This multi-functional steamer can be used to cook various egg dishes, whether it’ll be
hard boiled eggs, soft boiled eggs, coddled egg, poached eggs, Deviled eggs - all will
come out perfectly. And there’s very little waiting time since it steams 7 eggs at one
time!
It is also versatile as it cooks and steams meat, dumplings & buns, corn and other
vegetables. In fact, steaming is far better than boiling vegetables as it reduces cooking
time while maximising nutrients. It is also safe and hygenic as the flat Heating Plate is
made of stainless steel, which is easily washed and gets sterilised every time the
appliance is in operation.
Another safety feature is that it comes equipped with automatic cut-off to prevent water
dry and over-temperature cut-off protection functions. Its cute apperance and
sophisticated workmanship will surely catch your eye.

The Appliance
2. This appliance must be used only for the purpose it was expressly designed; any
use NOT complying with the instructions contained in the manual is considered
inappropriate and dangerous. The manufacturer is NOT responsible for possible
damages caused by the inappropriate and/or unreasonable use.
3. The appliance is designed for steaming various types of food ingredients. In the
process of steaming, some oil and sauces may be added to the food ingredients
prior to steaming. DO NOT add a large quantity of liquids other than water into the
Water Tank, as the appliance was designed for heating water only. Different liquids
have different boiling points, with volatile liquids having boiling points lower than
100C, the boiling point of water.
4. The installation/assembly of the appliance will be made in accordance with the
indications of the manufacturer. A wrong procedure may cause damages to
persons, animals or objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be considered
responsible.
5. Before use, check the integrity of the appliance and power cable. DO NOT operate
the appliance when its housing (especially the Heating Base) is damaged. In case
you are not sure, contact a qualified person. If the power cable is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified technician in
order to avoid a shock hazard.
6. Before powering the appliance make sure the rating (voltage and frequency)
corresponding to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the appliance,
and that the wall socket is properly grounded.
7. DO NOT power the appliance using multiple sockets. If possible, avoid the use of
adapters and/or extension cables; if their use is absolutely necessary, use only
materials in compliance with the current safety regulations and according to the
electrical parameters of the adapters.
8. The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other remote
control appliances which are not specified in this manual.
