ETA Calderon - Manual (Page 31)

– Do not fill in a bowl to more than three fifths when preparing food that expands during
cooking.
– Do not fill in the space in the bowl with a large amount of food; leave sufficient space for
the maximum steam passage.
– Liquids trapped in the drip tray can then be used for preparing soups, broths, sauces etc.
– Cook meat, fish and seafood thoroughly. Always defrost them before cooking.
– If you cook in all the three bowls at the same time, put meat, poultry, fish into the lower
bowl and vegetables into the upper bowls so that the juice from raw or insufficiently
cooked meat and poultry does not drip on the other food.
– The dripping condensed steam from the upper bowl can affect the taste of food in the
lower bowl. Make sure that tastes of food in various steaming bowls go together well.
– During the whole time there is steam going out from the hole in the lid, which is
accompanied with characteristic hissing. This is normal and the appliance cannot be
subject to a complaint for this reason.
– If you need to remove the lid for any reason during cooking (e.g. add food/add spices/
mix food), always use the handle and suitable protective aids (e.g. a towel, protective
gloves).
– Always flavour cooked food when the cooking is over. If spices, herbs or flavouring
agents get into water, they could harm the heating element.
– If you find out during cooking that there is insufficient amount of water in the container,
you can add water easily using a suitable container through filling hole A6.
– If you cook two meals one after another, empty the drip tray and add water to the
container.
– If you lift the lid more times, steams will go out and cooking will last longer.
– Check sufficient heat processing of the food before consumption. If food is undercooked,
set the cooking time again. At the same time, check and add sufficient amount of water
into the container.
ATTENTION
– If the lid is not properly placed on the bowl or if it is missing, food will not be steamed
properly.
– Some hot water may stay on the inner area of the lid, the bowl and the drip tray!
Hot water will also stay in the container although the other parts have cooled down
already. Make sure you do not get injured (scalded and burned). Use suitable
protective aids (e.g. cloth, protective gloves).

Advice for cooking in a steaming pot
Please consider the following tips for preparing food as examples and inspiration,
the purpose of which is not to provide instructions, but to show various possibilities of
preparing food. The preparation (processing) times depend on the amount, the kind and
the quality of used ingredients, but as a standard they are in minutes to tens of minutes.
Choose the amount of the processed food so that the maximum volume of the bowls is
not exceeded. Keep the prescribed times mentioned in the recipes. But always pour in
sufficient amount of water; failure to do so may result in overheating of the steam pot
before completing cooking without water. After some time of using the pot you will be using
your own times gained by experience and practical cooking.
