Electrical Information
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage of your electricity supply is suitable
for that indicated on the rating plate of the appliance.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The ultimate disconnection from the power source is the mains plug. Always make
sure it is easily accessible to be unplugged in the event of an emergency.
This appliance is tted with a fused three pin mains plug to BS 1363 which will be
suitable for use in all houses tted with mains sockets to current specications.
If the tted mains plug is not suitable, remove the fuse and dispose of the mains plug
safely, immediately after removing it from the mains cable.
Fitting a new mains plug
If for any reason you need to t a new mains plug, the mains cable must be connected
as shown here. The wires in the mains cable tted to this appliance are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
If the colours of the wires in the mains
cable of this appliance do not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your mains plug, proceed
as follows:
The wire which is coloured
Green and Yellow: MUST be connected •
to the terminal which is marked with
the letter E (Earth) or symbol
or
coloured Green.
Blue: MUST be connected to the •
terminal which is marked with the
letter N (Neutral) or coloured Blue or Black.
Brown MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L (Live) •
or coloured Brown or Red.
Before retting the mains plug cover, check that there are no cut or stray strands of
wire inside the mains plug. Only BSI or ASTA approved 13 Amp BS1362 fuses should

Safety WarningsOperationCleaning and
Maintenance
Others Before Use
To prevent burns, always use oven gloves or a cloth when removing the lid or
steaming bowls as hot steam will escape. Remove the lid slowly with the inside
of the lid pointing away from you and let the steam escape gradually. Hold the
lid over the steamer to allow the condensation to drain into the steamer.
Do not reach into the steamer while steaming. If you need to check on cooking
progress, use a long handled utensil.
When the steaming is complete, the timer will give a single bell and ON indicator 8.
will go o. The steamer will then switch o automatically.
In order to prevent foods from being overcooked, turn the time to o position 9.
and unplug the steamer immediately. Remove the steamer bowl, use a cloth, and
place it on a plate or on the reversed lid. If you have used the rice bowl, remove
this carefully, holding it by the sides.
After use, unplug the steamer and allow it to cool completely before putting it 10.
away.
Useful Hints And Tips
Steaming times stated in the charts and recipes are intended as a guide. If you have •
followed the instructions and the food is still not suciently cooked, simply steam
for a little longer until satised.
A single layer of food steams faster than several layers. Therefore, the cooking time •
for a larger quantity of food will be increased, for example 2lb of cauliower orets
will need longer to steam than 1lb.
For best results, be sure pieces of food are similar in size. If pieces vary in size and •
layering is required, place the smaller pieces on the top.
Do not crowd food in the steaming basket or rice bowl. Arrange the food with •
spaces between the pieces to allow for maximum steam ow.
When steaming large quantities of food, remove the lid about halfway through the •
steaming time and stir using a long handled utensil, protecting your hands from the
steam with oven gloves.
Never steam meat, poultry or seafood from frozen. Always thaw completely rst.•
All the times stated in the Steaming Charts and Recipes are based on the use of cold •
water, but to slightly reduce the steaming time you may use warm (but not boiling)
water to start.
The rice bowl is an ideal container for steaming other foods such as fruit, vegetables, •
vegetable pates, puddings. etc.
Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lower •
bowl.
You may place a dierent food in the upper and lower bowl, but as condensation •
will drip from the upper bowl be sure the avours compliment each other.
GB-10
Safety Warnings Operation Cleaning and
Maintenance
OthersBefore Use
While steaming meat or poultry and vegetables, always place the meat or poultry •
in the lower bowl so that juices from raw or partially cooked meat cannot drip onto
other food.
Steaming times for food in the upper bowl are usually slightly longer so allow a •
minimum of extra 5 minutes.
If you are cooking food with dierent cooking times, place the food that requires •
the longest cooking time in the lowest basket and start cooking it rst. When the
timer reaches the setting for the next basket of food, remove the lid using oven
gloves or a cloth, and add the basket to the stack on the power base. Replace the lid.
Cover with the lid and continue steaming.•
GB-11
Safety WarningsOperationCleaning and

Others Before Use
Plug the steamer in at the mains socket. The drip tray, lid and rice bowl are not 2.

Set the timer to 20-25 minutes.3.
Care And Maintenance
Cleaning Your Steamer
Never immerse the base, mains cable or mains plug in water.•
Unplug at the mains socket and leave the steamer to cool completely for min. 30 •
minutes before cleaning.
Do not clean any part of the steamer with abrasive cleaners e.g. scouring powders, •
scouring pads, wire wool, washing soda, or bleach.
Do not clean clear plastic bowls with the abrasive pad of a cleaning sponge.•
We recommended washing the lid, rice bowl and drip tray in hot water and •
washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Empty the water basin and change the water after each use.•
Do not immerse the base in water. Fill the water basin with warm, soapy water and •
wipe with a cloth. Rinse thoroughly. Descale the interior after every 7 to 10 uses
(see direction below).
Wipe the base with a damp cloth.•
Descaling The Water Basin
After 7 to 10 uses in hard water areas, scale deposits may build up on the heating •
element. This is a normal process and the build-up will depend on the degree of
water hardness in your area. It is essential the steamer is descaled regularly to
maintain steam production and extend the life of the steamer.
Fill the water basin and the heating element compartment with white vinegar or 1.
vinegar water up to the maximum mark.
Do not use any other chemical or a proprietary descaler.
If the vinegar begins to boil over the edge of the base, switch off
the timer and unplug it. Reduce the quantity of vinegar slightly.
When timer rings, unplug the steamer from the mains socket and allow it to cool 4.
completely before pouring out the vinegar.
Rinse the water basin several times with cold water.5.

Recipes
Steaming times stated in the charts and recipes are intended as a guide. If you have •
followed the instructions and the food is still not suciently cooked, simply steam
for a little longer until satised.
The steaming times are all based on food cooked in the lower bowl, unless •
specically stated otherwise. Food cooked in the upper bowl may take slightly
longer to cook.
All times stated in the charts and recipes are based on the use of cold water.•
Adding More Water During Cooking
For recipes with long cooking times, reset the timer and top up with more water.
When relling, always switch o the steamer rst and empty the drip tray carefully
as the liquid may be hot. Add sucient warm water (but not boiling water) for the
remaining time.
Vegetables
Cut o thick stems from cauliower, broccoli and cabbage.•
Steam leafy, green vegetables for the shortest possible time as they loose colour •
easily.
Salt and season vegetables after steaming for best results.•
Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming.•

Due to the gentle heat only choose tender lean cuts of meat and trim o all fat.
Meat suitable for grilling is ideal for steaming.
Serve steamed meat and poultry with avoursome sauces or marinade before •
steaming.
Thoroughly cook all food before serving. Pierce with a knife or skewer to check that •
the centre is cooked and juices run clear.
Sausages must be completely cooked before steaming.•
