YOUR APPLIANCE AS 2 OPERATING MODES:
• Automatic programme mode:
Speed, cooking temperature and duration are
pre-programmed to make sauces, soups, stews,
steamed dishes, pastry and desserts
automatically.
• Manual mode:
Customised adjustments of speed parameters,
cooking temperature and duration for use at
your convenience.
INSTALLING T E BOWL, ITS ACCESSORIES AND
T E LID ASSEMBLY
• Before using for the first time, wash all items
(D, E, F, G) in warm soapy water, but not the
motor unit (A). Your bowl (D) is fitted with a
detachable spindle (D3) to facilitate cleaning.
• Ensure that all packaging has been removed
before use, particularly the protection located
between the bowl (D) and the motor unit (A).
• Place the seal (E4) on the seal holder (E3)
(See Fig. 1), clip the assembly to the lid (E2)
(See Fig 2).
• Position the seal (D4) on the common spindle
(D3). Lock the assembly onto the base of the
bowl with the locking ring (D5) (See Fig. 3).
• Position the chosen accessory in the bowl:
- the accessories (F1, F2, F3, or F4) to
on the common spindle at the bottom of
the bowl (See Fig. 4.1),
- the steam basket inside the bowl (F5),
(See Fig. 4.3 ), having taken care
beforehand to fill the 0.7l tank with liquid
preparation (water, sauce…) (See Fig. 4.2).
• Incorporate the ingredients into the bowl or
steam basket.
• Position the lid on the bowl (D) lining up the
two triangles (See Fig. 5), lock the lid without
pressing by turning it anti clockwise (See Fig.
6).
• Position the steam regulator cap (E1) on the
lid; two positions are possible: high steam (a)
or low steam (b).
or example: for steam cooking, assemble the cap,
with the maxi steam symbol (a) pointing towards
you (which will produce a maximum amount of
steam in the bowl).
Position the bowl (D) on the motor unit (A)
until you hear a “click” (See Fig. 8).
• The appliance only starts up if the bowl and the
lid are correctly positioned and locked on the
motor unit.

USING T E STEAM BASKET
Cooking times are for information purposes
only; in most cases the food will be properly
cooked.
However, certain conditions may affect the coo-
king time:
- size of the vegetables (cut or uncut)
- quantity of ingredients in the basket
- type of vegetables, their ripeness
- quantity of water in the bowl, which corres-
ponds to the measurement (0.7l).
- When using the steam cap with 'low steam' fa-
cing towards you, remember that 'low steam'
means there will be more steam in the bowl
and the cooking process will be more efficient.
The low steam setting allows a maxi-
mum amount of condensation to be
released and therefore it is recom-
mended to prepare dishes and sauces with a
better consistency (risotto, creamy puddings,
sauces, etc.).
The high steam setting allows a
maximum amount of heat and steam
to build up in the bowl for all types
of steam cooking (soups, etc.).
This setting also prevents splashing during
mixing.
If the food is not properly cooked, you can set
an additional cooking time.
Steam cooking time
Ingredients Quantities (max) Estimated cooking times Recommended steam
programme
Courgettes 800 g 20 min P1
Parsnips 800 g 25 min P1

You can also use the manual mode by selecting a temperature of 130°C and the cooking time according
to the quantity and type of ingredients: see table below.
Some recipes may cause unexpected overflow due to the appearance of bubbles, particularly
when using frozen vegetables. In this case, you should reduce the volumes accordingly.

this way, the motor is properly protected.
In cases of extreme use which disregard the re-
commendations in the instructions (see para-
graph ‘ IRST USE’: potentially excessively large
quantities and/or abnormally long use and/or
preparing different recipes at short intervals), the
electronic protection will be triggered to preserve
the motor; in this case, the appliance will stop
functioning and the message ‘SECU’ will be dis-
played on the LCD screen of the control panel to
indicate that the appliance is temporarily out of
service.
If ‘SECU’ is displayed on the control panel and
your appliance stops working, proceed accor-
dingly:
• Leave your appliance plugged in, do not press
the ‘0/1’ switch.
• Please refer to the recommendations in the ins-
tructions and readapt your use of the appliance
(see paragraph ‘ IRST USE’: amount of ingre-
dients/recipe preparation time/temperature/type
of accessories).

PROBLEMS CAUSES SOLUTIONS
Problems when steam
cooking.
The steam regulator cap is not properly
attached.
Set the steam cap to 'high steam' (turn
towards you); this setting allows a
maximum amount of steam to build up in
the bowl for all types of steam cooking
(soups, etc.), so there will be more steam
in the bowl and the cooking process will
be more efficient.
The 'low steam' position allows a maximum
amount of heat and steam to be dispersed
into the bowl for all steam cooking
(soups, etc.). This position also helps to
avoid splashing during cooking.
The 'high steam' position allows a
maximum amount of condensation to
escape and results in dishes or sauces with
a better consistency (risotto, cream
desserts, sauces, etc.).
Insufficient cooking time
Cooking times are for information purposes only;
in most cases it ensures that the food is properly
cooked.
However, certain conditions may affect the
cooking time:
- size of the vegetables (cut or uncut)
- quantity of ingredients in the basket
- type of vegetables, their ripeness
- quantity of water in the bowl, which
corresponds to the measurement (0.7l).
If the food is not properly cooked, you can set an
additional cooking time.
You can also use the manual mode by selecting a
temperature of 130°C and the cooking time
according to the quantity and type of ingredients.
