●Keep your steamer away from walls and overhanging
cupboards: the steam could damage them.
●Season food after cooking. If seasoning gets into the water, it
could damage the heating element.
●See the cooking guides on pages 9 - 11.
●Your steamer is for domestic use only.
1Fit the strainer inside the water tank. (It stops bits getting into
the steamer.)
2Pour cold water into the tank up to:
●'Max' if you're cooking for over 30 minutes; or
●'Min' if you're cooking for under 30 minutes.
●Filtered water is best as it reduces limescale (Kenwood water
filters are widely available).
●Don't add anything (even salt or pepper) to the water – it could
damage the heating element.
●You can top up the water during cooking if the steam slows
down or stops.
3Sit the drip tray inside the base.
using one basket ●Put the basket on the base. (Don't use the separator ring.)
using more than one basket ●Stack the baskets on the base, fitting a separator ring between
the baskets.
using the rice bowl ●Put water and rice in the rice bowl. Put the rice bowl into
a basket. (You can also cook something in the other basket(s)
if you like. If you do, fit a separator ring between the baskets.)
4Fit the lid, plug in and set the timer. The light will come on and
steam will soon appear.
5When the time is up, a bell will ring, the light will go out and your
steamer will switch off automatically.
6Unplug and clean after use.

hints
●Condensation will drip from the upper basket into the lower basket. So
make sure the flavours go well together.
●Liquid left over in the drip tray is good for making soup or stock. But be
careful: it will be very hot.
●You can also use the rice bowl for cooking anything in liquid (eg
vegetables in sauces or poaching fish in water).
●Leave gaps between pieces of food. And put the thicker pieces nearer
the outside.
●Stir large amounts half way through cooking.
●Smaller amounts cook faster than larger amounts.
●Similar-sized pieces of food cook evenly.
●Like a conventional oven, you can add food as you go along. If
something needs less time, add it later.
●If you lift the lid, steam will escape and cooking will take longer.
●Food will keep cooking when your steamer switches off, so remove it
immediately.
●The cooking times on pages 9 - 11 are guides based on using the
lower basket. The higher the food is, the slower it cooks. So allow an
extra
5 - 10 minutes for food in the next basket above. Check that food is
thoroughly cooked before eating.
●If your food's not cooked enough, reset the timer. You may need to top
up with water. Here's how. Unplug. Then empty the drip tray and top up
the water tank - but be careful of the hot liquid and steam.

●Before cleaning, always switch off, unplug and let everything cool.
●Never put your steamer base in water or let the cord or plug get wet.
cleaning
water tank ●Empty, then swill out with warm water and dry.
outside ●Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry.
all other parts ●Wash, then dry.
●You can wash the plastic parts (excluding steamer base) on the top
rack of your dishwasher.
descaling ●Descale after 7-10 uses, depending on how hard your water is.
Descaling increases steam power and helps your steamer last longer.
1Remove all parts except the strainer.
2Pour clear vinegar into the tank up to 'Max'. Don't use a descaler.
3Plug in and set the timer for 20-25 minutes. Unplug if the vinegar
overflows.
4Unplug and when the steamer is cool, pour away the vinegar and swill
out the tank several times with water.
