Turning on the appliance

cooking time.

cooking begins.

rings and the light goes out.
x Caution: check that the appliance is
correctly assembled before use. Use
only steaming basket supplied for this
appliance.
After cooking
x To avoid food becoming overcooked,
remove the steaming basket
immediately using a cloth and place it on
a plate.
x If you used the food bowl, remove it
carefully, holding it by the side, and use a
long utensil if necessary.
x After use, unplug the appliance and
leave it to cool down completely before
putting it away.
Use of several steaming basket at the same time
It is possible to put different food items in each basket, but make sure
that their flavors complement each other.
x If you are cooking food with different cooking times, start cooking in
lower basket with the food requiring a longer cooking time.
x When the timer reaches the setting for cooking the food which
requires a shorter cooking time, remove the lid using a cloth, and
put the higher bowl in position.
x Close and continue cooking.
Some recommendations
x You can reduce cooking times significantly by filling the reservoir
with warm water, but note that cooking times given in the recipes
are for use with cold water.
x Do not pack too tightly in the steaming basket or food bowl.
x Leave some space for steam to circulate as much as possible.
x The time indicated may vary depending on the size of pieces of
food, the space left between items, the quality of food used and
individual taste. Once you are familiar with the appliance, you will
be able to adjust these times. For best results, use pieces of food
of approximately the same size. If the pieces are of different
sizes, and need to be put in layers, put the smallest pieces on
top.
x If you are steaming large quantities of food, remove the lid
halfway through the cooking time, stir the food and put the lid
back on.
x Use the juices collected i n the juice accessory to make soups,
sauces, etc.
