tric hazard.

a table or counter, touch hot surfaces or become
knotted.

PREPARATION FOR USE
1. Remove all packaging.
2. Clean the bowls and lid using hot, soapy water. Do
not use detergents, abrasive cleaners or place in a
dishwasher.
3. Unwind the mains cable.
4. Place steamer on a stable, level surface away
from other heat sources and close to a mains supply
socket.
5. Always ensure there is adequate air space above
and at all sides for air circulation. Do not use under
shelves or cupboards or near any surface where heat
or steam may cause a problem. Never allow the ap-
pliance to come into contact with ammable materi-
als during use e.g. curtains, dish towels, clothing.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill the reservoir with water up to the maximum
level mark on the inside. Do not ll above this mark
or allow the water level to fall below the minimum
level mark. Do not add other liquids e.g. wine or
vinegar to the reservoir.
2. Place the food in the steamer bowls. Herbs and
spices may be added towards the end of the cooking
cycle. Do not place too much food in the bowls so as
to block the vents as the steam has to circulate freely
around the food.
3. Place lid on top of the bowl ensuring the handles
correspond.
4. Place the steam bowl on the reservoir and switch
the appliance on.

5. There should be sucient in the reservoir for cook-
ing, however water can be added to prolong the
cooking process.
6. Do not allow the reservoir to run dry.
7. For food with dierent cooking times, place the
food with the longer cooking time in the lower bowl.
As soon as the timer reaches the time for the food
with the shorter cooking time, remove the lid with a
cloth and place the upper bowl on the bottom bowl
and replace the lid.
8. Switch o the appliance at the end of the cook-
ing process. Be careful of the steam when taking the
steam container o the reservoir. Use of oven gloves
is recommended.
CLEANING & CARE
1. Disconnect the mains plug and allow the appli-
ance to cool before cleaning.
2. Use a soft, damp cloth and soap solution to
clean the exterior of the reservoir. The interior can
be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The bowls, lid
and rings can be washed in hot, soapy water. Do
not use detergents, abrasive cleaners or place in a
dishwasher.
3. Do not immerse the reservoir in water or other
liquids and do not hold under a running tap. This will
cause an electrical hazard.
