Philips HD9189 - Manual (Page 10)

Note: During the first 5 minutes of the steaming process, the turbo light lights up. This indicates that the
steamer uses extra power to heat up quickly.
3 When the steaming process has finished, the appliance beeps 5 times and then automatically
switches to the keep-warm mode (see section ‘Keep-warm mode’).
4 After use, carefully remove the lid.
Beware of hot steam that comes out of the appliance when you remove the lid.
Note: To prevent burns, wear oven mitts when you remove the lid. Remove the lid slowly and away from
you. Let condensation drip off the lid into the steaming basket.
Note: Use a kitchen utensil with long handles to remove the food from the steaming baskets.
5 When you remove a steaming basket, let condensation drip off the basket in the underlying
steaming basket or the drip tray.
6 Remove the plug from the wall socket and let the steamer cool down completely before you
remove the drip tray.
7 Empty the water tank after each use by tilting the base backwards and pouring the water
from the back of the base (Fig. 3).
Be careful when you remove the drip tray and empty the water tank, because the water in both
of them may still be hot, even if the other parts of the appliance have cooled down already.
Note: If the water runs out during steaming, the ‘water tank empty’ light goes on to indicate that you
need to refill the water tank (Fig. 15).
Note: If you want to steam more food and need more water, you can add small quantities of water
through the water refill spout to refill the water tank.
Note: The appliance automatically goes into the standby mode if it has not been used for 2 minutes.
Press the start/stop button to activate the control panel again.
