4 Before first use
Thoroughly clean the parts that come into contact with food before you use the appliance
for the first time (see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
Wipe the inside of the water tank with a damp cloth.
5 Using the appliance
Tip
• Put the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface.
• Fill the water tank with water up to the maximum level. with a full water tank, the steamer can steam
approximately 1 hour.
• If you want to set a different steaming time than the preset steaming time of the menu buttons, press
the menu button with the steaming time that comes closest to the desired steaming time. Then use
the + and - timer buttons to increase or decrease the steaming time.
Note
• When you want to steam foods that require various steaming times, set the timer to the longest
steaming time. Put the food with the longest steaming time in bowl 1. Steam until the remaining
steaming time on the display is equal to the shorter steaming time. Then carefully remove the lid with
oven mitts and place bowl 2 containing the ingredients with the shorter steaming time on top of
bowl 1. Put the lid on bowl 2 and continue steaming until the set steaming time has elapsed.
• Only fill the water tank with water. Never put seasoning, oil, or other substances in the water tank.
• Food in the top bowl takes usually a little longer to steam than food in the lower bowls.
• If you use ground herbs and spices, rinse the drip tray to wet the flavor booster. This prevents ground
herbs or spices from falling through the openings of the flavor booster. If desired, put dried or fresh
herbs or spices on the flavor booster to add extra flavor to the food to be steamed.
Food steaming table (fig.2)
The steaming time mentioned in the food table is just an indication. Steaming time may vary
depending on the size of the food pieces, the space between the food in the steaming bowl,
the amount of food in the bowl, the freshness of the food and your personal preference.
If desired, put dried or fresh herbs or spices on the flavor booster to add extra flavor to the
food to be steamed.
Steaming food (fig.3, 4 & 5)
Put the food to be steamed in one or more steaming bowls and/or in the XL steaming bowl.
You can use the bowl for melting chocolate/butter and cooking rice.
Steaming egg (fig.6)
Put the egg holders to steam eggs conveniently.
Note
• Use a needle to make a small hole on the bottom of the egg before placing it on the egg holder.
• Make sure you place the bowl properly so they do not wobble.
Steaming bowls
You do not have to use all 3 steaming bowls.
The steaming bowls are numbered. You can find the number on their handles. The top steaming
bowl is No. 3. The middle steaming bowl is No.2, and the bottom steaming bowl is No.1.
Only stack the steaming bowls in the following order: steaming bowl 1, steaming bowl 2,
steaming bowl 3.
Note
• If you use steaming bowls 2 and 3 with their removable bottoms (when using the XL steaming bowl),
always make sure the rim of the bottom points upwards and that the bottom locks into place when
you hear a click.
Keep-warm mode
The steamer automatically switches to the keep-warm mode after any menu. The food is
kept warm for 20 minutes. The light ring round the keep-warm button lights up and the light
ring round the menu button goes out.
If you want to keep the food warm longer than 20 minutes, press the on/stop button within 1
minute after the first keep-warm cycle has finished to start another keep-warm cycle. (fig.7)
If you want to deactivate the keep-warm mode when it is active, press the on/stop button.
If you want to start a keep-warm cycle when the appliance is off or after it has switched off
automatically, first press the on/stop button and then the keep-warm button. (fig.8)

When the water level in the water tank drops below the MIN level, the refill light flashes and
you hear a beep to indicate that you have to refill the water tank.
6 Cleaning and maintenance (fig.9)

clean the appliance.

them from swallowing it.
