Preparation
Prior to use
Using warm soapy water, wash all the
removable parts and the inside of the water
tank. Rinse and dry - Fig.
Do not immerse the water tank in
water when cleaning.
Preparing the steam cooker
Place the cooker on a stable surface.
Place the turbo ring around the heating
element, in the direction indicated in
the diagram - Fig.
Keep away from any objects which
could be damaged by the steam.
The turbo ring must always be in
place before filling the tank with water.
Filling the water tank
Pour the water directly into the water tank,
up to the maximum level as well as into
the turbo ring - Fig.
Place the juice collector on the tank until
firmly in place - Fig.
If the juice collector does not fit into place,
check the position of the turbo ring. It may
be the wrong way up.
Use fresh water with each use.
Do not put water into the steam
conduit.
Do not use seasoning or any other
liquid other than water in the water tank.
Make sure there is water in the
tank prior to use.
Positioning the removable bases
The upper basket(s) have bases which can
be removed to obtain a larger cooking
space or to cook larger foods.
To position the bases:
Place the basket on the table.
Hold the base right side up (hooks toward
the bottom).
Centre the base inside the basket.
Press on the hooks until the base is locked
into place - Fig.
To remove the bases, push up from
underneath - Fig.
Your steam cooker comes with a clip-on
handle which makes it easy to remove the
cooked food from the basket without
damaging it (fish, asparagus tips, etc...)
Clip the tip of the clip-on handle on the
base - Fig.
Squeeze the tip of the handle to unclip it.
The lower basket is fitted with a
fixed base.
Only use the clip-on handle on the
top basket.
When you use the clip-on handle
with a basket, do not clip the base into
that basket, simply lay the base, in order
to remove it more easily.
Make sure that the handle hooks
are properly in place.
Positioning the baskets
Place the food in the basket. Always place
the smallest basket on the juice collector.
