use an oven cloth or similar.
• Hot steam can cause burns: always use
an oven cloth or similar when handling
any part of the Steamer during

surface, and do not place it on or near
other heat sources such as an electric

If you are using all three tiers, ensure
that the ingredients which need the
longest time to cook are on the bottom
tier, and those requiring the shortest
time are at the top.
The Electric Steamer is now ready to
use: decide upon the timings for your
ingredients in each Steamer Tier and set
the steaming time on the Timer Dial
3
. The time should be set to the longest
steaming time required. Simply add the
desired tiers when the correct level of
cooking time remains: always use a cloth
to protect hands when adding Tiers and
open the Lid

are correctly
assembled and seated. Connect the plug
13
to your socket, the Power Light will

14
. Set the Timer
3
- the
Heating Light

illuminates and water
will start to heat: cooking by steam starts
in about 1½ minutes. Timings given in
our guide include this 1½ mins. delay. The
Timer

will ring and the unit ceases to
steam at the end of the cooking time set
(Heating Light
4
extinguishes).
Cooking Tips
• Ensure that the Condensation Tray and
each Steamer Tier is seated properly
before cooking begins: escaping steam
will alter timings.
• Steaming times will vary according
to size and density of foods, space
between items, quality of food and
individual preferences.
• Food will not cook evenly if it is crowded
into a Steam Tier, with little room for
the steam to circulate.
• Most foods benefit from stirring half
way through steaming. Use an oven
cloth and carefully remove the lid away
fro your face during this operation.
• Empty the Condensation Tray and top
up the water level in the Base/Water
Unit between subsequent steaming
sessions.

Example timings
• Timings stated can only be approximate; personal preferences and the shape/size/
type of ingredients will necessitate changes, and a column is provided for you to note
your own preferred settings.
• For frozen foods follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
