Initial Operation
Q   Using Several Steam trays
j  Place the largest food or this with the longest
steaming time (e.g. also rice) in the lower
steam tray
6 .
j  Please note that the steaming times in the up-
per
3 and middle steam tray 4 increase by
5 – 10 minutes. Consider this when setting the
steaming time.
j  Taste of foods can spread through condensed
water. Therefore, generally place meat and fish
in the lower steam tray
6 . Let the lower steam
tray 6 empty if you want to prepare food with
longer steaming time first. Place then fish or meat
in the lower steam tray
6 at the desired time.
AttEntIOn! HAzArD OF BUrnS!
Always lift the cover
1 slowly, turning away
from you and let the steam exhaust backwards.
Do not bend over the appliance during steam
generation. Use oven cloths when touching the
cover
1 and the steam trays 3 , 4 , 6 . Use
a long fork or tongs when checking if the food
is done.
j  Place the food with the longer steaming time in
the lower steam tray
6 , if you want to prepare
food with different steaming times. Carefully
remove the cover
1 and place the next steam
tray 3 , 4 on top of the lower when the steam-
ing time is that of the food to be steamed.
Place the cover
1 carefully on top again.
Useful tips
The steaming times shown in the chart are only
approximate. Times can vary according to the size
of food, quantities in the steaming trays
3 , 4 , 6 ,
the freshness of food and personal tastes. When
you are more familiar with the steamer, you can
adjust the steaming times.
j  Please note that one layer of food will steam
more quickly than several layers. Therefore, the
steaming time increases with the quantity of
food, e.g. 1000 g of cauliflower florets require
longer than 500 g.
j  Make sure that all pieces are of a similar size.
So you achieve an optimal result.
 If pieces are
of different sizes and have to be layered, place
the smaller pieces on top.
j  Do not cram food into the steam trays 3 , 4 ,
6 . Leave enough room between the pieces to
ensure a good supply of steam circulation.
j  When steaming larger amounts, stir the food
with a long-handled spoon after half of the
steaming time.
j  Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood.
Always thaw everything completely first.
j  All of the times shown in the steaming chart
apply to their use with cold water. To slightly
reduce steaming times, use warm (not boiling)
water.
j  The rice bowl 2 is an ideal container for
steaming other food such as fruit, vegetables,
puddings etc.
Q   Steaming chart
The steaming times shown in the chart are only ap-
proximate. Times can vary according to the size of
food, quantities in the steaming trays
3 , 4 , 6 ,
the freshness of foods and personal tastes. There-
fore, we recommend checking the condition with a
long utensil (fork or skewer) towards the end of the
set steaming time. The steaming times apply to the
quantities shown in the chart. If not specified other-
wise, all steaming times refer to the use of the lower
steam tray
6 . Food in the upper 3 and middle
steam trays 4 requires 5 - 10 minutes longer.
All times shown in the chart apply to their use with
cold water.
