Steaming
1. Fill the base
1
with cold tap water and put
the steam accelerator
8
in place. Do not add
any spices, sauces, wine etc. to the water. The
water quantity needed (maximum or minimum
water fill line) depends on the selected steaming
time.
Steaming in the steam basket
5
(e.g. vegetables, fish)
Put the food into the steam basket with
slots
5
. Add spices when steaming is
finished.
Always use the insert
E
when steaming food
with colour (e. g. carrots, paprika, tomatoes,
etc.), in order to minimize permanent colou-
ring of the steam basket
5
.
When using both steam baskets
5
the insert
E
or the rice bowl
e
can only be used in the
upper steam basket.
Steaming in the rice bowl
e
(e. g. rice, bakes)
Put the rice/grains with a liquid if necessary
into the rice bowl. Place the rice bowl into
the steam basket.
Steaming with egg tray
7
For an easy handling and in order to have
the eggs fixed during steaming process use
the egg tray
2. Place the filled steam basket onto the drip
pan
4
in the base
1
and set the cover
6
onto
the steam basket. Without the cover in place,
both consumption of electrical power and
steaming time increase.
When using both steam baskets, place the
second steam basket with its drip pan on the
lower steam basket.
3. When using the steamer ensure sufficient
vertical and horizontal space to other objects
(shelves etc.).
4. Plug the cord into a mains socket.
5. Set the timer
0
. To do this first turn the knob
to 60 minutes and then back to the desired
steaming time. The pilot light
q
illuminates and
steaming begins.
6. After the selected steaming time is over, the
appliance switches off automatically, the pilot
light turns off and the bell of the timer is ringing.
7. Check whether the food is cooked. Put on
long kitchen gloves. Switch the appliance off
by turning the knob back to «0». Lift the cover
6
being careful of escaping steam. Do not touch
any hot parts. Check the food using a long fork.
If you want to continue steaming put on the
cover and switch the appliance on again by
turning the knob and setting the remaining time.
When using both steam baskets:
To check whether the food is cooked in the
lower steam basket proceed as follows. Switch
the appliance off and remove the cover
6
.
Carefully lift off the upper steam basket (with the
insert) and place it on the reverse side of the
cover. Then, using kitchen gloves, carefully
remove the drip pan from the lower steam
basket and check whether the food is cooked.
If you want to continue steaming in both steam
baskets, first place the drip pan onto the lower
steam basket and then put on the upper steam
basket with the cover. Switch on the appliance
again.
8. When the appliance switches itself off and
the food is sufficiently cooked pull the plug and
let the appliance cool off slightly. Then remove
the steam basket, the rice bowl or the insert
together with the steam basket, using kitchen
gloves. The reserve side of the cover
6
serves
as stand for the steam basket. Remove the
food from the steam basket or the rice bowl
and spice it as desired.
For disassembling see Point 7.
9. The liquids which have dripped into the drip
pan
4
can be used for sauces or soup.
10. Before you pour out remaining water
from the base
1
, disassemble or clean the
appliance, always let it cool off. Pull the plug.
Water quantities
The water quantity needed depends on the
steaming time. When steaming up to 20 min-
utes fill the base up to the minimum water fill
line 3. When you are steaming longer than
20 minutes, fill to the maximum water fill line 2.
Ensure a sufficient water level, especially if the
steaming time was extended. Should no more
steam develop, please check the water level.
To do so, pull the plug and let the appliance
cool off somewhat. Lift the steam basket and
the drip pan carefully, and add water.

Braun FS 5100 only. Do not put them into
