- Bowls 1 and 2 or bowls 2 and 3 (Fig. 11).
- Bowls 1, 2 and 3. (Fig. 12)
Note: The XL steaming bowl cannot be placed on top of steaming bowl 1 as it does not provide sufficient
space.
2 Before you place the XL steaming bowl on top of bowl 2 or 3, you need to remove the
bottoms from steaming bowls 2 or 3.
Tip: When you use the XL steaming bowl, you can reduce the steaming time by covering the XL steaming
bowl with aluminium foil. (Fig. 13)
using the appliance

Note: 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.
, The light ring round the button lights up and the preset steaming time is shown on the
display.
, The steaming process starts and the timer counts down the steaming time.
, The appliance beeps and switches to the keep-warm mode when the steaming time has
elapsed
3 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.
Note: Food in the top bowl usually takes a little longer to steam than food in the lower bowls.
4 If you steam large quantities of food, stir the food halfway through the steaming process.
Wear oven mitts and use a kitchen utensil with a long handle.
5 Carefully remove the lid.
Beware of hot steam that comes out of the appliance when you remove the lid.
To prevent burns, wear oven mitts when you remove the lid, the XL steaming bowl and the other
steaming bowls. Remove the lid slowly and away from you. Let condensation drip off the lid into the
steaming bowl.
6 Remove the plug from the wall socket and let the food steamer cool down completely
before you remove the drip tray.
- Be careful when you remove the drip tray, because the water in the water tank and the drip tray
may still be hot even if the other parts of the appliance have cooled down already.
7 Empty the water tank after each use.
Note: If you want to steam more food, use fresh water.
