Steam mode, you can place one or both of the other steaming bowls on top to
keep food warm. For some inspiring Gentle Steam recipes, take a look at the
recipe booklet or visit www.philips.com/kitchen.
turbo mode
The Turbo mode is automatically active during the first 5 minutes of each
steaming process to allow the steamer to heat up quickly. By ensuring
that food reaches its ideal cooking temperature faster, more vitamins and
minerals are retained.
You may also want to use the Turbo mode:
- after you have opened the lid to check or stir food
- when you have added food to one or more bowls
- when you have refilled the water tank
To activate the Turbo mode, press the TURBO button. The Turbo mode
remains active for 1 minute and then switches off automatically. The Turbo
light goes out and the steamer continues to steam in the normal steam
mode. To switch off the Turbo mode when it is active, press the TURBO
button again.
Note: If you use the Gentle Steam mode within 5 minutes after the end of a
previous steaming process, the Turbo mode is not activated and the Turbo light
does not go on because the water is still warm.
keep-warm mode
The steamer automatically switches to the keep-warm mode after the
steaming time has elapsed, which is indicated by 3 beeps. The KEEP WARM
light goes on to indicate the steamer is in the keep-warm mode. The keep-
warm mode keeps the food warm for 30 minutes.
