Kenwood FS560 - Manual (Page 6)

● The steamer is fitted with an anti
limescale coated heating element to
prolong the life and efficiency of your
steamer. However, depending upon
the water hardness of your area, we
recommend the use of filtered water.
(Kenwood water filters are widely
available).
● Don't add anything (even salt or
pepper) to the water – it could
damage the heating element.
● To avoid the water level dropping
below ‘Min’, you can top up during
cooking. Simply add water via the
exterior fill funnel, taking care not to
overfill.
3 Sit the drip tray onto the base
making sure the handles fit over the
grooves in the base.
4 Fit the removable trays, rim
uppermost into their corresponding
basket rings - both parts are
numbered to assist with this.
5 Place the disc in the centre of tray 2.
6 Add the food, then stack the
baskets on the base, starting with
the lowest numbered basket at the
bottom and the highest number at
the top
