged by steam.

 Do not touch any hot surfaces of the steamer

– baskets, lid, rice bowl or drip tray.

 Remove steamer lid, baskets and the rice bowl

ENGLISH

using oven gloves or a towel. To prevent accidents

we recommend that you slowly open the lid so that steam

escapes in a direction away from yourself. Only lift baskets by

the handles.

 Never switch the appliance on without water in the water

reservoir, as this may lead to damage to the heating element.

 While operating the steamer, make sure the water level does

not drop below the minimum mark as it may result in the

appliance’s failure. If the water level drops to the minimum

mark, add water to the water reservoir (see subsection

“Assembly and operation of the steamer”).

 Do not place paper or foil on the bottom of steamers as it can

block the steam vents.

 Do not put anything on top of the steamer when in use.

 When cooking in the steamer we recommend you to use wa-

ter with a minimum salt content as this will help to reduce

mineral deposits on the steamer’s heating element. Remember

that deposits shorten the service life of the appliance. Always

keep the heating element clean. Use only recommended clean-

ing agents (see section “Care and cleaning”).

 Do not wrap the power cord around the steamer’s housing.

 Never clean the device immediately after using it. Leave it cool

down.

Cooking

Food (with the exception of frozen vegetables) to be steam

cooked must be completely defrosted. Do not salt products before

cooking and do not use food dressings. Sauces, seasonings and

food dressings should be added after cooking. The tables pre-

sented below contain recommendations on cooking different prod-

ucts provided that these products are laid in one layer. If several

containers are used, the cooking time will increase since the same

amount of vapor is employed for a bigger volume of products. If

you put products in upper containers, cooking time shall also be

increased.

Do not forget: the further products are away from the heating

element, the longer the food cooking process will be. Cooking time

should be increased if products are layered in the basket. In this

case, all slices of the product must be either of equal size, or

bigger slices must be laid on the bottom.

To determine the exact cooking time and achieve the desired

result, you will need to experiment at first. If you are using a food

steamer for the first time, follow the guidelines written in the tables

or tips on the base (10), checking the degree of food readiness

from time to time.

Always put meat and chicken in the lowest basket this is to

prevent liquid coming into contact with other foods. The liquids

gathered in the steam condensing tank can be used for making

the sauce or gravy.

Remember that fish is ready when it is white and flaky. Meat is

ready when the juices run clear. Cook greens like cabbage, broc-

coli, etc., very quickly to keep a good colour and texture.

Keeping an eye on cooking time is necessary. If you noticed

that most of the product in the basket is ready, turn it over using a

long handled spoon and oven gloves. Upon finishing the cooking

time, immediately remove the containers from the food steamer,

otherwise the cooking process continues. Put the containers on a

dish or food-tray to let any remaining water disappear. Then

serve your foods.

Rice

 There are several kinds of rice, so follow the guidelines.

 Carefully measure the required amount of rice and water and

8

mix them in the rice cup (4). Pure sufficient amount of water in

the tank (6). Close the lid and cook.

 To cook soft rice, increase the amount of water mixed with

rice, in accordance with the table. To cook firm rice, reduce

the amount of water.

 Check when the rice is ready at the minimum time indicated for

the type of rice you are cooking; stir rice more frequently.

 While checking and stirring the rice, do not allow water from

ENGLISH

the lid (1) to enter the cup (4) as this might affect the quality

and taste of steamed rice.

 After rice is cooked, salt, pepper, oil or a bouillon cube may be

added to the rice.

Vegetables

 Thoroughly wash and clean vegetables and slice them, if re-

quired. Time required for cooking small slices is less the time

required for cooking big slices.

 Quality, quantity, freshness, size/evenness and temperature

of frozen vegetables will influence the cooking time. Choose

the amount of water and cooking time at your discretion, bear-

ing in mind the guidelines shown in the table.

 Do not defrost the frozen vegetables before cooking.

 Frozen vegetables that give off a lot of liquid during cooking

should be placed in the rice cup (4) and covered with foil for

the duration of the cooking period. Frozen products must be

separated from each other or mixed 10-12 minutes after start-

ing cooking. Use a fork or a long-handled spoon for this pur-

pose.
